Lay your cabinet on its side. Cover it with a single layer of paper towels. Soak the paper towels with isopropyl alcohol. Cover it with Saran wrap. Wait until it gets all soft and easy to remove. Some people say overnight, some say an hour, but mine only took 10 minutes. Then wipe off. That's...

Gave the alcohol, paper towel, and saran wrap method a go on this Joust cabinet I picked up from Tonyt76 a bit ago. Stripping paint should not be this easy! Only had it soaking for about 5-10 minutes before it was obviously ready to come off. I wouldn't recommend leaving it on too much longer...

Very nice job on cleaning that art! I have 2 of these cabinets and your art is pretty darn nice. Kids seem to have discovered how easy it was to scratch that artwork off... usually with their initials... sometimes worse :rolleyes2: Also it's a shame you're at the other end of Canada. I'm...

Wowzers, I can't believe you salvaged that control panel. It looks fantastic! Amazing job my friend!

I bought a pair of sit-down SFRush cabinets and one of them is collapsing. Not to be confused with monitor collapse... the 'upright' portion / monitor cabinet is falling face-forwards towards the seat. The other cabinet has a pair of metal side rails reinforcing the bottom sides of the back...

The guy I bought my Big Guns from had done this very thing where the ball would drop on the playfield if you miss the skill shot. Photopaper & mylar. It looks great. So does yours!

Amazing. Simply. Amazing. It's like travelling back in time and I'm 9 again. ❤️

They do, as long as your wife doesn't find out! :4: I spray mine down with super clean and run them (and on occasion a monitor chassis too) through my restaurant dishwasher. Although it is a low-temp machine.

It looks a lot like my Star Castle. Someone poorly hand brushed some clear coat of some type on and it yellowed. I'm having a hell of a time getting that stuff off. Citrus strip goes right from doing nothing to eating the white... which in the case of Star Castle I'm pretty sure is vinyl...

Nevermind... answered my own question with a little more digging. I hadn't found any mention of it on the main site, but in heading to 'contact us' to ask, I found a link to the TOGarchive in the FAQ. It's legit.

I am looking for a DOT UR overlay for a deconversion. A search brought up TOG "archive". It allows 'order now - pay later' on non-stock and custom print items. I'm on here almost daily, but this is the first I'm hearing of the TOGarchive. Is this Rich's also? It seems to be legit. Or is...

Citristrip for the win. Tried sanding and the black was too gooey. The only part that sanded well was the 2-in spot I baked with the heat gun. I was not about to bake the whole cabinet and then sand it. Stripped both sides in under 45 minutes.

Lol. No shame there. I did stumble on Szabo Arcades' vid too.

No w No way. I've got a DA and a belt sander. They should work unless the paint decides to pill up. If that happens, mechanical means just isn't going to work. Citrus strip is is then.

I heat gun paint off all the time and man I tried to heat gun this thing yesterday and the black would not come off until the yellow Pac-Man paint softened beneath it. It took WAY too long to do a two inch spot. I'll try to sand it off and if that fails I may citrus strip it.

I want to install laminate on this toasted Pac-Man cabinet but how much prep do I have to do? Someone already started peeling the black off do I need to continue? It's hanging on there pretty good. I know stripped and sanded is best, but I'm going to route this thing and I suspect it will get...

You were on a painting spree yesterday. I must have seen 3 cabinets on your facebook page, maybe more I can't remember! Looking good as always Phet! 👍

Is anybody out there reproducing Enduro Racer side art? Or have some NOS hiding out? I'm not having luck finding anything. Mine has some fancy schmancy laminate sides that don't look terrible for what it is, but I'd rather have the original art. I peeked under and the art is half gone, so no...

On a side note I actually have a working Pac-Gal board I may throw in this and keep it in my personal collection next to Congorilla. I certainly can't put it in my restaurant's arcade. LOL :mspacman:

I was actually trying to decide that myself. Also after a bit I realized the maze portrayal is 3D rather than 2D. Sort of interesting if you can get past the wonderful weirdness of the caricatures themselves. LOL
