Thanks all. I mainly want to prevent scratching, mainly for the pieces I have on display, and not on cabinets. Plus, I need to clean up the fronts of many of them, and I'm concerned with how I'd protect the back while working on the front. I hadn't thought about it yellowing, which would...

Krylon triple thick on arcade marquee - how do I protect the front? I'm interested in applying krylon to some arcade marquees, in order to solidify them, and make sure they can withstand the harsh effects of time. That said, I've read a bit, and watched some videos, but I haven't seen anyone...

Is it okay to hijack this with my own search for NOS orange? I have a Mario Bros. cabinet, and I sadly noticed the repros I've seen are dramatically different than the ones on my cabinet, both in color and in shape. While my player 1 button still works, it has a little stickiness to it, once...

NOS mario widebody bezel - need advice for removing paper I recently received a mario widebody NOS bezel, but unfortunately, the paper is reluctant to come off on the paint side. I've heard that naphtha is a great solution for removing stubborn paper, and that it shouldn't harm the paint...but...

I've been trying to use modern replacements for this classic stick, and nothing comes close to the original...would love to use the real thing! Thank you.

That looks amazing. I was extremely lucky to find an original MB WB that was in outstanding shape, with under 4000 turns on the coin meter. A visible scratch on the left side art, but a minor issue considering how everything else looks. I think it's in the #001438-ish range. If I had the...

Well...I located the culprit for the pink-ish whites...pretty obvious, of course, but I was hesitant to just start twisting dials. I reduced the red-drive...and we are good. With that taken care of, I think I can just enjoy this thing now. Thanks!

I'm definitely going to look at the various caps in depth when I take the chassis out. So here are a few pictures I grabbed with my phone...unfortunately, it's hard to adjust to get the cleanest picture, but I hope these give a sense of the coloring issues I'm seeing, and in some I think I...

Thanks, yeah, I'm definitely reading up on this stuff, but it's a lot to take in. What's frustrating is that it looks really good, and nobody else sees any issues, so I don't know if I'm just being particularly uptight about this, which is why it's difficult for me to figure out where to start...

Ah, Michael J. Anderson...love that guy on Twin Peaks, but loved his character on Carnivale. As for the slight screen discoloration...I'm not sure where the interference might be coming from, as when I looked at the cabinet several hundred miles from where it is now, it had the same distortion...

Sanyo EZ-20 and Mario Bros. - newbie alert with some basic questions I just received my first arcade cabinet ever...prior to this, I've been enjoying the simple luxury of my MAME cab. What a difference it is to play on the real thing...and to deal with CRT displays. All in all, the cabinet...
