Pallet was cleaner than the red tent. Love the progress, keep it up!

I think the staggered idea is worth trying.

Your problem isn't unique, there's basically two 25" bezels, one that is more 'portrait' which fits Midway cabs (think MK2) and the more landscape one that is for Konami. Someone would make a lot of money if they could figure a way to reproduce and ship them affordably. I know from experience...

I'm speaking to more of the harness or possible connection issue; just spitballing.

I'll jump in and also say that dark or missing colors has been a continuity issue for me in the past. I had a header on a chassis that was very tarnished so the picture looked incredibly dark. If I did a continuity test from the edge of the game PCB to the top of the input header on the...

I think the only thing I would do differently next time is just cut a whole slot on each side and put a long strip to match. No issues with lining up anything.

This. If you have a t-molding slot bit, you probably bought it in a set (or at least I did). So I use a thicker bit for joining, and just make matching width "biscuits": Bonus: No additional tools to store.

Phet, Real talk, I feel this comment so much. We're close enough in age with my oldest in high school and my closest friends have all drifted away over the years. A lot of the time I feel like I've made all of the effort to maintain these relationships, but even now I never spend any time...

Have you tried the generic T/S things for color? Like short the tab on the green neckboard IC to see if the pic turns all green (rules out tube issues). Have you tried another video source like the TPG or another PCB?

Give yourself a break; this place is like most social media, you tend to see the amazing deals and wonder “why can’t I find those”. Truth is, real scores are rare and get less frequent as the years go by. If you really wanted this cab, just enjoy it!

One more fun thing; when you can’t find the right tag exactly, improvise!

Are we sure this is a HS-5? I've seen this panel on HS-9s before, but never on a HS-5. This is the "universal" panel, so kitchen sink approach. You could swiss cheese it enough to get a SF setup, but there are people here and vendors that reproduce the SF layout ones. They come up a lot for...

She's back! All finished!

Starting to be slowed down by paint drying:

my favorite part of refinishing is the primer step. It’s when it stops looking like a patchwork quilt and starts to look like a real cab again:

slowly but surely. Also invested in better cabinet screws, most of the stock screws are fine thread and bent!
