If you questioned it authenticity it must have looked pretty good. Any pictures?We picked up an Op Wolf and it had fake plastic green vines and leafs mounted inside to blend it with the screen.
Pretty cool.
At first I was like "is that factory?"

I'm really impressed with your progress... major props for pulling this off in a parking garage, off the back of your truck! The 3D-printed router templates is ingenious!
Unfortunately, it looks like my Operation Wolf back panel is just a plain piece of plywood. I couldn't recall if I still had the original back door to reference the lock cutout, but sadly, I don't...sorry.
If it's not too much trouble, would you be willing to share your 3D-printed template for the wheel cutouts, along with the specs for tools you used for joining the repair patch panels (like biscuit size, Confirmat screw bit...looks like a Snappy 7x 50mm, pocket screw jig, etc.)?
I had a bit of a mishap with my cabinet. While prepping it to inspect the bottom for repairs, the whole bottom just gave out. I knew it was in rough shape when I bought it a few years ago, but your build really inspired me to finally do something about it. I had no idea the monitor was basically counterbalancing the whole thing. Once I removed the monitor, the front of the cabinet tipped forward. Fortunately my son was there to hold it steady!
I am debating on following your path with sawing off the bottom sides vs trying to salvage the sides. They are swollen up to where Taito is printed on the side art and have broken off edges. The bottom panel also has the typical bent upwards issue at the foot rest and is badly warped, so it will definitely have to be replaced.

Anyway keep up the excellent work! Excited to see your next post.

OSHA!Got an Operation Wolf today for $50. I arrive and this is what the owner had rigged up to his car to pull it out of the basement. The 14 awg electrical wiring rigging held...
It's home now, and I'm fairly apprehensive about this restore lol
Thankful for these forums!

Hit me up I have an extra start sticker I'll send you.I transported the cabinet to my family's home, 700 km away, where I'll have a garage to do the laminate siding work and painting (beats doing this in a park or something, condo life - garages are alfor the rich in Vancouver!).
Did all this just to realize I left my laminate router bit army place... I'll have to finish the cabinet woodwork when I come back this way in September. In the meantime, I can focus on the electronics. It didn't fire up when I rescued it, and I believe its a power supply issue, but it could be anything.
Some progress made though: I got the gun components powder coated while back in my small town, and it turned out amazing:

I think I will buy the repro plastic grips as the original ones are a bit faded and will likely look out of place.
I have reblacked the hardware as well, as it was all rusty as shit. Heated the bolts over my gas range, dropped in oil, wiped off all the res oxide on paper towel, and repeated once more. Came out nice:

I'll also need to buy the gun buttons and the start sticker. I have the grenade button, but its yellow and all the buttons I have seen on Operation Wolf are red. This basement rescue didn't come with a start button.
"just" - love it!Mine just had authentic mouse shit and dead spiders inside.
