Good luck! Those are notorious for "crumbling". The cab is a type of particle board. Very heavy. Frogger is a classic!

Yes it is very heavy. We got it up the stairs and into my office though! I am so excited guys! This thing is all original, monitor, boards, everything, fires right up, kids and I played it right away. So cool watching my teenagers and my 6yo son play it. They had never really played a vintage machine. I'd say cabinet is in excellent shape considering its age, however the bottom front right corner is missing some wood grain laminate, and a few scratches but very good overall, IMO. Not crumbling at all. Appears to have all original graphics. It was in a church youth group classroom. They sold it to make room for a stage or something. This machine makes me realize just how rough that Ms.Pacman I bought is. Probably convert to a multi-game. Anyway, pics and possibly video coming tomorrow of this awesome Facebook yard Sale site find!
