JP's S.T.U.N. RUNNER Restore

Made some more progress on the Stun Runner project... next weekend I will have the wiring and PCBs back in the game and it should be fully working and then ready to sit and wait for me to finish all the graphics.

I got all the metal back from PowderCoat, got the the plastics back from the paint shop and picked up the new custom size glass for the scaled up monitor area.

The LED fixture I usually put in my cabs would not fit in the unique size/shape marquee box so I used LED strips instead. The original Marquee was in fantastic shape so I wont have to repro that. I customized/changed the angle of the Marquee box so it now stands straight up instead of sloping back in line with the monitor angle.

I had all of the metal frame components and the various Yoke parts done in Satin Black and the metal foot plates I went with a texture black like the coin-door (not shown yet) ... I know the original foot pate is just raw stainless but wanted to change it up a bit. Also new rubber on the foot rest panels.

The Dash and Seat plastics really turned out great... I had to repair a giant crack in the bench and rebuild a missing chunk before it was ready to paint... I also had all the button/screw covers painted ad the same time so everything matches.

I tore the Yoke down a couple weeks ago to prep for powder-coating so all parts cleaned and soaked in rust remover. I bought NOS handles from ArcadeFixIt.com along with new POTs. everything cleaned up great and as good as new. I also re-greased the original areas/components so its smooth and quiet (used to squeak with every move)

Since I scaled up the monitor box from the original size (so that I could go from 19" to 27") ... in doing so, the original frame and glass was now to small so I used 1" Aluminum Angle to fabricate a new frame and then sent to powder-coat along with the other parts.
















 
Spectacular! I have owned a few of these and enjoy the game but the size and condition of the games always prompted me to sale them. If I had one this nice it will still be in my collection.
 
finally got some wind in my sails for the graphics on this one... I finished the physical part of the project a while ago but hadn't been able to make time for graphics... still a long way to go but got these done today.

Thanks to Joe @ Szabos Arcades I was able to get my first couple of pieces of art printed before the holidays which allowed me to move the Stun Runner in to the basement.

Normally I wouldn't move a machine into the gameroom until it was 100% finished but I really wanted to get this downstairs in time for the holiday get-togethers. I still have a bit of work to complete all the side art pieces but for the time being the machine at least looks somewhat finished.





 
Wow! Truly great work.

Now figure out how to complete The Ultimate Challenge level and tell me the secret.

Cheers!

Awesome work, you sir are an artist!
 
How did you get to the inside of the coin door to remove it?

You should be able to loosen and move the coin door fasteners as pictured. The coin door should come right out once they are all moved aside.
