Thanks for the link JamesSS  :-*

Are you going to try to find a replacement control panel overlay?

Well, I don't think so. I'll try to get the original overlay as good as I can  :P Maybe later I'll apply a repro, but I would like to finish all the cab first  ;)

Ok, so I'll finish the control panel overlay cleaning later, because I would like to start removing the rust first...

The tools of the day : my usual rust remover  :arrow:



I'm applying it only on that part  :arrow:





Take the opportunity to use the 'rust remover' bath for other parts... by example these screws   :wink: :



...now in the 'bath'  ;D  :arrow:


24 hours l8ter :



Let's use sandpaper to remove all the paint :



It's enough like that  :-*



The screws after "the bath' :



I want to keep the original overlay, so I need to protect it before painting the previous area.



...like this :



As usual... Primer first :



Done...



Two layers of black later ( 2 x 24 hours later by the way  ;):arrow:





It looks like new  :-* Ok, now I can start to clean the overlay...

I have never tried it myself but someone once recommended using toothpaste to cleanup and restore control panel overlays.

I know some guys uses toothpaste for cleaning the white Japanese cabinets (Astro, Naomi,...), so why not trying that on an overlay  :) Thanks for the tip, I'll try it on the next one  :-*

Very nice work so far.  I'm a big fan of Time Pilot, but I had never seen the Atari version before.

Thanks Spyridon... and welcome here by the way  :)

Yes, the Atari version is very uncommon. This one was releasd only for the European market, but maybe there are others specific versions for other European country ? The only other version I know is the US version by Centuri :



I use it to remove scratch form cd and ld too :)
ANY

For LD and CD ? I'm gonna try this, thanks Any  :-*

OK, time to clean up the original buttons.



Let's disassemble everything...



The bath (water + strong soap) for all plastic stuff   :arrow:



Better now  :-*  :arrow:



Bye bye the Arkanoid spinner... I'm looking for a leaf joystick.... but until I get one, I'll use this brand new joystick :



...now fixed on the panel :



Love it  :)



Panel is now ready  :)

 :-*

Today, let's fix the controls.

Remember, when I got that cab, the panel was hacked for a spinner in order to play Arkanoid. So I have to put back the correct wires of a 8 ways joystick.

Tools of the day :



Done :



IPAC, the best encoder (no, I'm not working for Ultimarc  ;D).



I can't wait...I've to test (did I say play ?) ...



Working fine  :) I love Time Pilot  :-*
