I got some when I restored my Gorf, and one side does not stick that well so will probably have to buy another set and re-apply.. but cannot find wehre the heck I got it from.. btw, nice job! --- End quote --- Side art is available at ArcadeOverlays. It's not the correct shade of blue, but the only thing available. |

It's in the game room and looks good. Of course, it makes some of my other games look bad so I'll have to get them all cleaned up at some time. |

After taking lots of pictures to make sure I can get everything back together, I started removing the parts from the board The board the transformer and fuses were connected to was hand washed. There were too many wires soldered onto the transformer to remove and put into the dish washer, so I hand cleaned everything with water and a little bit of dish detergent. Looks much much better (you can actually see the colors of the wires now) The wire harness and cage go into the dishwasher. No detergent, just the water. I considered putting the PCB's in as well, but I didn't want to go through the trouble of removing the socketed chips. when it comes out, you can actually see the circuit board in the bottom of the cage. It was still a little wet in this picture, but I took a hair dryer to it to make sure it was completely dry --- End quote --- I can't tell you how nice it is to have your thread to go by!!! I'm beginning my Gorf restore and I'm going to start pulling the wire harness, power supply, PCB, etc out tonight. When you say you "...hand cleaned everything with water and a little bit of dish detergent." You literally scrubbed these parts with water and soap? Seems like that would kill it, everything I've ever known about electronic equipment says NO WATER! =) |
