Just drilled lock off and starting to clean and check monitor. Looks to be a clean nice wired cab so hope this will not be as a pain Pole Position was. Also I opened up the cab and found owners manual. I will be posting any snags or technical problems for future reference to others.

Are you planning to keep the "wood grain" vinyl or going a different route for the sides? I'm about to start mine, and I haven't decided......My has had the vinyl removed and painted black, I was actually pondering doing the green from the marquee....

Search dinkyflix on YouTube for frogger restoration. I really like what he did but I don't have the time or motivation. A great looking cabinet.
 
that's actually really close to what I was thinking, the green paint I have is almost identical, I was even thinking dark blue t-molding!

This is what I did, Frogger green, mixed with flourescent green, it glows in a black light

can you tell me what green that is and where you got it? Where do you order those base plates? Thanks. I gotta start on this now I got a buyer.
 
i dont have the paint code, but it was a Disney Paint from Home Depot, i mixed flourescent spray paint in with it. I sold this Frogger a while back, and dont have any good pictures of it lighted up. The side kick panels I made from aluminum, painted black to clean up the edge.
 
Can anyone take a couple photos of interior cabinet. Need to position board and switcher correctly. Not much room to work with right now. Also to help with correct wiring positions.
 
So what am I missing besides board?

Edit board arrived and game working besides some monitor v hold issues.

Primed the cabinet and started pealing the old overlay. Board ordered and inbound thanks to Riptor.

Received board today but my monitor crackles when I turn it on and my monitor horizontal hold is not stopping the screen from going left to right and v hold isn't much better. I just cannot stop screen from chasing. Any tips?
 
Both holds seem pretty random on what they want to do. V hold will slowly go up then change and go down without me touching it.
 
ImageUploadedByTapatalk1334646289.152681.jpgDue to the snag in this v/h hold issue I painted. The v/h hold is so sensitive on this thing and it does what it wants. I hope I'm close to getting this done with this.
 
Sounds like one or more of your syncs are not hooked up right. I had the exact same problem with a game. Once I corrected the syncs, everything locked in EASY!

Thanks, I will check that out. So your holds we're too sensitive and it randomly did what it wanted?
