    Cleaning harness wires

    ALL my harnesses I run through the dish washer and then pull out before the heat dry comes on (or turn off the heat dry if possible). Outside air dry for a day and then good to go.

    Best way to clean these?

    Not pot-metal. But yea, possibly rust. A simple rust remover will work and then silver paint to be good as new.

    Attaching an Atari Cardboard Bezel???

    I always use staples (not the desk stapler). They are easy to pull out with a small screwdriver if need be. And always use a small piece of electrical tape over the staple to avoid scratches with bezel.

    Lubricating parts in a coin door

    Yea, I like the suttle wood grain look as well. I'll see what I can do. Had to cut 3 inches off the bottom and will make the grain go the same way with the replacement panel.

    How to deal with Wood Grain?

    I have done a few restorations but this is a first with very dry older plywood. With doing some repairs and fills on this grainy plywood, that area will be smooth. So my questions is: To bondo film the entire cabinet to be smooth, or take maybe a wire brush to add grain to the smooth bondo'd area?

    How to remove nasty glue on Tempest Marquee Frame

    I have put this aside for a few years now, because it has been very frustrating. I have tried several different chemicals and all they do is ball up the glue, and or make it more sticky. Any ideas/secrets on how to remove the glue so I can put my nice new overlay on this thing. Much appreciated.
