    Sealing metal after removing rust

    I've removed the rust with white vinegar on a coin door, stripped the old paint with a wire wheel, and painted it with enamel paint, which came out pretty good. Now I have a few monitor frames that are rusted and my question is, once I've removed the rust, what's the best thing to use to seal...

    Cabinet Stencil - This Old Game

    Thanks for the tips. I've been using 80 grit on a belt sander to get the paint off. Then I'm using an orbital sander with 120 grit to smooth it out and get some of the bumps out. Your right, when I pulled the coin door and it matched with the sample, so definitely grey.

    Dumb Question Saturday: Drilled-out hole in coin door button

    Now I know. I’m guessing the reason to block is because the coin mech or micro switch failed

    Pole Position Gas Pedal Rebuild

    "By pulley, do you mean the metal string thing that turns the pot? I believe these were also reproed at one point." Yes. Who sources these now?

    Cabinet Stencil - This Old Game

    When I took the coin door off and some of the paint on the side, looks like a white Taito pattern. Also, I pulled the CP and has a Qix overlay on the back. Were there different versions (white and grey)? I've never worked on a Qix, so have no idea.

    Cabinet Stencil - This Old Game

    Better to spray Ordered the stencils last night. On the wood hardner, I'm assuming that would go on all of the naked wood (side panel and edge...where the t-molding was). Updated process: - Klean Strip Paint Stripper, to get rid of all of the black paint - Sand all the way down to the MDF -...

    Cabinet Stencil - This Old Game

    I've not heard of them until I started poking around for stencils. As far as clearcoat, I was thinking that it would make a seal. Since I've never done this before, thinking of the following steps: - Klean Strip Paint Stripper, to get rid of all of the black paint - Sand - Primer - White coat...

    Cabinet Stencil - This Old Game

    Long story short: Have a cabinet that was painted black. After some investigation (and a little paint stripper), it appears that the cabinet was a Taito Qix. The underlying cabinet is white (like the original cabinet) but the art is not there. I'm thinking about cleaning the rest of the...
