Hopefully there's more than (2) of us here on KLOV. :D I'm undertaking a resto on my recently acquired JLP25, but am finding very few pictures of originals.

Below is a link to a picture of fellow member CavemanJoe's JLP25:

Below are pics of mine (please reserve comments...it's a cool little cab, but there's obvious reason why I'm interested in restoring it to a former state of glory ;)).

When I first got it home:

48 hours later:


From the original advertisements for the cab, and other pictures that I've found, which are all the 19" version, the color scheme appears to be original. On CavemanJoe's and mine, the bezel is unique from the 19" version.

I am curious to find what the original control panel overlay looked like, for the 25" cabs. Mine has a Jaleco CPO, however, the start button holes were covered, making me believe it is a replacement.

So, I'm sending out a call for any JLP owners, but especially to JLP25 owners, please post up pics of your cab. And if you've done any conversion to your cab, if you have any pre-conversion pics, please post them.

Thanks in advance!
 
I've pointed a couple recent Lo Pro acquirers in the direction of this thread. Hoping to see some more Lo Pro owners posting pics of their cabs, inside and out if possible.

Thought I should also update with the improvements I've made to mine.

-Swapped the tube and junked the tube with major Tetris burn
-Had the monitor bezel scanned, blemishes and imperfections edited out, and reproduced
-Junked the ill-fitting CPO plexi (yes the CPO is the last major piece that needs attention
-Patched and re-painted the cab (thank you, Atari the Jedi)
-Replaced t-molding
-Replaced power cord
-Replaced speakers, which had been painted/spackled on
-Replaced coin door locks
-Acquired a NOS CPO. It doesn't fit my panel (not wide enough), but hopefully someone on here would be interested in scanning it and offering repros. The material is exactly what is on my CP currently, and has a mildly rough surface to it.



 
Ha, nice! Pics or it didn't happen. ;)

It's been painted red, and the 1-player panel has a trackball hacked into it... but amazingly the 2-player panel is still mounted inside the cabinet and has never been used!

Sweet. Congrats! Where exactly is the 2p panel stowed away?
