I am curious to know how you plan on doing the side art. It seems that it is not paint, but some kind of vinyl or something?
I have seen the sticker's for side art and I think they look horrible.
If you do pull the board again go ahead and slap a pause switch on that bad boy. You can find a small enough switch at Radio Shack that will fit thread the back right bolt hole. It is awesome for when the phone rings or something.
Also the audio problem like CM said sounds like the caps need to be replace *channelmanic should have that kit also*.
Thanks for the pictures of the light mods. I was thinking of doing the same thing, but didn't know how it would turn out.

this looks horrible?

Ya my light mod turned out exactly like I wanted it. Only thing I could have done better I think would have been to wire the lights directly to the cabinet. I just use a power bar beside the machine to turn everything on.
I will be painting mine next summer, the decals are kinda plain nothing exciting. But I will be redoing those as well anyways to get it back to new. It does seem like there's vinyl or something on it. Seems like Malenko just used spray paint on his and it looks good. Did you have to sand first Malenko??
I definately have some sound issues. What exactly does this kit involve doing? I can live with the sound if it's too dificult :P Sometimes the sound volume is low..and then it goes to normal..doesn't get overly loud at all though, but plenty loud enough.
spanks_4:
No Malenko that looks awesome. I was talking about the ones that have the bright red vinyl under the letters is horrible.
Doing the sound is just like doing a cap kit to a monitor. PM Channelmanic and he should be able to explain it a little better than I can.
channelmaniac:
Yeah, sound fluctuations are typcial of a failing cap in the audio section on the MVS. The cap kit is just like replacing caps on a monitor except that the 100uf and 22uf caps have some heavy ground traces and need quite a bit of heat to remove.
It's not too hard if you have a decent soldering and desoldering station - perferably one that is temperature controlled.
Hey - thanks for the pr0ps guys!
Btw: Which 4 slot is it? The MV4 or the MV4F? They take different cap kits. I have the 4F cap kits but am out of the 4. It wouldn't be too hard to put a kit together for you though if you need that one.
