Hey guys - wanted to share some finished pics of my Big Blue refresh ...
When I first got it, it had been converted to a Sammy Sports Shooting game... the Control Panel had been hacked up so I had to scratch build a new... the cabinet itself was in decent shape but one of the top corners had been broken off so once repaired (bondo) i had to either paint (which does not stick well to laminate) or Vinyl wrap. I chose to wrap with 3M 1080 series "Satin Perfect Blue" ... this really close in color to original but is not an exact match as it has a faint metallic finish but I liked the premium look it gave the cabinet.
Someone had already gutted the Q-Sound Amp and Speakers from the cabinet so instead of using originals (which I had tracked down but was not impressed with quality) I decided to ad a pair of M-AUDIO AV-30 speakers and fabricated a frame to hold them in place.
This cabinet is running the Darksoft CPS Multi kit and the monitor has been changed out to a 27" Makvision tri-mode with appropriate bezel. All of the metal components have also been powder coated. Had to add a new Power Supply since the original decided to die while game was patiently waiting on me to finish it and since original light fixture was missing I went with a 24" LED fixture that worked out great.
Since I had to re-wrap with vinyl, I had to remove the original Q-Sound logo that was between the speakers... I could not find and NOS originals of this so I rebuild the sticker and had it printed. Same for the CAPCOM logo for the sides... I did find NOS originals but unfortunately they arrived damaged so I used those to scan/rebuild replacements. Links to download my source art files are further below. let me know if you have any questions.
The Marquee, CPO and from mirror CAPCOM decal were all NOS that I had managed to find over the last year... thank you to all the KLOV members who helped me with those.
