Level42:
Yeah, yeah progress is slow. I just have to spend a lot of time on a study lately and also working on some friend's machines.
Anyway did a bit of fixing up the little coindoor and the big coindoor frame.
The bigone, I only cleaned it and put a single layer of black paint on it. It was nearly 100% ok, just some scrubs and things.
The little one had "rust" spots (although it didn't look like rust under it at all". So that one got the full treatment of sanding, primering, and a couple of layers of black. I guess I need to buy a bit more expensive paint next time....
Slapped a new lock in it......and that's it. It actually looks a lot better than on that last pic, the flash is spoiling it. Maybe not perfect, but a lot better than what it was and I'm happy with it.
The big coindoor will be pictured when I've re-installed the mechs etc.
I've decided not to try to remove the scratches from the stainless steel door. I guess I will screw it up more than it is now. I may put that Atari sticker on the spot that "needs" it. This will take away the eye from the scratches ;)
When the big coindoor is ready I only still have to clean the lower sides and it will be 100% done ! That will be my first completely finished restoration, as the Galaxian is still needing the bottom kick-plate art to be fixed....
Level42:
She is ready !
It's been quite a while, but I "finished" the restoration today.
Here are the last pics:
However hard it will be, she will switch places with the Puckman that is in storage in my shed now. I need to do a "quick" job this time. My son is urging me to start on the Mario Bros. for obvious reasons. But I'm still not sure. Mario or DK ?
(In all honesty, I still have to do the lower parts of the sides, but I figured it would be better to do those when she comes out of storage again....)
I've got a monitor and 48in1 plus Jamma harness ready for the Puckman....
