Well once you unplug it the scores will most likely go away. Lots of early cabinets didn't permanently store scores, because they didn't need to for the cost of the components of that functionality.
I understand wanting a real one, but honestly its cheaper and less square footage if you go the A1U way. I personally modified a TMNT 4player cabinet into a Gauntlet Legends replica cabinet for like, $400 less than what a real one costs. Also its way smaller than a real one, but not so small that it is comical. It moves it from being the size of a tall bookshelf to the size of a tall locker. The only downside is because it is a 4 player version, the control deck sticks out on both sides.
I also considered building a Tapper replica cabinet as well.
