It never ceases to amaze me the astounding work you always do on these games. Looks fucking kick ass, nice job! (wish I could make a game look that nice)

Thanks Johnny. I am very happy with how this one turned out. The only thing left to do is some tweaking to the interior wiring. It doesn't seem routed correctly yet and kinda seems messy. Doesn't flow like it should. I may also upgrade the wheels on the back of the base as well. These are new, but seem too small. When I tilt the cab back to roll it, it seems like I REALLY have to tilt it back. I went with 2.5" wheels initially but think I am gonna jump up to 3 inch wheels. One thing I will say about this cab. It's tough to make OSB look pretty:

Another very nice restoration. Looks awesome.


BTW, since you're obviously such a perfectionist....

I'll take this time to piss you off, and let you know a little secret: the dedicated single monitor black pc-10's like this had Wells monitors in them!

Well this was originally a dedicated Vs. cab and came with a Sanyo (the newer model with the degaussing button) from the factory. After hosing it down and capping it, it has a beautiful picture, even with Dr. Mario burn in the tube. I'd much rather have a Sanyo in a Nintendo game than a 7000 anyway. Sanyos (and Sharp XMs) are the shit.

I agree, I'm just messing with you.

Is the vinyl from Rich? I'm so afraid to try vinyl...

Nope, Pica from HAPP. This vinyl is much thicker and far more forgiving than Rich's thin stuff. I've used both, in fact, sometimes in the same day. I've been working on my Rampage simultaneously with this PC-10 and I covered that one in Rich's vinyl. Let's just say that even though they are both black adhesive vinyls, they are vastly different.

Phet, what are you using to do the gold on your Ps's? ?
Click to expand...

Gold spray paint. It's a lot more golden looking than it should be, but it works out OK. I only do this when there is rust and severe tarnishing, otherwise I polish them up and leave them alone. This one was used as a rat urinal for several years.

Sweet! Looks great. You mind if I get the color and brand you are using? Brasso only goes so far.

Whoa, a Greg sighting. Thanks man. What are you working on these days?

Ah well you know, just stayin' under the radar. I'm still doing restores, just haven't started any threads lately. Here's a teaser of one I'm going to start soon though.
(not a full 100% restore yet)

Whatever it is, try not to outdo me.

I'm not sure anyone here could outdo you man, but competition is always a good thing, he he.

Thanks Tighe. I hoped to get one more done before baby 3 was here, but I doubt that's gonna happen. She's already dilated to 3cm.
