Turtle power!!! A TMNT restore.

Hey Guys,
I've been super busy, but I promise I'll fix my photo links this weekend! I've managed to finish the cp, I'll also shoot some photos of that too-- turned out super nice from the original. I've been super busy over this summer and I kinda forgot about my TMNT/this thread :( I did manage to pick up some more cabs, a nintendo vs., a phoenix, and a FREE battlezone (currently, this is my restoration priority).

Looks to be in very good condition. I love the X-shape cab.....taking loads of space though....

While I've yet to update my links or finish shooting photos of the completed cp, I did manage to pick up some NOS art off of ebay!

you can only imagine how relieved I am that I found this, seems like the only other option was the reproductions from mamemarquees for $180.00
Cold weather is coming and I don't have time to prep the cabinet like it needs, so this will safely lay flat for another few months.

Nice ebay snag.. I'm currently restoring a TMNT as well. We've spoke in private messages about our situations. I just got the joysticks myself. What a pain finding those. I recently applied a new CPO. I also got new plexi for protecting the cpo. I'll be cutting that soon. I reprinted the arrow stickers that go on the coin door. Haven't applied yet though. Will need to repaint the door first. My side art is ok, could use replacement but I haven't found any yet. (haven't been looking and I'm not paying 180.00 bucks for it as you understand)
Keep up the good work.. Mine is going to be on hold till probably spring now.. Take care.

the seller has multiple copies of TMNT art..I don't know how many he has, but I did receive a damaged piece and he replaced it without hesitation...that piece came damaged, and well, third times a charm.
