8BitMonk:
Control Panel

The control panel wasn't too bad but wanted to make it like new.



I had the metal part powder coated and purchased a new overlay and bezel from Phoenix Arcade.



Here you can see the new overlay vs. original, Phoenix does a good job matching.



Applying overlay



Joystick needed cleaning and new grommet



Finished

I think the carriage bolts on top are supposed to be silver but I liked them black better.








8BitMonk:
Coin Door

There was some rust on the coin doors and the left 25¢ insert was scratched. Also, the right coin is gone up and no coin mech.



Cleaned and spray painted.



Finished

New coin slots, everything cleaned up, added a slot bezel on right but haven't been able to find a replacement mech yet.

Thanks, yeah I've been lucky most of my pick-ups aren't in too bad of shape.  Funny thing is if you're completely restoring them it's nearly the same amount of work either way.
