I disagree with everyone here. Yes, the monitor is small, the bezel poorly fitting, the button configuration is bizarre at best, the front end not configured correctly, and the classic cab is wrecked into a mame cabinet BUT... you do have a "Happ Track Ball Installed" sticker on it, so I think you're gonna be ok.
In all seriousness... seruiosuly, I'd like to give you serious advice... of course the old addage applied that it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it... but I would offer it up as a "free if you come and get it" kind of thing... because it really needs to be rebuilt... and starting from scratch would be better that trying to retool that machine, unless it was free... then it would have some value as a potential game cab.
That's just my opinion. Personally, if I were you, I'd just spend a weekend or two redoing it... it has potential to be fun for the whole family. Key is to find a game the wife likes, so she'll be motivated to keep it. Try her on Tetris, or Dr. Mario, a few other puzzle games, Ms. Pacman... something to get her interested.
EDIT: Also, consider listing it as a project "Rockola Fantasy" cab... a collectior may just want to restore it back the way it belongs. That's probably be the best way to give to someone who'd appreciate it. Project cabs can fetch from free to $100 to the right collector.
