CAVE will probably repair it if you send it through Fujita. A broken Ketsui getting fixed costed about 130 Euros. It's never fun when it happens though.
On the other hand, it's not a broken Ketsui, so will it be worth sending it off to Japan?

That's a reasonable price.
I wonder if Cave would resurrect/convert to a black label...

Happy to have a look at it for you, can't make any promises as they can be a pig to fix, but PM me if you want to know how much I would charge (not a vast amount

I'm curious if anyone's ever had this problem on any other pgm based cave games. I've been watching the battery on my ketsui ever since I picked it up a year or two ago looks like the original battery but everything's holding together well and not leaking yet.

Well, mine went off to Fujita on Friday for a repair quote. Fingers crossed it's not horrendous.

What if it comes back Ketsui instead?

It's not too bad. Selling the casing offset a large chunk of that.

Nice one. Assuming you didn't buy the DOJ for full price that's not too bad at all.

Great. Would be interesting to see a photo of it when it comes back. When the Ketsui I accidentally broke came back from CAVE/Fuijita, the factory scratched parts (to avoid copying, mt8) were all shiny. So it's almost better than new now.
