It would need a new cabinet and art, IF the PF is not water damaged, that's a big if, it could be restored. All the boards are there, they should not have been affected really, wiring harness, another big if. Add in ramps, plastics and the 100 other things it would need like replacing rusted screws, light sockets, ugh, that could be a money pit. Would add one more machine to the pool and someone would have a huge labor of unbridled love, could be worth it

OMG, Why are there bids? That WWH2o is in $HIT Condition
That thing is beyond restoring, for the money and time that would be invested its not worth it. Let's hope someone is buying it for parts?
That is the worst I have ever seen as far as condition. I'm really suprised people are bidding. There should be a buy it now option, and the price should be 1 cent.
This thing obviously sat out in the rain for a long time, what are the odds the metal pieces are corroded? Including the boards.

I am glad I bought mine a few years back when they were 1200 in good payable shape.
Yeah, the price for a WH2O has really soared. I turned one down for around that price like 6 years ago. It had a lot of dings/scratches in the cabinet, and some other issues, so I walked away. Looking back, I probably should have taken it and re-decaled it!
This one looks so bad because of the cab, but really go to any show and you can pickup a used solid cab for 50 bucks. 300 in decals later and it will be just as good as any cq.
The more I think about it the more 600 for it actually doesn't sound bad. If I wanted to make a game perfect this would be a good starting point. PF on it looks good, probably send it to kruzman for touch up and clear.
Really the kicker is the topper. Translite can be had, but that topper will cost more than the base machine.

Phoenix arcade is working on a repro topper decal with the foil.
