Well after being balls deep in this machine all day, I can safely say that whoever frankensteined this cabinet together can kiss the hairiest, sweatiest part of my ass. I've got it mostly dissassembled. I also located a bulb for the marquee, more on this later. I've got a few questions about how to proceed from here:
1) I had one boo boo when I was cleaning some parts on the coin door. When I was cleaning the bit that says ".25" I got a bit too vigorous and now it's just a clear piece of plastic : ) Anyone know where I can locate another? Here's a pic.
2) While we're on the coin door, what is the best way to refinish it? Whoever painted it last didn't do a very good job. Can I just use goof off to strip it to bare metal? What would I repaint it with? Also, what is that 2nd hole above the lock hole for? And where can I get a new lock?
3) When I put the new bulb in the marquee, it works but it doesn't light up fully. It only lights up at the ends, and not the middle. Is there a problem with the fixture, or did I not put the bulb in right or something?
4) How do I remove the red and blue buttons so I can get the plexi off and clean the cpo? Shouldn't they unscrew?
5) That weird pin/bolt thing to the right of the lock hole was used by the previous owner to keep the coin door shut. He drilled through the coin door frame to use it : / Where can I get a new coin door frame?
6) Part of the kick plate trim is gone, where can I get a new one?
Sorry for the questions overload, I had a big day : D
