So today I grabbed the GORF back out and started phase 2 of the restoration; cleaning the insane amount of garbage and dirt inside. This has to be a fire hazard.
The GORF has now been completely disassembled. And Spyridon is right, that monitor removal was not intended for one person to do without laying the game on the side. That was one difficult puppy. I also took the opportunity to repaint and 'spit shine' the power supply.
Also, here is a group shot of all the new parts. New CPO and joystick insert from Rich at ThisOldGame, new textured black T-molding from NovaCade, and side art from ArcadeOverlays. If anybody has noticed, the side art is a little darker than the original game. So instead of matching the original color of the cabinet, I matched the color of the new sideart, which is Valspar Pacific Pleasure from Lowes.
Also, here is a picture of the full damage around the coin door now that the door has been removed. This will be quite a task. After the repair, I dont know if I should use paint or find new light grey Formica like the original.
