I appreciate the response.. I think the easiest for me to do since it doesnt balloon out to far and the material acts more like foam board than actual wood I can just cut the edges off and cut new pieces to match and shore up the support on the inside... I will have to do this on the back side where the door is supposed to go as well. I will post in stages once I complete each one.There are a couple of ways you can go about fixing it.
1- Cut out the bottom up to where the swelling ends and scab in a new piece of wood. Glue, fill, sand, fill, paint or vinyl/laminate
2- Use wood hardener and inject it into the swollen area thats breaking apart and clamp the edges back down using a hard piece of flat wood or steel backed with wax paper so it doesn't stick. This will compress the blown out edge and make it solid. You may have to do this in several steps.
3- add wood hardener to the flaking damaged area. Let dry. Sand swollen parts back to even. Add more hardener and refinish with paint/laminate/exc.
Just take your time and spend more time planning than you think you need to and it will turn out just fine. I had this machine in the shop for a customer. It was ready to topple over. Now its one of the nicer Galaga's I've worked on. It might act as a guide in your restore as I too needed to add panels/supports.I appreciate the response..

This is going to be a fun one for sure![]()



If possible I use a disposable pipette. This allows you to inject a considerable amount deeper into the fibers then a brush would allow. Also helps if you use gravity to your advantage. And yes use a flat board or metal edge to clamp against. Remembering to keep wax paper between the hard edge and cab.how did you apply the wood hardner to those edges? I assume just apply with brush or cloth then use some clamps against hard surface to make it more slim and compressed...?
I wouldnt use bondo for the edges. It's not very durable, I reserve bondo for inner nail holes. I used epoxy and wood flour. Search my other threads for more info. Every couple of months this gets brought back up so it's been covered and recovered in depth.
Yes, I think I can get all of it looking great again for sure.. The nice thing about this one is that the Game actually came up and worked with a small vertical collapse on the screen which I believe a cap kit can fix...Looks like the bottom gave way and broke where the wheels are, I'd try and get something to fix that as well.
