Turtle power!!! A TMNT restore.

Mine does not have plexi

PCB came in the mail today, along with all of the Bob Roberts stuff I ordered the other day!
didn't realize the buttons didn't come with pal nuts..doh! If anyone has 8 for sale, I'd love to buy em. I can imagine these would be cheap to ship.
I had to modify the Chinese knock-off leafs for use in the NOS joystick. For one thing, they are like 2mm off in height and needed to be sanded down along the bottom edges...also, because I don't have the white plastic switches that touch the actuator, I had to add in a thin shim (about a 1/8 of an inch thick) to firmly seat the leaf in place. Overall its going to work out okay. Not the best, but I honestly don't think I'll be able to tell. I'll post a pic tomorrow.
I'm heading to the hospital right now..chest is killing me! It's not a heart problem, more of a dull respiratory pain. I actually had to leave work early because the simplest task was making me sweat. I haven't been using a respirator when sanding the mirwax, but I have been wearing a 3m face mask rated to stop TB. If fact, this pain started to occur even before :P

some epic sanding going in preparation for 2-part wood filler.

Something about the intro just gives me goosebumps! (total nerd moment)
