Here's the front and rear after it was stripped of everything except the monitor. Next step it to scrub everything down and bleach out the interior to make it sanitary before bringing it home.

Here's the butchered control panel and another shot after the first coat of paint stripper.
gameguy1957:
The original paper bezel shroud for the monitor was used on the Ring King, but they attached the instruction stickers to it. I couldn't figure out a way to remove them without damaging the paper, so I just painted over it.
The paint is actually a semi-gloss, but looks glossy since it's still wet. Turned out nice when it dried. You can't see the instruction stickers when it's in the gameroom.

Here's the front after installing all of of the original boards and wiring into the machine. I didn't have a spare G07 chassis for the monitor, so I swapped a 4600 that was working into it.
I also installed a new lamp, starter, and fixed the cobbled wiring for the lamp fixture.
The wiring harness for the control panel was completely replaced by the Ring King kit, so I have to build one from scratch.

Before installing the control panel I needed to fix the busted spot on the front side of the cabinet. I think someone had kicked it in, ruining the original door. The door that is in it is a Wico instead of an Atari.
