I have put off starting this one for a little too long, and as I had a question from another member, I thought "now is the time".
I don't have many pictures yet of the outside - here are some from when it was being moved.
As you can see, cabinet art is terrible, but the wood itself is reasonably solid, needs plenty of filling, clamping etc before even starting on tackling paint/art etc. That's way off into the future - tackling the mechanical and electronic issues first...
It's an early production one, so has the extra flashers on the top-right of the playfield, clear back flashers, clear centre beacon, and (unfortunately) the older display - more on that in the near future..
After the initial wiping and cleaning the inside of the cabinet a little (microfibre cloth and hand-helf vacuum only), I tackled the beacons. The belts missing and bulbs were both the wrong type and also blown, which isn't surprising as someone put 12v bulbs in there. That worked out nicely as you can see. The beacon covers need more cleaning but I'm quite wary that the plastic may have become brittle over the years, so may be safer not to do any more with them.
