Post by: Hgloth on March 07, 2019, 10:53:02 pm
Since this place seems to be in more positive spirits... think Ill hang around here.

Its kinda fun to see people's work, and Ive done a lot of restoration over the years and followed in some of johns footsteps...

So lets see some beginning and end results.. ill post some of mine here to keep it moving...

Heres the last big project I did. It was a free 3 kaom cab

Wow, that's some beautiful work you did.  Really precise stuff too.  Love that "New For '82!" :D

That's pretty. I'm not going into too many details. I did that over on klov.  This is my Bucky O'Hare built from a very messed up TMNT cabinet. the CPL had been chopped off so I had to find another one.  I had a ton of help with this including John himself.

It's an og board from 1992(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190312/e0300a874dd60b3cceb5e363fe06131f.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190312/cdc2fa996d10a8ad0daf19c2ff5ecba4.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190312/dc509545261f37b4fd30f50f655aa317.jpg)

Before......

After.....

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190313/b89cb380d592b479a7fefa8f6f62baaf.jpg)

New sheet metal...

Then I shortened some shafts from some Dominx8s (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190313/389093fd5fb300e0faf04426cd9c46a1.jpg)

Tapped them and added studs for super short leafs to fit the thin Galaxian panels

This is them assembled...

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190313/3c8ac2c69f110ebd1ce21e6106e1ecf2.jpg)

There was nothing left of the Galaxian so i went with joys instead of the swing switches

You do some amazing work. Looks GREAT!

I have followed you and Shawn W for some time, and Definitely inspired alot of what I have accomplished... I fact you might remember this one when you were at cax with shawn...

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190329/789af1927e98b85e57c03a00a19a3122.jpg)

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190329/937262c84c1181a3201d9b82fb78491a.jpg)

The bezel was Shawns creativity but he lost the files on his computer crash, But JrPac recreated them from the klov thread with shawns permission

Infact the control panel shawn sold me complete for 50 dollars and then spent 28 bucks shipping it to me..

I sure do miss the good old days, but I fell out of that crowd super hard.

My love for arcade machines and playing and restoration will never go away. But I cannot bring myself to log into klov anymore...

I have some fun pictures of you and Koolmo Craig working on a game at cax someplace lol!
