What's that board just to the right of the fan? Mine doesn't have that...

 

[joeycuda]

It's pretty for sure..

I really like the finish on the coin door. I bet with the game looking THIS clean and nice, a lot of guys' wives might let that one in the bedroom.

Oops, I usually have that secured a little better. Its the monitor adjustment remote board thingy

Thanks Joey! You're paper bezel was the finishing touch.
That texture on the coin door is called bk-1. Almost feels like sand paper.

It's pretty for sure..

I've always been a big fan of the cone start buttons, and the aluminum ones do not disappoint!

I must tell you Fiz, I have about as much skill in resto work as you have in you little finger, and I am supremely jealous!

I am a big fan of the aluminum start buttons, the black ones look great but IMHO the aluminum look better. Amazing job as usual, are you doing all these restorations for your own home arcade room or do you sell your games?
