This is a call out to all the REAL players of 720. I know there are a number of you on the forums and am curious to hear your opinion.
Everyone knows about the screw/bolt that holds the CP down in the lower/bottom/front section of the panel. Almost every picture I've seen of most any 720 in the recent years (besides the pro restorations of course)has this section of the front blown out due to abuse.
My issue is this. Mine is blown out, and has been "repaired" and painted, but the hole is gone. When I play for high scores, the end of the second round going into the third, everything is either 3 or 4 spins. The control panel on the bottom begins to lift a bit and either makes my spin rough, or feels like I'm putting unnecessary wear on the machine itself.
What have you guys done to further secure your CP? It almost seems like Atari's original design is flawed since you see so many blown out.
While I want mine to look as original as possible, I also want to make it as functional as possible. I have rebuilt the controller, replaced art, replaced t-molding. Everything is in great shape. I just want it a bit more solid for when my buddy's who really play get the best experience.
