But I really want to be able to play my Space Invaders Deluxe in the gameroom this winter. It was musty and has a bit of delamination on the bottom of the plywood, but otherwise the side art is very nice, I cleaned the monitor/ overlay/ backdrop/ light fixture bottom vinyl and coin box and installed a set of working boards in it. I need to install leg leveler blocks and the levelers themselves, maybe do a bit more scrubbing on the inside of the coin door, but aside from a full restoration this baby would be ready to light em up. I purchased the stencils to restore the cabinet, but realized that I could restencil it anytime, say when the paint actually began to peel off. What would you do? Get it good enough to put in there for now, or restore it fully and just wait a month (or more) to move it in and play it when it looks perfect? I am really getting tired of fully restoring these things given the little time I have these days. I still like to do it, but the time it takes sometimes seems not worth it when you just slap it in a row between 2 other games once your finished. I don't know, I suppose I am looking for justification in just saying "It looks fine for now".
