Crystal Castles restoration - * TRADED *
dirt:
i have a crystal castles "kit" if anyone is interested. the kit consists of:
complete uncut wire harness
audio board
working pcb
marqee
control panel w/trackball
all of this came out of my dig dug cabinet so the cp will fit a dig dug. i dont know if it will fit a dedicated machine.

You will probably find that 90 percent of the flaws in your artwork are missing black.

Unfortunately, the biggest cosmetic problems on this one are:
1. Front art has faded reds. All the gems are now almost white. (Strangely, bentley's hat is still perfect red!)
2. The white on the sides has yellowed. Can anything be done about that?
Other than that, I already ordered repro marquee, speaker overlay, and CP overlay from ArcadeRenovations.
paigeoliver:
The white might clean back up to be white again, often yellowing is actual nicotine staining.
RayB:
What would you wash the sides with? Is a brush too abrasive? Should i use only water, or is soap ok?
