awesome.

when friends and family come round, do you tell them that "i made this", in that kid's voice at the end of each episode of the x-files?  :lol:

Absolutely fantastic!  I appreciate your attention to detail.  Very, very nice.

I have a couple of questions if you have time, and don't mind (of course):

1. What kind of sander did you use on the coin door?  I have a metal control panel that I'd like to restore, and wasn't sure how to "sand" it down, remove the paint, etc.

2. To follow up on that, what kind of primer and paint did you use on the coin door?  The black paint looks like it has texture.

3. To clean the bolts, etc for the coin door, what liquid did you use?  Did it remove all of the rust, etc?

I appreciate your time - and again, great job!

somehow this question sounds familiar - black paint with texture, haven't i heard that before?  ;) ;) ;)

Thanks Steve for your compliments  :-* :-*

1. see the pic:



2. Normal primer for metal, and the black is normal 'black opaque spray paint'

3. Yes, it's a rust remove and it works great  :spaceace:

So guys,

after 3 days of hard play I decided to change the buttons (Mikesarcade repro) with the original ones.

The repro have a bad response (too much pressure on the button)  :evil: :-\ so it's time to clean the old and certainly better original buttons  :-* :-*:

buttons disassembled (some cigarettes burning one blue one but is not a problem):



bath:





reassembled:



in position .... works perfectly  :-* :-*  and after 28 years  8) ;D

great response, even with a soft touch  :-* :wink:



It's time to make a new personal record  :spaceace: :spaceace:
