That doesn't look too bad. I like the screw through the t-molding. Awesome game, good luck with the restore.

thanks for the pix.

That is a gnarly chunk out of the front. Bondo fill or cut and replace the wood?

I like those control panels where you just need to replace that little plate. Since I have access to a plasma cutter, I'd be making myself panels left and right if I had one of those.

For that corner, or any corner where its not quite a large enough bit of damage to warrant just cutting out the corner and adding in a new piece of wood.. I've had good results adding in either a bit of wooden doweling rods, or some screws to act as a sort of as rebar for when i formed bondo around it, just to give it a little bit of strength/durability. If you try to rebuild the corner from just bondo alone , at some point in the future if it happens to gets a bit of force on that corner (getting kicked or banged around), it might just snap out the chunk of bondo. I used screws on my Joust corner touchup a few years back, wish I took pictures of it, but its held up great, and you'd never know it was repaired that way.

I use dowels too, for this cab I'd get some corner guards to go over the repair work

If the corner is supposed to be square I've had good luck patching in plywood.  It holds better than bondo for the corners.

This ones pretty grimy. It would need to be stripped completely, parts all cleaned, tarnish removed, and the holes patched. Id rather just skip that for this one and get started on more important stuff.

I will attest to this. It's the difference in time between a new coat of paint on the outside vs. essentially making a whole unit from parts... Because if you're gonna do it right, do it the whole way. Especially when its mechanical parts... Nothing like something that looks nice but doesn't work anywhere near as nice.

Looking good Chance. I dig the corner trick... Have you ever considered grafting on a section of cab? This one doesn't seem bad, but have seen some who have added a chunk of wood to replace missing pieces. Looks tedious either way.

If you're going this far on the cab, you might as well re-finish the original doors.  The HAPP won't look right.  It's equivalent to someone doing an awesome job on a cabinet and then slapping an X-Arcade on there because it's "easier".

Any updates on this cab Chance? I figure you are probably busy with your two new cocktail cabinet projects, but I'm excited to see how this one turns out.  I love Ghouls n' Ghosts, but have only ever played the home console versions of the game

Do yourself a favor. Don't front load a bunch of reasons why people are not going to like your choices. Just put it out there and let the choices speak for themselves. It betrays a lack of confidence in those decisions.

Also. Does the internet really need another laminating video? There are thousands of them already.
