I'm preparing to finally fix up my Mario Bros that I picked up earlier in 2012. I plan to take a few days off work to get this done (or at least mostly done) once I manage to track down all the needed items.
For now this is sort of acting like a checklist of things to do and buy to make sure this gets done. Any input on suggestions, tips, or sources of materials is appreciated. The plan is to 'restore' this to look like the widebody, so orange sides and black front. I've read several GREAT restoration threads from over the years, and I can only hope that mine will end up half as nice as those.
So here's what I'm thinking for now. Let me know if I'm missing anything.

To Do Now:
Send monitor chassis off for repair- repaired by KLOVer buffett- Buy paint or vinyl. Leaning towards paint right now since if damage is done during a move or something, it'll be easier to fix down the road.
Buy T-molding- Bought the 'true-flat' stuff from chompingquarters.comOrder side art for application later- bought the screenprinted side art from phoenixarcade.comFind a source for the conversion CPO (all I can seem to find is the widebody one)- Look at possibly trying to buff out the scratches on the bezel, or buy a nice one if I come across one.
Repair PSU
