In The Left Corner...
FrizzleFried:
So far so good... 3 coats of black oil based Rust-Oleum applied with a fine foam roller...
Next up... T-Molding and control panel. I'm going to hold off on the side art installation until Sunday to give the paint some time to outgas...
FrizzleFried:
Welp... she's just about done. All that is left is (A) Super side art from Rich... (B) Duck/Pull CPO art from Rich... (C) Super Punch Out marquee from Scott... and (D) Installation of a remote battery board. Well... I'll also be ordering a couple of sound board cap kits and monitor cap kits. The top monitor is screaming for a cap kit and one of the sound boards is a bit noisy so it too will get recapped within the next couple weeks.
The side art I picked up had a dirty screen in the orange of the left of the P for Punch Out... I cleaned it up as best as I could... but it's noticeable up close. I'm a little bummed about that but not enough to pull the side art and wreck the paint...
Here's how the "P" looked before I touched it up...also note the red screen is 'off' slightly. No... I am not happy... but I hate sanding and I sure as hell won't be pulling the side art off due to the chances it takes paint with it.
Spyridon:
Are you going to keep those buttons white or switch them to orange to match your other cab?

I'm gunna keep them white... they came stock that way (at least on this cab). Unfortunately, my SPO PCB set is acting up right now... that's my first priority.
Also, I heard from TOG and MM... both shipments will be sent tomorrow so by Friday the cab restoration/conversion should be done...
EDIT: SPO boardset issue rectified... I found the VLM5030 had some pretty dirty legs... I cleaned them up and my voices came back and the lockup went away!
FrizzleFried:
Well... my marquee from Scott arrived today. I'm pretty sure my SUPER and DUCK-PULL artwork will arrive tomorrow... then just a recap of the audio boards and upper monitor and all will be good.
As for the game itself... I can't get past Vodka Drunkinski.... that bastard is FAST!
