I've never heard of oven cleaner, seemed to have worked well!
Have you tried CitraStrip? Works great and no fumes, can even use it inside!

Quoted from dudah:Have you tried CitraStrip? Works great and no fumes, can even use it inside!
Never tried it. I like the oven cleaner because it's not too aggressive.
Quoted from Jjsmooth:Rudy's rehab is complete[quoted image][quoted image]
You dont paint the little eyelash egdes?
How did the decal application go? I'm looking to do this whole process to the cabinet of one of my games and I'm interested to see the final results and know where you go the decal!
I'm waiting on replacement decals now.
Owner made mistake of supplying decals from Classic Arcades...what was supposed to be the blue color was almost purple. What was supposed to be red was orange.
Sent them back.
Quoted from Jjsmooth:Laid down nice. Decal will be trimmed with exacto and straight edge about 1/8" from edge of cabinet all around.[quoted image]
Nice work!

Dry method I see, did you use to do wet but got so good at it you don't need to anymore?
Quoted from bobukcat:Dry method I see, did you use to do wet but got so good at it you don't need to anymore?
I did do wet awhile back, but umm, yeah..
Seriously tho, I recommend dry, as long as u can control the decal. Dont let it touch the cabinet until u want it too.
The straight edge is key (or have a helper).

No upgraded cabniet braces? 
Quoted from mollyspub:No upgraded cabniet braces?
These looked like they were put on by owner in last 6 months. Like new. Same amount of thread in brace type mounts. And this cabinet is solid, needs no extra bracing, so no need to waste owners $.
Quoted from Jjsmooth:Gots to have a super fancy squeegee too..[quoted image]
I love that!
Paid extra for the blue tape...

Holy cow that head looks amazing! deja vu 1990
Dumb little question: how did you remove/reattach the label on the backbox door after you painted the door?
Note to the guy selling the $7k fun house, this is how you restore a machine and justify that price!!
Great work! Did you just not finish a dinner?

I bought a set after seeing them in the ops dinner restro thread, they are fantastic and he will edit the serials for you as well so they are correct for your machine 
Quoted from Jjsmooth:Side rails held in place with tape, as owner will replace with powder coated ones later.[quoted image]
what led bulbs do you use? do you install ledocd as well?
Budapest
Quoted from Jjsmooth:I prefer 2smd warm white in GI, and incandescents in all controlled lighting.
No led boards needed when done this way.
Unless you would not like to see the GI dimming feature - for example before multiball. Without GIOCD board, you will loose the dimming effect.
