Hey all,
More progress made in the Q*Bert restoration. The control panel which was beat up really bad is 90% better than it was and there's not a lot more that can be done for the few imperfections in it. It's also been sanded down to remove the few rust spots. The question I have is do I need to primer or paint the cp before applying the new overlay? I didn't paint my Mappy cp before applying and it went fine. I don't want to cut corners so I thought I'd ask.
My second question is about the Gottlieb coin door. Is this just a regular over/under door that has that raised plate on it? Can I just find the plate and attach it or do I need to hunt down a complete door? I should note my Pole Position cockpit has a door with a raised area like the Gottlieb door but with no logo on it. Would that maybe be one I could use and put the logo on? Thanks all.
Edit: The door on my Pole Position cockpit looks identical but the Gottlieb plate is missing. I'm sure PP didn't come with this door originally. Was the Gottlieb logo just an adhesive backed plate?
