Wade:
Here's a picture of the bottom of a CP.  I stripped all the goo and paint from both panels, cleaned and primed them.  Eventually I painted them black.  Then I realized I needed to paint the tops WHITE with exception of the sides.  This is because the white areas on the overlays are just a tiny bit transparent.  One of the CP's has black under it, and the white doesn't look quite as bright as the one with white paint under it.

Also stripped and repainted the hinges and carriage bolts, even though these parts are only seen when under the game.  The parts were off, might as well.

Wade:
Here's a pic with new formica on one side of the game.  Hopefully I'll be finishing up all the formica tonight, and reassembling it.  Yes, the panels are on the wrong side, I just put them on to make sure I had put the hinges back on correctly and to get an idea how it would look when finished.

Wade:
Here's a pic of one of the new CP's.  New buttons too!

You can see the screen burn on this tube.  We are having a party Friday so I'm rushing to finish this game.  I will want to swap the tube with a better one, and get new tempered top glass later.  No rush though, as the burn is very hard to see when the game is on, and the glass has no large scratches.  I just want to replace them because neither costs much and it will really help make this game shine.

goofy:
Can you measure those buttons for us? How far apart are they?

Cheers! Nice cabinet.

RayB:
Hi. How come your monitor has burn in of what appears to be the game "BluePrint"??
