Got this as part of a trade a couple of months ago. I figured it would be a long-term project, but I'm way to impatient to wait on this...so I started scouring for parts. I got lucky and had another member contact me with an untested pcb, which I just got back repaired yesterday from Mike Kessler (thanks so much!!!). After installing a switching power supply adapter this morning, I've got a beautiful, fully working Slither!!!

This cabinet was painted black and converted to a Toki:

Fortunately, the conversion left the control panel unmolested, and the cabinet itself was in great shape...I quickly began the stripping/sanding process:

Finished:

Primed (there's the other part of the trade in the background - Thief - you'll see it completed next to the slither in the last pic!)

Sides painted off-white:

First round of Stencils completed:

Unfortunately, the black border portion of the stencil set didn't match the cabinet, so I had to hand-tape all of it :(

Turned out nicely, though :)

Unfortunately, I don't have room for it yet in my "barcade," so until the addition is complete in spring, it will have to stay in my office/overflow area...
 
Nice work! I was shipped the first set of Stencils and noticed the error after trying to test fit it. Unfortunately, I didn't send Thisoldgame the updated information/scans in time before other orders were made. For anyone else planning on ordering the stencils, they should be flawless now.

Wish I would've known that...I got the stencils included in the trade. Oh well, it helped me work on my taping skills, which I'm currently using on a space dungeon since the Taito stencils are "out of stock."
