repair swollen taito arcade cab

[@ryanedwards976]

Awesome video. I just picked up a Tahiti trim line Space Invader that pretty much has the same issue. This video is going to make restoring that cabinet so much better. Thanks for the step by step on what you did.

Awesome,I got to do the same thing to a galaga.You did it the same way arcade body shop did...... now it's my turn to get the nerves to do it.

[@Terry68Firebird]

you can totally do it - and the sanding and bondo step covers imperfections - save that galaga :D

[@EddRay]

@@Terry68Firebird gotta do it.It's my wives cab.

I think you did an excellent job with the cab and also explaining how you achieved the end result. Thanks to your video I know what tools to use and how to use them :) - I hope you do more videos.

I restored a Krull cabinet not long ago. Mice had lived in it and who knows what else.

I found a converted Space Dungeon cab like this on the bottom as well as the top swollen. Unfortunately, wasn't salvageable...

Great job and thanks for sharing this video. Question: How did you remove the tongue and groove lip after you cut off the sides? Just sand it down? Cut it? Need some details when you can. Thanks again! 👍

[@Terry68Firebird]

thomas heroux sand i think- was not much there

[@Terry68Firebird]

thomas heroux combination of sanding and I used a chisel to remove the little jot of wood to get it flat.

[@thomasheroux3146]

Terry68Firebird thanks! I just picked up a cab in worse shape than yours, but gonna give it a go thanks to your help! 👍
