First Things First

After cleaning out Howard's garage, I get to work...


The cabinet in all its £20 Glory

Taking the cabinet apart, I found a British Penny (Dated 1998), a Danish Kroner (Dated 1982) and a nice friendly spider living in the speaker rack.

A few hours later, some Jif and a ton of elbow grease, I have a nice clean cabinet.


Stripped and Cleaned. Compare the colour of the inside to the image before!

A few things to mention:

• Speakers are intact and look ok to reuse.
  
• A Jamma credit board was found inside the coin door and shall be put to use later.
  
• The cabinet appears to have been kicked thus damaged (right of the bottom coin door), it has been repaired but the paint is a bit "off colour".
  
• I was going to repaint the cabinet, however it cleaned up really nice, so I think i'm just going to touch it up.
  
• The buttons and Joysticks are (in my 'professional' opinion) too far gone, so replacements will need to be bought.
  

There was also a coin counter, which has over 100,000 on it - at 20p a game (according to the sticker on the front of the cabinet), the machine has brought in over £20,000.
I shall be noting down the exact figure, sticking it to the counter and the counter will be put back in - continuing it's life in this arcade machine :)
