Track and Field cocktail restoration
Wade:
As Jakobud said, we are in the process of measuring this game.
Is that Blueprint screen burn?? I wasn't sure, I thought it might have been Mr. Do! Obviously the monitor has been swapped at some point. The picture is just great though, so I would like to just swap the tube, not the whole monitor.
Thanks Paige. As you probably know from some of my previous projects, I'm a big fan of formica or similar laminates. They look great, are durable, are fairly easy to install, and they hide a LOT of flaws! On a woodgrained cabinet like this, it's really the only way to fix the chips and holes.

I've not tried, this,but read it as a tip somewhere...you might try using brasso on the glass to see if you can buff out the smaller scratches. Since you are planning on replacing the glass, you are only out the cost of some brasso (unless you already have some laying around) and some elbow grease if it doesn't work.

You are lucky you can get replacement glass. On my cocktail like that the glass is curved in a slight arch, which of course would make it cost $900 to just get one of them made.

I wouldn't say that I'm lucky, as much as you are unlucky. ;) Truth be told, every cocktail glass I've seen in person has been replaceable. Yours would be the only curved one I've seen! (actually, I'm not even sure I've seen yours, just saw you mention it)
Would it be possible to retrofit a flat glass onto yours? From what I remember from your pics, it looked possible.
After getting this thing reassembled and in my gameroom, it is painfully obvious that I need new glass. I'll have to order it next week, it should make a huge difference.
