    And cosmetically that's a wrap! All that's left now is dial in the monitor and figure out a sync issue. Not gonna lie this was hard. Really hard. With a pregnant wife, a toddler, and a baby, I'm stretched extra thin. I did what I could when I could and the setbacks with the routing and such...

    I would need to see technique if I actually end up doing that. I would never live it down. I would need to study and study some more visually.

    Coin door is back on and authentic orange T-molding has been installed as well! It’s popping now!

    Today I pulled the monitor from the cabinet and removed the existing 4600. The picture was fine enough when I first picked up the game and the seller was showing me but the caps were definitely 45 years old. I had another 4600 I recapped I was keeping around as a spare for the Pac-Man in my...

    Well the good news is I scuffed up the laminate before and during painting so here’s hoping it lasts

    Dude I can’t believe I just stenciled an arcade cabinet and it turned out this good! Is it perfect? No. Was it ever going to be? No. Just in awe though. I never thought I’d ever do it. And Pac-Man with its lines took a LONG, TEDIOUS time to peel black but finally both side panels and the kick...

    Sneak peek of peeling off black… We still have a ways to go on this side panel and there’s ever so slight tinnnny little things that honestly feel like it’s coming out the factory one of a kind like they all did. Otherwise…DUDE IT’S LOOKING SO GOOD SO FAR. Stay tuned for the final cabinet art...

    We're getting there now. Red is in the books. I'm loving the result, got the vinyl application down really well this time. A little chillier outside today so had to change times a bit but much the same as blue yesterday. If you notice, you'll see in my pictures in progress I didn't realize I...

    ALRIGHT! Blue is officially on! I’m really happy with the result! I really didn’t see myself getting the first layer solid but I just sent it like usual. I can’t ask for much more. Tiiiiiny smudges on one side panel but easily erasable. Getting excited for red in the coming days! The first dive...

    My first foray into stenciling has officially begun. Also the first time I’ve handled double masking. So I I went full send. I’m pretty satisfied with the results. Time consuming but the right side blue stencil is applied and masked off. There were some difficulties and little itsy bitsy tears...

    Alright, not bad, not bad. It’s coming together now! My last Formica sheet arrived today and got right to applying and routing and now both side panels and the kick plate are nice chrome yellow. (Formica 1485) I mocked on the coin door, monitor, and control panel for giggles and it’s coming...

    So I had a coverage plan and it's working so far. Filled in the gouge with something non-destructive that didn't need extra sanding, etc. and just put some Kwik-Seal in there. It's rubbery but it blocks dust and moisture so cool. Then I decided to put something era-esque to cover it up and...

    What sucks is I was using my flush trim bit but NOT paying attention to the bearing NOT rolling along but hanging in the air…so I was riding no reference. Live and learn…

    Man this one just has not gone my way, but I’m pressing onward. The left side is laminated. You can see the hack job I did on the coin door that thankfully the coin door itself covers up 99% of. But I cut too close on the back and the left side of the back door is basically naked on its own...

    Anybody think of a sticker, decal, something that would’ve gone in the area beneath the coin door with the gouge? Kinda wanna play into it. “For Amusement Only” or something Bally/Midway or something. “Don’t Kick the Coin Door” lol

    Well…lmao…the cabinet is definitely mine now. 🤣 Had some mishaps trying to cut into the coin door area after adhering the laminate. Cut a littttttttle too far into the actual kickplate itself without realizing until it was too late. But…I’m here to document everything, including the boneheaded...

    Cab is fully re-primed and ready for the ease of dealing with laminate. Just wanted to seal and prepare the particle board for contact cement coming soon. For the best the vinyl didn't work out honestly. Now I don't have to sand, prime, sand, paint, sand into oblivion.

    Alright decided to full send. I’ll have to find some other…use or something for the vinyl kick plate and remaining side art. Picked up the Pac-Man stencil package from arcadestencils.com and got some Formica chrome yellow laminate sheets. Saw Rustoleum satin poppy red, satin oasis blue, and...
