I am starting this thread to document my restoration of a Universal Zero Hour.
This started here - https://forums.arcade-museum.com/threads/universal-zero-hour-empty-cab.501354/
I have the cabinet paid for but now need to get it. I could make the drive but need my trailer and the weather is kind of a mess right now. I will have some other posts related to actually getting it. I also have to pick up a Taitronics cab from VA for what will be a Lupin III creation.
In the meantime:
1. I have a marquee I got from Ebay. See the attached pics. Great shape overall.
2. @TSB has Universal stuff he is going to send to me. This includes the control panel, wiring harness, and coin door. TSB - please post some pics here when you get a chance.
3. https://forums.arcade-museum.com/threads/deconverting-zero-hour-and-reproducing-the-art.356802/ - tells me the artwork exists. @GeorgeGlass - please reach out. Worst-case scenario I have to go to Funspot (which is closer to me than actually getting the cabinet) and take a lot of pictures to see if someone can print sometime for the upper bezel. I HAVE AN EXTRA COSMIC ALIEN UPPER BEZEL IF SOMEONE WANTS TO TRADE.
4. I am sure I am going to need folks like @rotheblog to snap some pics of their cabs and provide feedback. I have a Devil Zone, Cosmic Avenger, and Cosmic Alien so I should be OK but I never know.
That is it for now.
I have to actually get the damn cabinet now
