Try to find an older Halon (sp?) fire extinguisher. Much preferred for
electrical fires. ;-) I dunno if the new eco-safe stuff works as well
or not...

You might want to replace the fans (usually there are three?) if for no
other reason than they're 120V AC fans and noisy as hell.

I'd definately switch the power supply for the boards over to a
PC-switching supply too. As I recall it's "bad" for the monitor if you
lose one of the supply rails on the card-cage. Max-deflection type
signal output or something...

My Sega Multigame will run all the Sega Vector games in that cabinet.
Tac/Scan will be "sideways" though unless you want to hook-up a a couple
switches/relays to invert the signal outputs...
