My first arcade machine! (aero fighters)

[enp82003]

Hey all, I just recently purchased my first arcade machine from a friend for $150. It has been a dream of mine to have one ever since i was little.

Anyway the reason I got it so cheap is that the fire button for the 1st player isn't working (but should be an easy fix?) other then that it seems fine, a little dirty but fine.
I guess the one thing I underestimated about it was its size and weight lol. I would really like to disassemble and reassemble it in my room. because my room is on a 2nd floor.

If i do disassemble it i am kind of scared of the CRT. It's a vertical screen. In the cabinet the CRT has no covering and after being in the tech field for awhile I know touching any open CRT is a bad idea.

I also just want to take off the metal front where the coin slots are and the metal base, just to make the cabinet some what lighter for bringing to my room. If taking off the metal makes a lot of difference in the weight i might not even bother with the CRT which I really don't want to deal with.

Any one have any ideas suggestions or anything they would like to add?

Here is a picture of what the front of the machine looks like the only difference is mine has blue sides with white letters that say "SEGA" which i think is awesome!
