Awesome Jeff! I would like to see a video of you building the power supply section of a cabinet. That looks fantastic! Would also like to see how you build molex connectors.
Ahh yes!. When I do my next restore, which looks like it's going to be Phoenix, (see new video) :) I'll make sure to outline the t-molding groove process. :)
I'm going to keep the CP the way it is because I think it's rare, but I will have to find another control panel for the game that I can put a new overlay on. Hehe... I'm in the other camp... of everything needs to look new ;) (I'm sorry) :)
Great video, keep em coming. Binge watching all your restoration playlists ATM. I need more contenttttt lol. Converting that machine back into The Pit would be cool imo.
Hey found your links in the forum. I got my first project to restore for a friend I'm a carpenter by trade. Question; when restoring cabinet water damage lower bottom. Do you rebuild case or just rebuild bottom. I'm excited for this project
Hi there! It depends on the amount of water damage, I guess. Sometimes I will cut off the bottom of the cab and other times I'll just build a new cab. Usually if there is a lot of mold and the cabinet is not a complicated one, I'll just build entire new cab. Here is a link to a Defender cabinet that I cut the bottom 12" off and rebuilt that area. 1drv.ms/f/s!AhzU6GuVSfQJlJ4-_oVO8ke5RYXsXQ?e=Bq3Ew6
Originally, I thought the wood grain was vinyl, but it is actually laminate, so it's basically like your kitchen countertop..... so it can withstand heat from a heat gun and other adhesive removers, without any damage.

Thank you! Good ideas. Will do!
It was Me who asked about filling the T-molding groove. Thanks for doing this!!!

Nice work. I'm definitely in the camp of keeping the wear & tear on these old cabs so im glad your keeping that cp as it is :)

Nice!
From everything I could find I believe you have the right joystick.
Thank you for the confirmation. That is what I thought.
You gotta return it to The Pit. That would be awesome!
Thank you! That's the plan!
This is inspiring me to restore my Pole Position 2.
Excellent! Bring that PP2 back to life!
There is a The Pit in Shreveport for sale with complete side art and control panel. I’d love to buy it, but it’s a 12 hour total trip.
Ahh nice. I recently picked up an amazing condition The Pit back in November. Such a great game.

Jeff, how did you remove the old Time Pilot side art without damaging the original wood grain underneath?
Originally, I thought the wood grain was vinyl, but it is actually laminate, so it's basically like your kitchen countertop..... so it can withstand heat from a heat gun and other adhesive removers, without any damage.
@@WWJKD1 thanks Jeff for getting back I appreciate it. What adhesive remover did you use & did you use a plastic scraper to remove the art?
I just used a heat gun to get the art off and Goo Gone to get the remaining adhesive off.
Can confirm Vanguard never had a Monroe stick.
Thank you for the confirmation. That is what I thought.
