--- Quote from: orion on October 15, 2009, 10:32:20 am ---I seem to remember Spyridon getting advice from Wondercade on painting techniques... they were obviously good pointers. --- End quote --- Gorf was my first paint job using a sprayer and Wundercade gave some great tips that I've been using ever since. That's the nice thing about posting these on these boards. I've gotten tons of good advice from lots of helpful people. Couldn't have done these without help. |

Installed all the guts today. Speaker and lights: Everything else: I used double sided foam tape to secure the new piece of tinted plexi to the inner bezel Once attached, I removed the remaining protective layer (almost) Everything in its place: Time to power him up and see what happens: It still works! Monitor picture is beautiful Remaining items to do: Check coin mech wireing as they aren't working Replace marquee with NOS one. Anyone have some recommendations on what to use to remove the protective covering without damaging the plastic? Install Six-pac kit to allow me to play Pac, Ms. Pac, and Pac Plus in fast and slow versions Install Midway logo plate on coin door (any news Peale?) Take final pictures! Rearrange games in gameroom Almost there... |

I haven't called the company back yet on the rivets. They weren't too forthcoming on the samples they /did/ send me, and since they were the wrong ones (thanks to some bad data) I'm allowing some time to pass before I ask for some others. |

I haven't checked on this thread in months. Just read it front to back, amazing work! One request however, replace those yellow (2700K) Compact Florescent lightbulbs with those of the daylight variety. They usually cost a couple bucks more but produce great white light and really bring out the colors. Seen here is regular "soft white" on the left and the superior "daylight" on the right: |
