No new pics yet. Polished the carriage bolts, installed the 4 on the sides and the monitor brackets, installed the coin door and front panel. That's about it for last night.
Thanks!! No Addams, you must be seeing the topper on the Whitewater pin.
To get the sideart straight I just used a tape measure. Aligned it with the back edge, centered it front-back using the middle of the sloping front edge, and dropped it 2.75" (I think) from the top. I found a lot of differing placements of the sideart (and it was missing on my particular game with no fading to help me determine where it used to be, other than some purple remmants stuck under the bolts on the left side) so I didn't feel placement was critical. I basically put it where I thought it looked good, and did it the same on both sides.

Updated pic. Mostly working on electronics right now. Cosmetics are almost finished.

Nice. I think your side art positioning looks great. I love how minty this is looking. Keep up the good work. :cheers:

Got the spare WG monitor working and mounted in the cabinet, and adjusted to look pretty good! Need to clean up the wiring for that. To use the Wells Gardner standard cga monitor, I had to invert the video signal using the inverter PCB off of the original Sanyo. Had to make a harness to make this work, and also had to run 12vdc from the switching power supply to the inverter PCB. Also had to add a regular iso trans for the WG and run it from the 110V power distribution block. (There might have been a way to use the original Nintendo iso trans but I wasn't sure how).

Wade:
Most of the wiring is done. Need to paint/install coin mechs, speaker, and control panel. Almost there!
