So I picked up a very nice but well worn Mousin' Around a little while back. Rather than do a full shop log I thought maybe a bit of before and after would make a change.

Playfield was down to the bare wood in parts, but easily fixed with a complete strip down and a hardtop:

The backbox was also pretty badly faded, but easily fixed with new decals:

as was the main cab:

New yellow T molding to replace the original red T molding which always struck me as odd

and we have ourselves a nearly good as new Mousin' Around - just waiting for new side rails...

Awesome work 👍👍👍
 
Nice 😍 mine also is on the to do list, its a near immaculate playfield but faded cab. Got the decals though 👍
 
I agree it’s a great game. Very addictive.

I never really knew how to deal with the edges once decals were on so before I decalled this machine I watched a great video by tattyadams on YouTube which showed me how to use a straight edge to cut a mil or so off the edge, leaving the black paint beneath.

Thanks @Matt Adams !
 
Hidden gem . Transporters is the only system 11 that eludes me . And Atlantis which is hybrid 6803/11
 
Brilliant job all round ,how on earth did you get that worn artwork back to looking like it came out of the factory? lovely looking machine
 
Cheers mate, I always wondered if anyone watched them :rofl: glad it helped :thumbs:
The one where you re-decalled IJ? Count me as another helped - admittedly a decal job on a vpin and a homebrew sega rally mame driver, but a decal is a decal and it was a very helpful video!
