thanks matey!!! its only the 3rd one ive done but I find each time I shop one it gets more and more detailed to the point of being silly!!! lets see how the cab turns out cos that is a bit of a mess!!!
OP
OP
Well its been a while guys with winter and all that !!! but started a bit of work on the cab today. Here is the front panel before and after a serious sanding. So far this is just 80 & 120 grit - save the 240 finish until it has been filled and sanded again.
Before
And after
Cab bottom was horrid here is a shot half done
And finished looking a lot sweeter !!!
And a shot of cab all sanded ready to start filling tomorrow
Tried sanding the inside bottom of the cab but a waste of time so think I might go for the overlayed mdf sheet fitted into the bottom unless anyone has any better ideas ?
Cheers Kev

Filled the cab today and as you can see it needed quite a bit !!!
pinged off a knackered side rail from inside the cab and this is what was on the other side - which of you bright sparks can tell me which machine this chunk of ply came from ????

could be? I don't know, but guess they must of cut cabs up that weren't perfect for side rails etc !!!!
Yes, that'a bit of Dr. Who woodwork. It was quite common in the Wpc era to find re-cycled bits of previous games inside the cabinet, and not always with the artwork concealed either.

cheers interesting stuff !
OP
OP
RIght guys needs some advice here - put the apron back on the playfield on WH20 tonight and notice something strange - the hangars don't line up with the holes on the apron so you have to bend it up to get them to align and I noticed from an original pic when I got it that it
was like this. I assume this cant be right?? do you get different size hangers for playfields as these would appear to big ?
See pics below
Original before I started work on it - you can see the gap between playfield and apron
And tonight when I have put it back on just looks wrong to me ??
Thanks in advance
Cheers Kev

Yes you can get different size hangers - i think there were a shorter and a longer set - cant remember which was which now - Are these the original ones you started with?
OP
OP
yes Paul these are what was originally on, but it doesn't mean to say they are the correct ones.
Cheers Kev
Thats perfectly correct for a Wh20 the apron may look wrong but it's correct.
So, don't change the hangers.

really? looks weird and the fact you have to forcefully bend it to get the screws in !!!
