I picked it up in Bloomington, Mn. Paid 25.00, drove 2hrs home and got caught in a thunderstorm.

Sneak peak of what is done so far..

That looks really nice Brian.  I originally wanted to find one of those size cabs but couldn't in my general area. 

Settled on a wall mounted 27" touchscreen monitor instead.   But I like the light show yours has.

Hey, thanks for the complement! Im have been working on it the last 2 days. Did some sanding and painting. Will post updated pictures later. Im still trying to figure out how to narrow the gap that is made from having a crt to a LCD.

Where is the gap?  Is it because the plastic bezel for the old crt is curved and the flat lcd doesn't fit right?

Yep, that would be the one.

It's too bad you can't find some kind of foam or rubber like weather stripping and fill the gaps underneath and then sandwich the new monitor in place.  Not sure how that would look. 

In a perfect world, that plastic would have been straight.

I tried doing that, it didnt look very good. They dont make a LCD upgrade for this jukebox. Thats why I got it so cheap.
