Spyridon:
Reassembly continues...



...and the best advice I can give anyone that is doing a complete restore is
1. Bag and Tag all the parts into individual bags
2. Take lots of pictures before you disassemble
Level42:
Yep completely agreed on the bags and pictures.

Great work, I really should look into a spray-gun etc.
Spyridon:
Boy there are a lot of wires in this game.  Today I finished putting all the wires back in place.

The on/off switch had been bypassed by the previous owner (not sure why) so I hooked that back up.


Here are all of the wires hooked back up in the base of the cab (nice and clean compared to what it looked like before I started)


Stapled the serial number tags and warning tag back in place


Back back doors didn't have working locks and were just screwed into place.  I added new locks:


Picked up a set of 3 keyed alike locks from Bob Roberts.  Worked out perfect as I needed one long and two short ones.  Now one key will open both of the back doors as well as the coin door.

Next I put the monitor back in:


Finally, the marquee, bezel, and control panel are put into place:


All that's left is side art and t-molding.  Also need to fire it up and see if it works!

Man that looks minty...and it's not even done...lol. Great job Spyridon! Can't wait to see the end result with the game screen on.
Spyridon:
Installed the t-molding today.



The bad news is that I fired it up and...nothing  :angry:

The lights in both marquees turn on but I don't get anything on the screen.  It does not play blind, but I do hear a slight beeping coming from the speakers.  I checked the voltages and they are good.  Not sure what the problem is at this point.
