Dedicated Atari TETRIS cabaret #124 - A CossackWarrior Restoration
Hey guys, it's been a while since I posted one on my recent restorations. It's a pretty rare dedicated Tetris. I love Tetris, and I love this style cabaret. In actuality, the few dedicated Tetris arcades made in the Atari factory, were from leftover KLAX cabarets, as you can tell from the inside of the cabinet, the wooden mounts to mount the KLAX pcb are still in there, but not used for Tetris as the Tetris pcb I much smaller in size and mounted directly to the cabinet with mounting feet and screws.
All matching serial numbers.
What was done:
1. Cleaned and restored buttons, button bezels, joysticks cp harness
2. All metal striped and re-powdercoated
3. All inner guts removed, cleaned, restored
4. Cabinet striped, sanded, bondo'd, and cabinet spray painted with professional equipment
5. New 3M black satin vinyl applied on front and sides
6. New chrome t molding
7. Rounded top chrome bullnose bezel was re-chromed
8. Coin doors polished and chromed to match chrome t molding and bullnose bezel
9. New Teflon leg levelers
10. NOS side art applied
11. NOS cp art applied
12. Special project on scanning and reproducing the original monitor art bezel. Repro made from 2mm clear acrylic, art was reverse applied, and plotted cut to match original bezel size and center cut out.
13. Added the missing black cardboard monitor shroud (now available from Joeycuda thanks to hisnice lending his
)
Enjoy guys
