Short followup on this: I just talked to akishop if they can use their close relationship with Taito to do some manual magic. You'll never know. I'll keep you guys posted. Maybe. :awe:

Is yours retrievable or will you get a replacement made?

I think it's retrievable once you strip off all the screws it doesn't look any better somebodies magnolia paint is all over it :lol: But the steel is thin so should be easyish sort ,my main concern is getting the cp surround area square again but hopefully looks doable.

I don't have one of the below mounting plates for mounting sticks and I think it takes the middle bolts of the cp? Only guessing as I don't have one so that's something that I'll have to worry about later.. Although there is always the "hungarish"

The other machine needed a new connector on the audio pcb which I coincidentally found last week in an old Grundig TV. Wifey + kid will be away this weekend so there's a good chance I will find some time to drive to the gameroom, build the stuff in and finish both MT-8 machines.
Well, apart from them goddamn bezels. :palm:
Do you have a picture of the audio amp ? not sure ive seen it
