NEW Q*Bert Is Looking Pretty Good

Nice! Did you paint the coin door or have it powder coated?

I have a raised letter door and I'd prefer to powder coat but I'm not quite sure how to handle the lettering. The factory style is raw metal but don't see how to get that exact look without coating the whole piece and then sanding off the coat.
 
Looks really nice, wow! Wish I had the room for one of those bad boys.
 
Looks brand new. I once tried to do a Q*bert restoration from a converted Q*bert Quebes cabinet. I had everything I needed. Got a working main PCB, marquee, bezel, control panel, side art, harness, power supply. Only thing I was missing was a sound board and then I got short on cash. I ended up selling all the parts and I traded off the empty cabinet for a Tron power supply.

Long story short, I am having a large case of Q*bert envy right about now.
 
Not to nitpick but Q*Bert's with the swearing marquee never had the Gottlieb coin doors. Those came much later in the production run.
 
Incredible! It was like looking back in time to the first time I saw that game!

What excellent workmanship!
