The Simpsons Arcade Machine Restoration - Part 5 - Project Complete!
The restoration is finally done and I'm completely beat. It's roughly 20 degrees hotter in my garage than it is outside due to having no exhaust in there so most of the work that it took to get to this point was working in the garage at roughly 120 degrees. I don't think I've drank as much water in my life as I have over the last few days. Anyway, it turned out beyond expectations. Nothing award-winning, but very pleased with the turnout. Here's the full breakdown...
-) Complete tear down
-) Monitor cleaned/repaired/spruced up
-) LOTS of bondo work to fix the damaged bottom and corners of the cabinet and other areas that were water damaged and rotten
-) Cleaned the cabinet inside and out
-) Complete exterior sanding with 80 grit followed with 220 grit
-) Re-painting of the cabinet (inside and outside where needed)
-) Full new artwork package
-) Coin doors disassembly and sanding/primering/clear coating the rusted coin boxes
-) Coin doors painted
-) New power supply
-) New isolation transformer
-) Free Play rom installed
-) New T-molding
-) Wiring harness(es) tied up, routed, and secured
-) All new hardware
-) New buttons
-) New switches
-) New joysticks
...and probably a bunch of other stuff I'm forgetting. Thanks for watching and I'm going to get cleaned up and sleep for two days.
