I'm going to fix the dings do some quick touch ups, clean the inside and service the monitor... thats it. 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.... besides I want to play the darn thing!

This statement is quite funny! ;D

But seriously...let's talk. Level42 has all but forced me to upgrade to a monitor without a burn in spot in the middle ;D

Yeah I know right? This darn game is my Grail so I can't just let it be... I want it to be the best it can, plus I'm AR so I should know better.
"My name is Jim and I'm an arcade machine restoraholic."
Just for the record, the smallest restore job I ever did was my Asteroids all I did was put new buttons and cones and coin entry/reject buttons in it. (sounds like a typical restoraholic doesn't it?)

I'm going to be a bit selfish with this one...hate to be a ---meecrob--- but I'm thiking my next project is going to be a Tempest and I would like to hang on to the WG for a little bit. However, if I can't get anything to materialize, I will offer it to you first before I ever put it up publicly...and I mean that sincerely.
:cheers:

Not a problem. I would keep it as a spare myself.
