Following Etienne's Money Money piggy bank project last year I played It in MAME and it is really a very nice game.

Good that the US and EU cabs are identical ! I would choose for the 900E monitor too since it has a bit more standard set up with the HV cup. The 900 cups all became inflexible over the years. Plus the HVT is available AFAIK.

The rusty coindoor should be easy to fix right ? Isn't it supposed to be stainless steel ? At least it can be of good use on another Zacc after removing the rust.

The trucking companies insurance paid out for the actual cost of the machine and the shipping less $50 I paid to be able keep the remains of the machine...
...to use now, about 10 years later, to restore another one.

You can't here. AFAIK the KLOV forum guys "hacked" it into their system but it's not a regular feature I guess.

With the amount of cand you still have to work on I highly recommend getting a good ESR tester, will save you a lot of pointles cap replacements.

All the caps are 30 years old, though, might as well do them all. It's hard to imagine the difference it makes - after the Jackrabbit cap kit, the entire picture geometry and sync was completey off - an indication that more than one cap was bad. I tested a few of the ones that came off and around a quarter of them were no longer in spec - 10uF coming in at 3.98uF, for example. For a -20, +80 tolerance, IIRC very few exceeded the stated value with most measuring under.

But yes, it's a lot of work but worth it to have the monitor solid in the long term. I sigh a lot looking at the potential 35 or so monitors that need working on  :-\ That's a lot of repair debt to work off  :-[
