Never give in. Just remember that you have already spent $2000 - So you just need to rebuild or source another cabinet. Maybe someone has a donor cabinet (Brett or MarkC etc..). Here's one from left field - Contact "The Pinball Factory" - They MAY have a spare from the MM Project (No smart comments - just giving a suggestion). You can buy decals and you should be able to source a parted out cabinet with electricals.

Do not part it out - Wait for someone to offer the parts you need. Just need some patience.
