Some of you may have followed my thread in the restore section if not here is a link:
http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=253995



This is approximately what I have into the panel in some cases I didn't include my cost for shipping so I may have actually paid more than this:

blank rusty crappy panel -$45
joystick -$45
spinner with new optic board $55 (riptor optic board)
NOS spinner knob $40 (mylstar)
NOS grommet $30 (mylstar)
NOS cpo $100 or so, can't remember what I paid for it actually
joystick shell $55 off of ebay claiming it was 30 years old, looks perfect.
buttons/molex/nuts for cp $20
joystick insert (phoenixarcade) $12

damn, so I guess I'm around $400 into this panel, and about 30 hours. I just got the spinner decal from phoenixarcade (looks awesome) so I am thinking of putting the decal on a difference spinner knob on putting it on this panel and keeping the orange top (that's what I played back in the day was an orange top) for my next panel restore.

$525 shipped

I realize there is probably just about zero market for this, lol, I may ebay it, or after I restore the other panel with all repro parts I will sell that one for less and keep this one.

If nothing else, enjoy my sweet panel!

I got to see this gem in person and it's beautiful! Good luck on the sale.

Yeah I don't really expect it to sell, sometimes a guy just needs to detail the work and the cost that goes into some of these things. I did list it on ebay just to see what happens.
 
I'm gonna give it one bump

$440 shipped with the original (great shape) spinner with a new phoenixarcade decal, I will pull the NOS spinner top for my next panel.


again I realize there is virtually nobody interested in a cp at this price, but why not try. :)
 
That's a thing of beauty, i'd be interested if i hadn't already restored my TRON. It adds up fast though that's for sure.
 
believe it or not, it just sold for $525 shipped so it's gone. Thanks for looking guys.
