Missile Command Restoration

<< < (2/9) > >>

Wade:
The "finished" pics I'll attach later today.



Here is what went into this restoration:

* Complete disassembly and cleaning (even the cabinet inside was hosed out and scrubbed)

* Dishwashing of all boards and harnesses, and just about anything that could fit

* Repaired and repainted coin door (could still use a nicer one)

* Repaired black cabinet areas on front (chips, holes, etc.) with bondo and repainted all black areas so they look new

* Refinished all carriage bolt heads

* Refinished metal marquee bars

* Cut new plywood bottom

* Cut new MDF rear-lower cabinet back (the part where the power cable and power switch are) because the original was in sad condition

* New flourescent bulb & starter

* New sideart

* New T-Molding

* New cone buttons

* New Control Panel overlay

* New Trackball rollers

* New power cord

* Original trackball polished


I damaged some of the sideart when moving it downstairs though!

Zakk:
Looking forward to updated pics!  Too bad about the sideart, but it still must be much better than the 'before' pics, so don't stress it too much :)

Wade:
First pic: Cleaned monitor chassis

Second pic: Cleaned inside (new bottom and lower back panel, boards and harnesses dishwashed)

Wade:
First pic: Finished (still needs a bezel and new tinted plexi) right side

Second pic: Finished left side

Wade:
First pic: coin door, new CP, new buttons, etc.

Second pic: The lower back corner I damaged while moving it. :( It isn't very visible from this angle.  It is pretty minor but it still stinks.
