| Spyridon:
I lightly sanded down part of the back door to remove some of the grime. I'm hoping I can take this into the paint shop and have them match the paint color. |
| Spyridon:
Applied a coat of Citristrip to the side. Wait a few minutes and the paint scrapes right off |
| Spyridon:
After the Citristrip was scraped off and most of the paint I used the orbital sander to take off what was remaining. |
| jcroach:
Great work. Looking forward to following your restoration. |
| RetroACTIVE:
I'll get that serial number as soon as I can remember ( ;D ) There are some subtle diffs between the machines, like your rear doors look to be particle while mine are ply. Will this be a keeper for you? I tell you what, this game ended up being one of the coolest games in my collection. I just love it. With the Braze kit installed, its a whole heck of a lot of awesome! Everyone that sees this thing is like "WOW :o I didn't know that's what a Space Invaders was like". With the cab cleaned, new black light and tuned up monitor the thing just twinkles. I will never let mine go. Can't wait to see your blue... mine was considerably darker than most. At first I was a little upset but when I went back to double check the color against the original it was pretty darn close to spot on so... I've made my peace with it. |
