it's mostly cosmetic. the swelling of the sides keeps the tmolding from seating. I would look at restoring it if the artwork was available.

Hey gang,

I have been the very proud owner of a Q*Bert's Qubes for about 16 years now. It's great. The real .

It is in good shape, occasionally has sound issues as it warms up, the cabinet must have gotten wet back in the day 'cause it's swollen, but it works. It has all the appropriate conversion artwork.

The cabinet is the real issue, it's pretty ugly. The swelling has made the T-Molding pop and it just not beautiful.
I'd like to either build a new cabinet for it or replace it with better old one.

My hesitance in doing this is availability of artwork. I would need new side art, overlays. I've put up with its ugliness because I have always told myself, hey, it's all original, (conversion-original) but original.

I remember way back when, someone had scans of the artwork but there wasn't enough interest to make it worth reproducing due to the games rarity. now obviously a lot has changed in the past few years.

Kinda just thinking out loud.

David
