Back in 2016 my house got 3ish feet of water in it and among the victims was my beloved MVS cabinet.
I'm finally in a position to start cleaning it up and it's going surprisingly smoothly!
Even though the monitor got water half way up it, no problems there.
Out of an abundance of caution, I replaced the power supply. Turns out I didn't need to... Both because the old one worked fine and the new one died almost instantly. Kind of wtf there and I bought it too far back to remember where I got it.
After that has been a whole lot of general filth and corrosion cleanup. Surprisingly enough, everything seems to work fine!
So now that the functional bit is out of the way I have one or two things left to address.
First, one of the many anonymous helpers accidentally threw out the front panel to the cabinet when we were gutting the house. Can anyone suggest a way to get or make a new one?
Second, the control panel overlay has always been a little rough since it lived in an arcade most of its life. What's a good way to freshen that up?
