Trying to restore a Zaccaria Crazy Kong Cabinet

[Etienne MacGyver]

Its a Boot, so who cares  
Its Working ! so leave them bastards out  

they do look much cooler than the original brown pills though  
maybe cut one of the legs off all and just solder them in for show

Woot postmen just arived and ques wat he brings


lets open the envelope first

The cab stickers
Who :shock:they realy look good.
So wat is left

The new control panel and the art.
I already took a little look at the control panel with the protective layer of a litle bit
And also that look verry good,it even has square holes in it for the bolts
I didnt dare to remove the protective layer a bit to see how the artworks look
But it is probly verry nice too
Now i just need to look up how that you need to aply the art on the cp.
dont wana destroy the sweet looking pieces
Thanx verry much etienne,for putting time and effort in to reproduce these pieces .
Now its time to look up how to aply the art on the cp
a verry happy ck owner here now

Glad it arrived fast and in good order !

You are one of the guys that where lucky to have a sticker that was on the testsheet that i could save, thats why you got 2  
Becarefull to remove the protective foil though when you are going to install them, they wrinkle fast if you dont look out.
its real aluminium remember, not a regular sticker..

The printer gave the advice to install the CPU with a waterspray, and then squeez the water out with a squeegie, or something simular.
i have the idea to use this :



Its stiff plastic, with a soft edge (ofcourse, otherwise you damage wallpaper... duh.. )  

you can cut off a small strip of the art and practice on a piece of plexi...  thats what i will do though..

the holes i would cutout later and also trimm the edge with this :



about the square holes, they are based on 4mm carriage bolts which are dificult to come by.
the originals are 4 mm though, so i dont know if you got those ?

Yea good point i better practice a bit before i start the real thing
And i need to get such a knive too to cut the holes out

I always did it that way wen putting large stickers on cars long time ago

I bought 2 boards a month ago,the guy also said it were falcon but it were boot boards.
He said i get 30 euros back from him but i didnt hear anything anymore
So if its a original falcon board and it plays 100% im verry intrested
