ZORK2:
Next I had to figure out how to get the side art lined up. I'm proud of figuring this out, as I saw it no where on any of the Youtube vids. I turned off the lights in the garage, and opened the door. This gave me a nice "backlight" to see excactly where the decal needed to be placed. I held it up to the cab, positioned it, and blue-taped it into place. I had a horizontal line drawn into place with my speed square so I knew when it was cloase level. I then used the dry method I saw on youtube to put into place. It turned out AWESOME!! The entire process cutting and everthing took me about 2? hours per side.....
ZORK2:
I used a couple brand new exacto-knives, to cut it to fit the cab once it was stuck on the sides
ZORK2:
Not too bad for not having a CLUE! ;D
& the other side.....
ZORK2:
I was pretty happy the way it turned out. I took my time and it paid off. I sat there and just staired at it for a while! :) OH, and had a beer.
The next thing was to swap out the monitor board that came in the mail today. I had some "issues". (see the monitor forum under WG-25K7191 neck board if you are curious) Thanks to the guys there on that forum that are way smarter than me AND have seen all these types of problems before! Without these guys and this website, a newbie like me would have NEVER have even attemted a restore like this!!
THANKS TO ALL!
Anyway here is the new board going in. After some trouble, the machine is up and running. Got the new marquee put in and things looks good to this point!! More updates as more of my "stuff" comes in, and I get a chance to work on it.
Hope everyone has enjoyed this as much as I have!!
Zork2 OUT!

First off very nice work, looks to be coming along nicely, not sure why someone painted the cabinet art black, kind of weird.
Anyway, can you shed some light on the buttons that are in the coin return slots on the front? Never seen that before.
