So a few months back I traded a D&D: TOD in a Dynamo cab for a Gauntlet cab converted to crime fighters. I already had a Gauntlet II board and picked up a sound amp that farted but fixed it and rebuilt some of the wiring and now she's in working order. Now to redo the art...

I'm starting on the control panel and the marquee to follow.

Removed the overlay and then goo goned the adhesive using a razor to scrape it up and a magic eraser to clean up the rest.

Updates to come soon.

Question: Did Gauntlets come with plexi over the CP? How thick? and where can I get the Atari joystick rebuild kits? mine feel like crap!
 
No plexi over the control panel.
Mylstar should have the kits.
The cabinet looks nice and solid.
You can get a set of the tall sideart from JP1 here on the board.
I've used them and they really look nice.
 
Never liked the new cp overlays.
Looks like all of the characters went to the beach and then went down to the dungeon to fight all of the bad guys. :)

Yeah. I'm not a fan of the way the color was done on these. Know a place that does better art?
 
Darin at Phoenix Arcade is trying to find the original films from Scott Evans to run a screened reproduction of the CPO and the sideart. Until then, you aren't going to find anything that truly compares to originals.
 
So are you going the 'Gauntlet I' route with the art? (Gauntlet II has a different CPO, as I am sure you already know.)

Hopefully he'll do the whole art set. I'd be willing to volunteer my gauntlet to him to use as guinea pig with since I'm local to him.
