No problem with L-brackets - already tested with my other cab - and are very strong, for me better than glue

I dunno because the backdoor was missing on my cab, but it would say it should be similar to other Namco/midway cabs : staples

.... let's continue with the primer section:


the cab before the primer - dismantled




the rear door:



and the other pieces:



 

[DarthNuno]

BLUESKY model 89€  (Carrefour supermarket here in Italy )

I know very well this model  It's the best one for our job    I've used it for my Pac Man & Space Ace  But I cannot find it  brand new  in my local Carrefour shop anymore  I still have one in the box in my attic 
An advice : I suggest you to buy now at least two or three Bluesky tv before there won't be available... 89 is very very very ship (I think I paid 125€ in Belgium)

You're doing a great job on this project, congratulation Screen

Ok let's go .......... with black satin paint  2 hands are enough   





and with the CP arts:





I read around that it is better to use the hairdryer for the curve 

Perfect !!
