Well, not a $1,000,000, however, the start of an improvement.
I picked up a MB a while back and was content. Played the game for a while and noticed it just didn't have the "bang" that some of my other games do. So....off to redoing it!
The cabinet needed new decals in my opinion. I put the game on on blocks and started tearing it off....
A shot of the tear down....
In the process of sanding and painting and did a shot of the stripped cabinet...
While I am doing the sanding, took all the metal parts to get chromed (coin door, side rails, lock down, side brackets, bolts, etc) and started to work on he head of the cab. I didn't take too many pictures at this stage...here is the final shot of the left side...
So, from here, the fun of sanding and painting.
I am going to do the cabinet in a blue/purple mix inside and out. I decided to paint the back the natural black. Kind of interesting what the inside of the cabinet will look like when it's completed...
It's going to take a few weeks for me to get the cabinet correct. Needs to be perfect, right? Plus, in the cooler weather, I figure it will take about a week to fully dry before reinstalling the insides.
The fun part will be cleaning the parts to go back in!
