Wrapped up restoration of a Galaga mini today. Two pics are attached. (Sorry, didn't take any before or in-process pics.)

New t-molding, leg levelers, control-panel-overlay, fire button, speaker, kickplate molding.
Coin door repainted. Black sides, upper area, bezel bracket, and top of cabinet repainted. Cracked marquee glued back together.
Switching power supply conversion installed. New edge connector on wiring harness. LED's behind marquee instead of bulbs. New fuse holders & fuses. Control panel stripped and repainted. Galaga enhancement pack installed on game pcb. Monitor rebuilt (caps, pots, flyback). Flaking paint on bezel sealed with Triple Thick and missing areas touched up.

Someone previously had replaced the woodgrain vinyl on the front of the cab with laminate.

Should look nice next to my Ms Pac mini and Tron mini.

Does it really belong here if there's no actaul restoration? Don't start sending me death threats, it looks great, really, but it's no different then if I looked at a picture of one that was HUO. Know what I mean? There's not even any before pics to see just how much work you put into it, it's just two pictures of a very nice looking Mini Galaga.

Anyway maybe i'm just stupid, don't hate me. :(

Well, excuse me. I won't waste anyone's precious time in the future. Yes, I know that I should have had a "before" pic to post. However, I had taken a quick look through the other postings in this sub-forum and found plenty of others that only had "after" pics, so I thought that I would share anyway.
