Nothing crazy today, doing what I can when I can, very motivated on this, especially after seeing laminate and side art on the cabinet. I finished up the G07 complete rebuild:
1. All new caps
2. New B+ filter cap
3. Width coil replacement after discovery of cracking and flimsiness in original coil from my parts G07
4. New 2SD871 TO-3 HOT to replace the original 2SD870. Just did it outright, shotgun.
5. Reflow of all solder on header pins, etc.
Visually the flyback looks fine. And considering when the game first turned on and raster image was on the monitor for a bit and the flyback didn't catch fire, arc, etc. I'm not too concerned. My plan is to test this in my stellar upright Centipede's G07 tube/yoke as that G07 chassis produces a spectacularly flawless, bright, colorful picture. You can't get much more architecturally closer than another Centipede. More on that soon as I can. Otherwise I'm totally prepared to transplant the complete monitor from my upright to the cabaret. I shouldn't have to do that I would think. (
Score one for Atari putting 19" monitors in Centipede cabarets)
Following the hammered black coating of the coin doors, frame, and coin reject and return bezels and their subsequent drying and curing, I've now applied satin black spray enamel to them all. (
Frame not pictured) I love the look of the deeper satin black over the hammered black texture underneath. I didn't do that for my Widow.
I'm hoping to reassemble the coin doors tomorrow, maybe get after the coin bucket and test switch assembly, anything else I can get to.

@Takeman 's blue trackball arrives today and I have the trackball rebuild kit from Arcadeshop ready to go with new carriage bolts and nuts to fully complete the control panel.
