My First Restoration - Galaga!
SirPeale:
I'm less concerned with repro plates and more concerned with the "snaps" that hold them in place. They're not rivets. No one has been able to come up with them.
Level42:
Indeed a PITA. I do suggest going with ThisOldGame's plates though, they're much closer to the original than the one's from AS.
I carefully drilled off the back of those "rivets" and saved the "tops". This way I was able to glue them back on. Not 100% right, but it looks OK.

Thanks for the link, Spyridon. I had the same thought as Peale with regards to the "snaps". That's a good suggestion, Level42. I'll probably try that.
Sandblasting was pretty fun - you should try it, Mauzy. I've never done it before. Next time I'll stretch my hand out to prevent the cramping. The machine I used was set up to use glass beads. So I guess theoretically I glass blasted the door. Here are some pics:
Spyridon:
Hey, nice blasting cabinet. Looks much better than my setup.
erlsjj:
I wish I had my own sandblaster cabinet. The one I used was at my friend's airplane parts company. Pretty heavy duty.
