I know that Spyridon has quoted this once already in this thread, but I couldn't resist...

There is no need to dissect the machine as it is in very good shape overall and I do not want to create extra work that is simply not necessary.

This is a great guide for what I'll have to do to mine. Lots of the same stuff.

Yes, excellent work, especially on that lower angled piece. I'd love to see what you do with a cab that is in bad shape!

I'll get you all the numbers on each piece as well.. I've them all hand drawn... when I get some time to put them down I'll post them... feel free to ask if you need anything specific in terms of dimensions.

... open mouth... insert foot ;)
I've to do the marquee next... I'm waiting on 1/4"x1/8" foam tape for that as well as the control panel. The foam tape is used along the edge of the marquee frame where the glass rests and along the inside edge of the control panel...
All of the harnesses are back in and when I fired it up and found that I had a vertical line on the display... so I removed the deflection board and found that it had a blown fuse... so the monitor works now :applaud: ... the screen is very jittery... I'll deal with that later.... good news is each color is there and no HV or deflection problems to deal with.
...as far as the PCB... it comes up alright-ish... the game play is boogered up, star field is not proper, second wave is fubar... sounds seem ok. Hardware diagnostics revealed a Matrix issue... I'll get to that next after all the cab work is done.
"I'm taking an awful risk Lord Vader.... this had better work."

Where did you get the foam tape? My Centipede had that on the back edge of the control panel
