Recieved most of the parts and art that I ordered. I have to say both mikesarcade and arcadeshop.com were extremely quick in shipping my orders out! I have been stripping down the cabinet and trying to get a paint match. I grabbed some of the codes from another thread but that was lighter than my cabinet so I have 2 more samples ordered. Amusingly the 8oz behr sample paints cost me $4 in store and $2 online, with free shipping to my home...so strange!
Anyways, I have the base glued up for repair. One corner has some wood splintered off so I may bondo that before sanding and repainting the entire base of the cab.
Stripping off the damaged artwork:
I took apart the cp and joystick completely. I am in the process of cleaning out and polishing all the metal parts of the stick (kind of a crappy picture, I should have taken some before pics of the parts of the joystick oh well!:
Up next is finish polishing up the stick, re-lubricate and re-assemble it. Then put the whole CP back together with the new artwork. In a week when my paint samples come in keep trying to find a good match for the DK blue. I really want to just touch up the vinyl rather than re-paint the whole thing!
