Oh god. Shadow Dancer arcade cabinet is heavy as #$%!

A couple of weeks ago I picked up an original Pac-Man arcade machine that needed a new monitor, speaker, and some body work. I have the monitor and speaker going, so I have a fairly good looking Pac-Man cab. Some would think, "That should make you happy and content!" Well, I (and my wife) wish it did, but sense I got the Pac and before I even had it up and running, I have been looking for the next machine.
 
Today, I got another one, kind of. I found an empty Shadow Dancer cabinet on Craigslist. I figure I will make a multicade out of it or a MAME, which is what the previous owner was using it for. I did discover something neat though: there was a working Shadow Dancer PCB in that ol' cab! It also had the original marquee. I do not plan on turning it back into a dedicated machine, but it is nice to have the stuff in case I get the craving to do so or someone else ends up needing it. Oh yea! As the title said: Shadow Dancer is some heavy ass shit. There was one point that I was fairly sure I was going to have my legs crushed, but my friend (Giant Bomb user) McRibs saved my precious walking buddies. I hope to have some pictures of my Pac and Shadow Dancer machines up at some point soon.
