A Gallag to Galaga cabinet resto-mod. (new title)
HHaase:
And, after a nice long cure time, the joystick is back together.
I've also got the control panel stripped and painted. Silly me, I DIDN'T wait for it to cure before assembling it, so it had to come apart again and get a fresh coat.
More updates on that when it's closer to done.
I've also got some fresh media on the way for my brass tumbler, I didn't want to use the same stuff I've been using to polish my .30-'06 brass for the arcade/pinball stuff.
I'll be throwing the hardware in there from now on before assembling, hand polishing with a scotch-brite works but is rough on my hands.
HHaase:
Stripped down the coin door today, and have all the little bits and pieces waiting for a trip in the polisher..... once my polish media arrives. ARGH, I hate waiting. I lucked out on this coin door, the slots themselves were held on with 6-32 carriage bolts and not the usual rivets. This will make life much easier when re-assembling later on.
SirPeale:
The slots are usually held on with bolts.

From some of the other threads, I was thinking they were held on with the same snap/rivet things that you were searching high and low to find. Unless that only applies to the logo plate?
ArcadeClassix:
Yeah, the rivets are just on the name/logo plate. I have 6 Midway coin doors and all of the coin slots are secured with carriage bolts. Drill the rivets on the logo plate off from the back making sure not to drill all the way through them, save them, and reuse them if you are as anal about accuracy as I am lol. That is if you are replacing the logo plate.
