Damn, no mucking around wasting time here John!! Powering through which is great  #*#

In regards to Funhouse, i did in fact use plasti-bond for all minor/major chips and dings. Basically any 2-part epoxy filler should suit cabinet work as you need that chemical reaction to guarantee a solid repair.
3M also sell a product which is almost IDENTICAL to plasti-bond, but goes the next step adding fibreglass 'fibres' to the mix. I used this for all MAJOR body work on T2 (and will in the future for Pinball Tales games). I cant remember where i sourced this from, but i recently saw it at Super Cheap, which is awesome  ^^^

One more tip in regards to cabinet restoration

To ensure any epoxy repair work is going to stand the test of time/tilts/nudges etc, i also drill out (very small sized bit) a series of 'pilot holes' to the damaged area to give the epoxy a bit of bite into the surrounding 'good' timber. If this doesnt make sense, i can draw a diagram.

Good luck with your cabinet, and keep the updates coming, it looks like you picked up a GREAT project. (I'm still on the Addams hunt  ^.^)
