Punch-Out!! restoration (Complete!!) - new bezel!
« on: August 24, 2008, 10:03:51 pm »
Started working on restoring my Punch-Out!!. 

The game is in working condition, but will undergo the following treatment:

Cap both monitors (bad foldover on the top of the bottom monitor)
New side art (none on it currently)
New CPO
Paint or laminate the sides (if I can find the correct formica, I'll go that route otherwise I'll paint)
Remove (or replace) scratches in the bezel
Replace black t-molding with white t-molding
Remove batteries from board

Here is what I started with...

First step was to work on the control panel.

Before and After


And now the details:

The old overlay pulled off without too much trouble

I used Citristrip to take off the residual adhesive and then sandpaper to remove the rust spots.


After removing the rust spots, I hit it with a coat of metal primer

CPO came from Quarter Arcade


I used a dremel to shine up the carrige bolts and cleaned the buttons with some dish detergent and water

Next up was to remove the monitors, speakers, marquee, etc to get it ready for painting.  I'm going to check on some options for formica tomorrow, but if I don't find a good option, I'll go with paint.

Moved the game into the garage today for painting.  I checked a few stores and they didn't have black formica in stock, so I'm going to go with paint.

Used bondo to fill in some holes:

When you get to the paint, could you do some really close shots?  One possibly with a reflection of something basically touching the cabinet?

I got some samples of the laminate and for my PO, polished finish is the correct texture, but may be a bit too reflective.

Looking good so far, this is really motivating me to finish mine.

Cab masked off and ready for painting:


I didn't go with a primer coat on this one based on some recommendations from someone who has repainted a lot of Nintendo cabs.  Here is the first coat of black paint. 





Oil based paint is a pain to clean up, but it sure does look good when dry.

HVLP sprayer I assume or did you roll it?  What brand paint and sheen did you end up choosing?

Yes, I used a HVLP sprayer.  I don't think I can go back to rollers after using this.

I used Rustoleum satin black paint.

I used some 220 grit sandpaper to smooth out the surface then applied a second coat of black paint.




I'll look at it tomorrow when it is dry and determine if it needs a third or if it is ready to go.  If it needs a third coat, I'll use some 600 grit sandpaper prior to the paint going on.

Okay, today I put on the third and final coat of paint.  I used 600 grit sandpaper prior to applying the paint.  This worked really well and I ended up with a beautiful finish.  I'm very happy with the results.  Clean up is a pain with oil based paints, but I can't argue with the nice results you get.





And to cut down on the number of clean ups, I have been doing a two for one special...

Nice looking paint job. I've always shied away from oil paints and have never used them through an HVLP sprayer. Did you use the same process as with the GORF blue, but instead used acetone to thin?

And finally, looking at the results on both cabs, can you compare and contrast how you think the oil paint out performs, result-wise.....the water-based paints? Thanks.

Yes, same process but acetone instead of water to thin.  Also, it took a lot less to thin it out than the latex paint, so you aren't diluting the color as much.

The oil paint seems to go on smoother than the water based paints.  It seems easier to get a perfectly smooth result.  That being said, the results with the latex paint was still very good.  The Rustoleum black paint seems to be a very good choice for black cabs and I would recommend going with it, however, I think for any other color I would still probably go with a latex paint because it is just so much easier to work with.

Nice.  You won't be dissapointed.  And like WunderCade said above, definitely look into sandblasting.  (see my Gorf thread for details on the cabinet)

I will need a good and compact sandblasting box though....don't have too much space for it :S

That figures, PA is like Grand Central Station for Punch-Out machines.

Do you have a closer picture of the underside of your KO button? It looks different than what I am used to seeing, but that may be an illusion from the low resolution picture.

Nice job so far BTW; the paint and CPO look great.

Probably just looks different from the photo.  I'll take a close up and post it.

Moved the game out of the garage and into the basement/gameroom.  Started to reassemble the parts.

Put the speakers back in place

Nintendo serial number plate back on the back

Grills back in place as well


I polished the marquee with Novus #1 and then put it back on the cab

I took the coin door apart in preparation for painting it.


On one of the coin reject buttons I'm missing the cover piece (middle item in picture below)

Anyone know where to get replacements for these?

Okay, thanks.

Yeah, that's normal. The smaller picture made it look different, and I wondered if a new version of the KO button had been discovered.

It game out pretty nice.  It doesn't have that baked on hardened look that the original had, but I like it.  I'll try and take a close up pic of the paint.

I used a drill with a wire wheel on it to strip the paint and rust off of the coin door.  It's actually a faster process than when I used the sandblaster on the Gorf coin door.  I was really surprised on how easy it was to strip down.

I will need a good and compact sandblasting box though....don't have too much space for it :S


Adapt a plastic storage bin... then when you're not using it you can store stuff in it.  Double usage saves space.

Looks good, ace.

Looking forward to the finished product.

Hey Jow.  So it took a Punch-Out!! restore to bring you over here.  Welcome!


Thank you, good sir.  It seems we are lacking in the resto thread dept "over there".  I have been enjoying this one, and all the other one's on this board.  My Punch-Out is currently not working, but once she's up and running, I too will resto it.  Im def taking notes.

Do the cab restore now before you get it working.  Once you get it working, you know you won't want to stop playing.

Painted the coin door using Rustoleum Textured black paint

Here is a shot while still wet:

And when dry:

I'm really happy  with the way it turned out.

I also used a dremel with a wire wheel attachment to shine up the coin return cover.
Here you can see the difference between the one I worked on (left) and the untouched one (right):

I also polished them when complete.  Here are both of the finished products:

Coin door installed back into the cab:


I also added a lock to the back of the cab:


Since I already had two locks on the front coin doors that used the same key, I wanted the back door lock to also use the same key to open it.  I followed the tutorial over at Arcade Restoration Workshop on how to key all the locks to same.  I used an old lock I removed from a Robotron and I only needed to remove one tumbler to make it work


To end the weekend, I installed the white t-molding.  Sure makes a big difference.

It's cap kit time.  I was surprised to see that this game actually had two different monitors in it.  The bottom monitor is a Sanyo 20EZ

And the top monitor is a Sharp XM-2001


I purchased the cap kit's from Bob Roberts.  Here are the completed monitors waiting to go back into the cab.  Need to put the side art on first:


I also cleaned up the interior bezels as they were covered in dust.

Hehe ... one of each eh ?
Those are about the only two monitors you'll find in an original Nintendo cab.

They both look exceptionally clean as well.  :cheers:

Verify that the caps in the kit are what the paper he includes says.  I've gotten wrong caps in several kits from him.  Also check against the cap you're taking out that the paper was right to begin with - the paper is usually right but the set of caps in the bag doesn't always match.

Put the side are on today.  I used the dry method as follows:

Line up the artwork in the correct spot and use some masking tape to hold it in place


Next, I peelled back the top two inches of the backing and stuck the art in place.  Using a flat surfaced device (a credit card will work), I pushed down to make sure the art was stuck in place with no air bubbles.  I did this from side to side as I slowly pulled the backing off.


Once the backing was completely removed, I went over it again making sure it was down and had no air bullbles.


Then the removal of the protective covering



Repeat for side 2:


I used an exacto knife to cut holes in the side art where the monitor carrige bolts had to go.  I then put the monitor brackets back in place.

And the bezel plexi and control panel


While I was hooking up the monitor, I also removed the batteries from the board.  I was going to replace these with an off board solution, but from what I've herad, these batteries are only used for book keeping info.  I won't need this for home use so off they go

Fired it up to play a game....Crap!

Lower monitor has just a horizontal line through it.  Looks like my cap kit was unsuccessful!



Any suggestions on what to look at to fix this?

The Sanyo 20ez has a test switch in the middle of the PCB.  When this switch is on you get a horizontal line.  I'd try that switch first.


Also, I'm pretty sure that the batteries are for High Scores.  You may be thinking of the Vs. Games which are for book keeping.

That's correct. SPO only saves the top 20 scores and the remaining 30 scores reset to default each time the machine is started. PO saves all 50 scores.

Double check the orientation of all of the caps you installed.  Then reflow the solder joints and reflow pretty much any joints you feel like reflowing.  When you handle the chassis roughly enough to do a cap kit it's pretty common to crack a couple of ancient solder joints in the process.  No need to panic just yet - this is not a big deal yet.  Pay particular attention to the joints on any pots on the board - reflow those no matter what they look like.  Those crack most often.

Good tips.  I'll follow that advice and let everyone know how I make out.

Okay, finally got a chance to pull the monitor back out and look at it.  I verified that all of the caps are installed with the correct orientation.  What should I be looking for to determine if I have any cold solder joints?

Update on this.  I sent the monitor board out for repair.  Couldn't figure it out on my own.  As soon as I get it back, I'll be able to finish this one up.

Could you post what the problem was when you get the chassis back?

Got a nice package in the mail the other day:


Looks like lots of bad traces was the problem.  It was working before my cap kit, so probably my inexperience with soldering caused it.  Here is what it looks like now...


Put the chasis back together and placed the monitor back into its rightful spot


Fired her up and..............


The picture looks great!  Makes my top monitor look washed out a bit.  I'll have to adjust it and see if I can get it better.

Here it is...the finished product!

« Reply #65 on: June 09, 2009, 08:31:23 pm »
The problem with the normal freeplay settings on Punch-Out!! is that once enabled, the screen sits on the click start button.  No attract mode.  Not the ideal situation.  Thanks to a KLOV user, we can now have freeplay enabled with attract mode.  It just requires replacing two roms.

8K and 8L need to be replaced:

with the new roms:




Works great.  Just hit the KO button to go to the start screen

Here is a link to the freeplay hack

Re: Punch-Out!! restoration (Complete!!) - new bezel!
« Reply #66 on: July 10, 2009, 03:13:08 pm »
Chuck 777 over at KLOV worked with a local glass company to recreate the Punch-Out!! bezel.

I got mine in today and it looks great.

Comparison to original:

Bend was just about an exact match to the original (original on the left)


New bezel is slightly thicker (about 1/16th) then the orignal, but much heavier. Size is correct and the black border is perfect (original on the right)


The only real difference I see is around the bend. You can see in the picture above, that the distorted area on the new one is much wider than the old one. About 1 inch wide compared to a little under 1/2 inch.
 
Here is another look at it. The area in red is the distorted area:

Original:

New:


Hard to photograph well but in the end it really doesn't matter. That area is between the monitors so it doesn't impact the game play at all.
 

Overall recommendation - These are great! If you need a replacement, I think you will be very pleased. 

And the money shot:

Man that looks like a minty PO. Perhaps you can do a showcase shot like Phet does, the whole completed cab by itself - like you are shooting it for a flyer.

Anyways, I have a question. Do you clear coat the sides after you apply the new side art, or before, or both?

Thanks for the compliments.

My glass wasn't in bad shape, but had some deep scratches that wouldn't polish out.  The new bezel is really nice.
