Title: Missile Command Cabinet Resto Update
Post by: vader on October 09, 2004, 03:37:08 pm

Well, the going has been slow since those other aggravating priorities in life have taken over.  Today I finally got to work on it some more.  Installed the top, plexi cover, marquee and other odds and in.  Of course the monitor , marquee and glass have to come back out to prime and paint.....

Isn't it annoying how stuff like jobs, school, and women get in the way of our hobbies?  :P

That yellow thing behind the cabs can be as important as video games, for  escaping the cruel realities of life!  ;)

Looking very good on the restoration!  Keep us updated on the continued progress.

Tim,
I was able to replace the vinyl on the front, top and back of my Missile Command with the Vinyl that parts express sells.  I was reading how Kelsey at OscarControls restored a Centipede cab with the same stuff and it was impressed with the results.  Needless to say I picked some up for myself and was very impressed on how exact of a match it was. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=260-018 (http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=260-018)
Thanks
