When I first did PP, I just took all the working boards, etc. and put it all together and refinished the cabinet. After completing my PP1 project I had a ton of extras left over. When I finally started going through it all and was planning on selling off the bits and pieces, I realized I basically had an almost complete machine in terms of the guts and wiring harness. Instead of selling it off, I decided to turn it into a PP2. I had taken some random shots of the progress as I was not consciously documenting the project, but thought I would share here nevertheless.

The second cabinet was in rough shape. Sides had OG PP artwork, but had been painted over black, the back door was missing and the upper part had been ripped off. Some inside pieces were missing or broken and had to be reproduced and replaced. A lower rear corner was destroyed. The front veneer had chunks missing from it as well as holes from a lock bar installation at some point. I also had a god awful hum once I hooked it all up and had to replace the linear audio amp ICs on one of the ARIIs.

A friend that has a CNC router cut the center hole in the upper back piece for me. I attached a short video of it being cut out.

New side art, marquee, and glass bezel from This Old Game.

Here are some shots from the project!

Looks sharp. Great job.

That little CNC machine is cool.

What monitor is in the PP2 cab?
