Nice work so far. If you want to get a new centering grommet for your joystick you can get one from divemaster. The one from the Happ Heavy Duty 8-Way Trigger Joystick fits the Midway Tron/Xenephobe/Gorf type sticks. I think it was like $17 when I ordered one to see if it would fit my Tron stick. It bolts right in. Part # 96-4550-01 I had my Coin door sand blasted and powder coated with what was called wrinkle finish but it doesn't look like wrinkles. Just a rough texture. While not 100% authentic I think it looks nice. I'll post a pic if anyone wants to see it. Encryptor |

The finishes are duplicated on the lid of the spray can for reference. I just sandblasted my Ms. Pac coin door and the Rustoleum Hammered Finish looks closer to the original than the Rustoleum Textured finish did. Did you check out the Hammered finish Peale? |
