Sprigg!! I just got you some laminate samples the other day. Just need to make sure I got the right one. Will probably check it in the next couple of days.

Installed T-molding on the front (I only have enough on hand to do the front and still haven't got around to ordering more!) Also, big progress - got a PCB set working! I've actually been playing it a little bit, just to test the PCB's of course. Started installing the base molding. Also, laminated and blocked the new front panel. I really need to get the t-molding ordered today. I might be wrapping this up by Thanksgiving!

It's very, very close. Basically I need to install the molding and boombox sides, and do the 3 new overlays.

It'll be weird having no projects in the queue! BUT GOOD.

Installed the base molding (no pics yet). Very hard to bend and hard to handle, but once it's pounded in, it looks awesome! I got it from Dave at RAM Controls.

Some pics of the new front panel.

Update. I'm using the tinted glass from Shardian's old game, since it appears to be original, tempered, and in nice condition. It has a very slight tint. The monitor tube and bezel can still be seen clearly through the tint.

Keep in mind, there may have been differences in production runs... I just wanted to update with what I'm using.
