Well finally have gotten around to starting to strip my Duramold Cab that was converted by someone into a Vigilante game.
Lucky for me the conversion didnt hack things up too bad.
When i first got the cab,I did not know what it was other then a really cool cabinet, and later to find out what it was.
Here is what it looked like when I got it:
As you can see the insides are very dirty, someone put in a switcher and cut off the original PS's wires.
Question: What would you use to clean and protect the Plastic Cab inside and out. I dont want to use anything that will damage it long term.
The first thing I did was take the CP out and strip it down. I was surprised to see it was just a flat piece of wood with a metal top. This should make redoing the CP not too bad im hoping.
Dokert was kind enough to make me a new AC/DC Wiring harness for my game along with a repro of the CP harness.
Lucky for me he also had a full set of working boards to boot.
I have picked up my 49 Way joystick off a member here and got a new Spider for the bottom, along with the different color Translucent Buttons.
Once i have the CPO ready, i will start reassembling the CP.
If its of any use to anyone i traced out my CP and measured for holes etc.

This is my current work in progress and I will post pictures and information as i go not only here, but also on my website.
Thanks
Ken
