It still amazes me how certain parts of an arcade restoration (sometimes parts which are never even seen or noticed once installed) can take so long to finish and make such a difference. If you have a good before and after of something arcade related that you can share, post here. Small description (or not) and 2 pics, one before, one after, hopefully from the same or a similar angle. Maybe it will inspire some of the CAA Guys to finally get off their fat cop asses and get back into the artistic side of this arcade hobby. First up is a Nintendo base rebuild. It's just one of many I've done over the years, but as I just installed it this past weekend it is still fresh in my mind.

My guess is they aren't rubber but rather nylon "sliders"...

Personally, for DK cabinets I use the small round ones that comes with a nail in them (used for chair legs)...
 
That Williams power brick looks nice. I could use one, by the way.

Yes, those were built from scratch :) I wanted to be part of this cool thread, but my other before and after pics were either robots or Vectrex related :-(
