I guess it is time for the reveal, as it has made its way into the game room. Only thing left is the coin door. This one has been a long process, but rewarding none the less.

Now all the line-up needs is coin doors. Seems like all my restorations are sitting waiting for coin doors.
 
Cab looks stupendous. Just curious, did you get a chance to use audiomidiman's new TrueFlat Nintendo T-molding?

Great Job! Can't wait to get back to work on my DK! Nice carpet too. ;)
 
Dude, that looks AMAZING! I wish I had all that space to work on restoring! Just yesterday I was removing an old cpo and putting a monitor back in my Time Pilot and I swear I cracked my elbow 8 times on the game next to it!!

Again, great work!! :)

Nice Work Big Kev. I really love the Mario Bros Cabinet. Always have.

That Ninty Row is looking good. When did you start restoring the Popeye? I musta missed that thread.

I don't think I posted about any of the other Nintys in the line up. Just couldn't bring myself to post without the coin doors being finished, but I broke down with the MB. Now I have all the Ninty cabs waiting on coin doors. Haven't had much motivation to get them done since I have the HS/freeplay kits in all of them so no need to have a functioning coin door -- except for the MB as it has lights. Thinking of just getting them powder coated and be done with it. I have one more to add to the line up, a vs. cabinet, but I will wait to reveal that when it is done (however you know what the game is already). I am taking a bit of a creative license with it. More to come later.

So I will have 4 Ninty coin doors to restore, 1 MB coin door, and 1 Qbert coin door -- way too many.
 
Holy crap you have so much space to work on stuff! Does it echo when you talk in there?! Jeez.That said,the MB looks almost fantastic.It will look truly fantastic once the coin door is in there. :D

Yeah, what he said... but I think it looks fantastic even without the coin door, lol. MB's are awesome, I just can't get enough of them. Someday mine will be done. Just what is that HUGE workspace you have? Damn I'm jealous - the game(s) look great, the gameroom and carpet look great, and the shop/workspace looks great. Nice work. :)

It's the mezzanine in the warehouse at work (really just a second floor). Just need to forklift the cabs up and and down. I believe it is a 5000 sq/ft space mainly just used for old write off stock, records, and storage. It still has plenty of real estate left for cabinet work and air hookup for the paint gun.
