Punch Out Restoration Project Started

Quick Update..... I just reassembled the control panel part of the cabinet. Here are pictures of the sides of the cabinet.
I primered the cabinet so I can see where defects in the plywood are more easily.
This was the really f*cked up side, starting to look better :)
Here is the reassembled part of the cabinet where the control panel sits.
I drenched this part of the cabinet with a lot of wood hardener, before I begin to apply more wood bondo.
So there it is....so far... I am continually bondoing and sanding, sanding and bondoing. I figure that I am still waiting for my Punch-Out!! pcb to come back repaired, so I may as well keep patching every afternoon and sanding every morning.
Here is a nice little tidbit for you.... My aunt the woman who is pictured applying the control panel overlay. Yah... she made me a custom fit control panel protector, out of this ultra thin anti scratch material. This should protect the artwork for years to come. Yeah.. I know.. its friggin sweet :)
Spyridon:
The control panel protector is a pretty neat add on, but I don't think I'd add it for a machine that will be used in the home. If it was on route I could see it, but for the casual use this machine will get, that overlay should last a long time. Plus I don't like the shinny look it gets.

Do you know what exactly that material over your CPO is? I would like to get some for my projects. Thanks
xtommyboy22x:
I will find out what material it is today and write back later.

The material over the cpo is .020 acrylic. Here is a site I found that sells the stuff.
