After debating on repainting the cabinet I decided it was needed. Would much prefer a decent original but when the entire head had been repainted poorly, body front repainted, side red & blue partially repainted there is not much left of originality. This is my first cabinet repaint, first attempt at stencil making/painting.

Cat had to check out the inside of the cabinet just like every other machine I have had sitting with the neck hole open.100_7764.jpg100_7764.jpg

Test run of webbing. Lower section is close (switched to a finer spray tip), just need a little thicker mix and less wind swirling around to get it longer (I think).

Webbing done. I think it looks real close to the small amount original surviving webbing I had to compare to.

Back together, Playfield just received a thorough cleaning/waxing. cleaning of pretty much every part, screw, washer, bracket upon reassembly.
