This led to it getting in carpet, then soaking up into my Galaga cabinet which is made of particle board.<\/p>\n<p>I used Milwax wood hardner and soaked it into the wood really good to stiffen it. I removed the broken soaked bottom panel and replaced it with a cut piece of plywood. It took two tries to get the cuts right, as I measured it wrong on one of the attempts (oops.) Also, given that the wood was flared out a bunch it didn&#8217;t go so easily. I added some L brackets, and also lots of pieces of wood glued to the side and bottom. I ordered new leveler feet, although I&#8217;m still nervous about having the cabinet sit on the replacement board 24&#215;7. I might just leave it and the new game that is joining it sitting on 2x4s in case the carpet gets soaked again.<\/p>\n<p>Pictures are of the initial removal, I didn&#8217;t seem to have any of the replacement in the album and it&#8217;s back on it&#8217;s feet. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"imgur-embed-pub\" lang=\"en\" data-id=\"a\/YkYsQ\"><p><a href=\"http:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/YkYsQ\">Galaga Cabinet Repair<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/s.imgur.com\/min\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This one is checked off and done, although the pictures don&#8217;t show it.
