OK, now all the electronics part are done.
Let's repair the top glass... first of all, I remove it
...inside the glass :
Ok, as you can see on the next picture, the black paint on the border is in very bad state
...in fact, is back painted...look the back side :
Well, I try by myself to paint on the glass, but it's difficult : It need a special paint for glass which I can't find
Here is a try
:
So I go to a glass specialist with my Space Invaders glass, and ask him if can do the job...
He says ok but for at least 230€
...I say him "bye bye"
Before removing all the remaing paint, I take some notes :idea:
...start to remove the paint... easy
...almost naked ...
I use "acetone" to remove the rest...
Now it's 100% clean :
Ok, it's clean but what do do now
I still haven't a paint for glass... so...
:idea: :idea: :idea: I'll use black tint film :idea: :idea: :idea:
Yes, the same used in car tuning
I've found one with ony 6% of light transmission, opaque from outside, that exaclty what I need
Not an easy task...
Ok, for the first attempt, is good, but not perfect (still some small air bubble)
I'm sure I'll do the perfect job next time
... but it's ok for me like that now
I have to cut for placing original intruction sheets... at the same place than the original location (remember my notes). I use a pattern sheet :
...cut & remove...
...and fix the instruction sheets :
Et voila
:
ready to leave my house :
...and entering the Nuno's Lair
Now, the Space Invaders part II pictures
