Hi Everyone,
In process of painting livingroom while im waiting for some new parts of the machine to arrive, so managed to take few pictures of front of cabinet controls/coin door etc. I had some furniture and things behind me so couldnt roll it all way out at the moment from closet where it currently resides to get more good pics for you all. Had a few other pics of the marquee area top of the cabinet but the autofocus on camera went nuts and wasnt worth posting. I will update in few days with more pics..Few here to look at anyways in meantime..
Being this is my first restoration i think it's a good starter for me as it really isnt too bad.
From the outside the entire cabinet assembly is pretty solid, where the only major restoration of the cabinet needed is filling in the sides of the game where there are some chunks of the cabinet chipped off resanding etc and applying new artwork. Inside looks good also. Recieved the SideArtwork in mail yesterday.
-Control Panel, Obviously need the original centipede controls..should arrive here anyday. Seller says all controls function well, but going to replace them with new Track Ball 1/2 player buttons etc. New CPO and Track Ball i already have.
-Monitor, While the monitor functions great currently with WrestleWar, there is some major overall burn in from when it was Centipede..but do not even notice really when playing. This will be something I replace down the road as i will need to have had found a new one first that im going to replace it with and continue my research on installing them so i do not kill myself in the process lmao
- T-molding will be replaced
-Coin mechanism/door functions well, Some new locks needed obviously.The entire Coin door area in good shape visually so i should just be able to give it a good prime/paint. Not sure if the bulbs are blown On the coin mechanisms i have not ran the machine in years, so im going to assume they are and replace them as well.
-Other remaining things needed.. Repainting metal trim, Marquee, Monitor Glass/Bezel replacement etc. Again, my first restore so i probably be going at snails pace, but it will be done right the first time as they say..
