I still have it, but the small board at the end of the neck is broken. I'll have to see if I can find out how to fix it or get someone that knows to look at it.

Hope I did the pics right.

Never used mineral spirits before, but that does sound like the place to start. Get the cab all cleaned and holes filled. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for all the feedback. Sorry I have not been around been packing and moving. I took some pics now I have to figure out how to post them. Mr_Rampage I like the idea of working on it in steps. I'll most likely do it that way. Lordkahless214 I don't plan on selling it at all spent to many coins on it when I was a kid.

That was cool thanks for sharing it.

Sure I'll put some up once I can get to it in the garage again. We are moving soon and everything is going out there for now so it's a mess.

Do you have any ideas on how to remove the paint without hurting the artwork? Would it be better to get new and sand off the old?

I'm not sure yet. It's not even a golden tee anymore. I got it as an empty cab with just the monitor.

I was given a gutted cab with a monitor that someone was going to MAME. When I got it to the house and started to clean it up I found the sticker that said it was a TMNT. As this was one of my favorite games as a kid I was thinking of restoring it. Problem is it only has the monitor and I don’t even know if it works. The side art was painted over with black paint. Also it’s missing the wood for the control panel.

So the things I know I would have to get are the following:

TMNT 4-player PCB
Control panel wood
Control panel overlay
Joysticks and buttons
Wiring harness
Power supply
Marquee
Marquee holder
Marquee light
Coin doors
Bezel
Side art (maybe)
Monitor (maybe, I hope the one it has works)

If I missed something please let me know. Also thank you for your time.

Hello,

I recently got a NEO GEO big red and a gutted TMNT that was a golden tee. I’ve been lurking and seen how helpful everyone is to each other. So when my wife said I could get them I wanted to sign up and join you all. I found the forums about six months ago on John’s YouTube channel which I found by looking at custom cabs.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope everyone is doing well.

John thank you for the wonderful YouTube channel and having the forums here.
