[Restauration] Crazy Kong fase 2

[Etienne MacGyver]

Thanks alot!, nice to know ..  

So we can assume almost for sure if a zacc has the AVG Logo, that it was one for the german market.

Does the space pirate that you picked up has this ?

Does the space pirate that you picked up has this ?

no idea, i dropped it off and that's it. i'll have to go over to the storage anyway today, so if i don't forget it, i'm going to check it out!

Sweet restoration! I just read thru both threads and looked at all the pics and am amazed at the attention to detail you put in!

And the time has come to put my fresh new created CPO on the cabinet.

I picked up the CP at my mothers place, and took it apart.
I also bought a new spring for the joystick because the previous fix was making the movement to sturdy.
Now it plays alot more comfortable, its 100% beter than before, but it still is an uncomfortable stick, but at least its the original stick  

10 minutes and € 0,69 for the spring later, its time to remove the old temporary plexi and paper :




A new panel deserves new bolts..
I have looked all over the world for M4 carriage bolts, and i could not find them, well at least not in the amount that i needed them, only in 500 Kg or more..
Then i got the tip from Andre to contact Luigi, and he still had some  





Big Thanks for that Luigi !!!
But....

The head is bigger than the originals  




The square part is also a bit larger, but that is not a problem..
so i decided to keep those for the next project and use the old bolts again..




Temp CP removed..




Does anybody need a temp CP ?  




And there it is on the panel..




Looks very nice if you ask me..  




I put it on top of the closet in the living room as decoration  




But ofcourse that was crossing the W.A.F.  
So i took it for a ride and bring it back to the cabinet..
Don't forget your seatbelt !  




And back in the cabinet...




Looks like i am ready for Eurocade !

that looks really really nice on the cabinet, etienne, BUT doesn't the panel itself also need a makeover? my "anal eyes" spot damages to the wood ...

I can see only the last pic.

@Ully: yes indeed, but i have trouble finding the brown and glossy finish in the paintshop..
i do however have another wooden piece, and perhaps that is abit better than this..

It also is the idea to transplant everything in my 2e zacc, because that T moulding is in better shape than this.

Ideas ideas ideas, the thing i miss is time  

maybe one day in the future i will do that, but for now this is the best i can do.

@Bela:
hmm strange...

Anyone else having this problem ?

[Belike]

Now it's ok and looks great, hope to play a few rounds on it at Eurocade.

How you just need to find a cab with CK side art and transfer all the parts over
Lovely job,
Paul.

[Etienne MacGyver]

Thanks paul,
 
Yeah that would be the best, but remember, i am already working on the sidearts
