Ms.Pac gets a facelift and more...FINISHED !!!!!!

[level42]

Well, there's plenty more to do actually (see list a couple. of posts back).

Yes this vinyl is definitely thicker than the sides. No idea why there is a difference. It was better regarding the coin door because the thinner stuff would have sagged much more I think...

Looks great!!

T-molding installed.

PCB and monitor back in.

Time for a power up to see if the Ms. is still OK....

Looks stunning Andre! Good work!
It seems like you cleaned the inside really thorough too.

[level42]

Thanks Barry !

Yes, that is the very start of all my restorations, getting the dust and dirt out of the inside. Nothing worse than having to work in/with a dirty cab. I even get out the full harness and wash it. I don't drop it in a bucket of water, but I use kitchen paper and glassex, spray glassex on the kitchen paper and then run it along every wire. Yes every individual wire. Where possible I move the ty-raps a little bit to get between every wire. I do the outside of the connectors the same way. Never let glasses (or compatible cheaper stuff) run into the connectors though...

After all the sanding etc. I had to redo the removal of dust of course...

Anyway, I think it looks great to have a clean inside and clean and "fresh colored" wire harness.

I have a little problem: The power switch on top is defective, will need a new one. I powered the machine up by bypassing the switch temporarily...

André, that cab looks awesome!

Do you already have a kickplate protector? I need one, maybe we can join our forces 

[level42]

Sorry already have one.....that is to say.......I should have one.

I should have:

CPO
upper marquee retainer
Kick plate protector
Multi 90 in 1 kit

........And I have no clue where I all left it. Sounds like I made some box to put this all in but where it is.....??

And I thought I was really organized this time. Had all screws neatly in one bucket and most parts stored in the cab itself.

[level42]

...short question: Want to reinstall the coin-bucket holder to the kick-plate.

I've got: carriagebolt-washer-nut. Do I put the washer behind the metal or between the wood and the metal ?

[level42]

Jezus, over a year since I worked on the grand'ol lady !!

But....some nice progress today !

I ordered brand new carriage bolts so these will be replaced still for the finishing touch...

[ckong]

Nice.

Can't wait to see this baby in full glory.

Any tips on what paint to use to touch up the glass bezel ? some of the blue parts are damaged.

I also need a new power switch, would really prefer the push down version as it is original.
