Title: Asteroids Restoration
Post by: bencao74 on May 14, 2012, 10:56:21 AM
Hey,

 I was starting an Asteroids Restauration some month ago. I got the Asteroids from cebulba. He had no time doing the restauration so he gave it in my hands.

The scan is done and on the way to etienne :) Nevertheless I`ll try fist those dirt rubbers recommended by Andre. 8)

I`m still looking for a bezel adhensive foil. The control panel will replaced with the KLOV reproduction run. The buttons needs some cleaning, too.

Have fun :)

Not that I care a lot, but the correct English word is restoration ;)

Nice work, Jochen. Do you have to give the game back after you are finished, or will you get some time for gameplay on ths great game?

The deal was that I keep it in change of another cab or some other stuff. So it will stay in my collection and I`m really looking forward to play it once it`s finished :)

Today I`ve scanned the missing sticker in Etienne sticker collection and gave it to him for vectorizing.
