Some Pics & Progress

With the cabinet on the way I found myself over on the KLOV site looking for parts.
I've got a source for T-molding off Ebay, but can't order yet as I don't know the width of this cabinet. Sideart is on order (well, will be shortly) I'm just waiting on my printer to return from vacation.

Over on KLOV I was able to purchase my plastics, a really nice looking bezel, marquee, and populated control panel. I've got the control panel stripped and started painting it tonight. By tomorrow I'll give it a few more coats of paint then clear coat it with some Krylon triple thick.

I used my wire wheel brush to remove the rust from the existing bolts, I'll also clear coat them. All my plastics have been polished with Nuvos and I'm very happy with the shape of all of them. Some obvious wear spots, but that is to be expected on parts that are 30 years old.

I've also cleaned up and polished my buttons. The buttons had some wear around the outside, but I was able to sand off the extra plastic. A lil Nuvos also helped bring these back to life with a nice shine.

I should have the control panel done this week, that way I can set it aside.

I'll move onto the PC shortly.

The idea is to do what I can so that when I get the cabinet I can simply do the body work, paint, then get everything into it quickly.
