Fixing a broken 'shaved' corner.
« on: November 06, 2008, 09:56:25 am »
I got a NeoGeo MVS 2 slot cab earlier this week and it's in decent shape, though it needs some TLC.  There's basic stuff I'll need to restore like a paint job, cp overlay, etc but what concerns me is this corner:

How would I go about repairing this corner? I'm not very skilled in woodworking so I'm trying to get some ideas on how to fix this without having to replace an entire side, if it's even possible.  As an example 'cut the corner off completely and form a new one from bondo and potato chips' or something like that.

Thanks for any help.

Do a forum search on Bondo.  You'll find more info than you could possibly use on how to make that repair.   :cheers:
