Museum of the Game® & International Arcade Museum® Forums

Picked up a rough Mario Bros. a few weeks ago. Finished it up today. Not perfect, but good enough to add to The Arcade for people to enjoy. Not trying to win any awards. Just trying to make it presentable...

-) Repaired the monitor
-) Fixed up, repaired, sanded, re-painted, etc the disintegrating cabinet
-) Cleaned up the inside and removed what surface rust I could without fully sanding the metal (it'll all be fine like it is for now)
-) Replaced the rodent-chewed poster board shroud and monitor bezel
-) Replaced the rodent-chewed cabinet speaker
-) Replaced the inoperative marquee light with an LED fixture
-) Completely new base assembly since the old one was rotten and missing the front piece
-) Cleaned and lubed up the joysticks
-) New buttons
-) New artwork
-) New T-Molding (thought I had ordered the offset molding but did not, so I'll get the correct molding installed later)
-) Modern switching power supply installed
-) Braze High Score/Free Play mod installed...

...and probably a dozen other things I'm forgetting. Again, it's not perfect, but much better than it was. We'll see how it holds up.
