Buck Hunter 2 Restoration

[angus66]

So I'm new here but am excited about this site. It's a wealth of information. Am restoring a 10 year-old Buck Hunter 2 Machine. It has a rather ugly cabinet; blue and grey formica and a console that looks like it was jerry-rigged to fit as there is three levels of t-molding on each side. I know restoring a 10 year-old BBH machine is like akin to restoring a '77 Vega but there was a BBH machine and a Golden Tee machine in the bar that I worked in university so this is what I want now in my Batcave. I might do a mame machine down the road - they look fun. But I've also been thinking about maybe a bartop Altered Beast or Double-Dragon machine as those were the two big games I remember when I frequented arcades.

Anyway - my father-in-law and I have started on this and I thought I'd post some pics.

Cheers.

Nothing wrong with restoring a Buck Hunter but I'm thinking that probably used to be a Neo Geo cab. A 2 slotter maybe?? Could be wrong. Heavy beast of a cab. What all you plan on doing to it?

Console art, and reworked marquee are done and ready to mount. Replacing the blue and grey Formica with black and that's about it. Oh, and Orange T-Molding.

I like the way it looks like a plexi planel in the front instead of a coindoor.
