Hey Gang, got the Punch-Out tonight. Overall I'm excited, but some things need addressing...
Firstly, the previous owner installed non-Nintendo buttons for punch left and punch right. I'm pretty sure the button holders aren't Nintendo either, but I could be wrong. (Button holders don't match, and one button's height is compensated with a fender washer). Basically I got the actual button out (the push part) but the base is really locked in there. I'll try and get a pic up ASAP but I am without a camera at the present moment. He was nice enough to give me two Nintendo buttons, an orange and blue; and he claims the stock cabinet button color scheme was just that. I've heard both are supposed to be orange. Basically, if someone could post a pic of the underside of a Punch-Out CP I'd be in debt to them.
Second, the coin mechs. They don't lock, but he also gave me a spare lock insert with a set of keys that is longer than the one in it - so the "new" lock, when installed, protrudes like an outtie belly button. Second when I have the door swung open to view the quarter dropping through, the inserted quarter sails into no-man's land. All I can think of is it is missing some sort of metal sleeve/guide that guides the quarter into the bottom mech of the coin door. ((When I drop a quarter through the bottom P1 mech it triggers that small twine thingy and registers as a credit... dropping a quarter trough the P2 bottom mech doesn't do anything, and the little twine switch thing is obviously bent down out of range)).
Third, he gave me side art he never got around to applying, and I'm guessing it is because of the 6 chrome bolt heads that are riddled down each side of the cab. I didn't want to, but I think I will have to somehow take them out and flush screws in their place, bondo, sand, and repaint UGH! Then apply the side art.
Basically any tips on any three parts of this thread would be highly appreciated. Not sure how I'm going to "undo" the bold heads, or how I'll fix my coin problem. A pic of the underside of the CP should solve my button issue easy enough.
I guess on the bright side, I have a Punch-Out in my basement that looks good despite the bolts, has crispy monitors, and works 100% gameplay-wise.
