Some more progress on the garage over a long 4 day weekend.  I managed to do some more clearing out and teardown of some old arcade cabs.

Before

I picked these cabs up from a carwash garage (Free).  All are in various states of disrepair and had lots of weather damage. 

Carnage and kept goods.

I plan on cutting the sideart down alittle bit in size and using it as wallart.  The controls, pcbs, token doors, token boxes will be used at some point  in the future.

I collect arcade tokens and tearing apart old machines lead's to a few tokens. 

Warmth

This came from my boss and should take some of the chill off the garage. 

Lots more to come on this long process.

Looking good. Im interested to see what you do with those pieces of the Cabinets.
 
A good decision to get rid of those old cabs. If they need a lot of repairs and you don't play on them, they simply take up valueable space. You could really turn those sides into great wallarts with just a bit of work (and a good cleaning). It would definitely help "define" the game room. Smiley
 
DUDE! Nice transitioning, saw your pics on your profile...we don't live far from each other, I'm in Vincennes. I bet you like to go to disc replay every now and then
