Firepower
Williams, 1980I'm not positive about this but I think that the wheels that have been attached to the bottom of the legs may have had something to do with this injury. I'm considered replacing the back panel, also thought about using a piece of angle iron to somehow join the two corners together but that doesn't leave room for the bolts does anyone have any ideas on this?
Yikes, that looks pretty nasty. I'll be watching this one to see how you tackle it. Wish I had some suggestions, but my woodworking skills are terrible. I'd end up with a bondo mess on that, no doubt.
looks like a rat ate it! Replacing the whole panel might be the way to go..? SUre some of the cabinet restore guys will pipe in.
Yes we would replace the panel. If you need it repaired for you just contact us at Little Shop of Games in Fruitland Park, Fl
Quoted from bdPinball:swapping it out for my laser cue cabinet
that sounds like more work
Quoted from cosmokramer:you can easily make a replacement using the existing panel as a template...I did one for my pinbot in about an hour...
Yep, a template bit on a router can duplicate that piece in seconds.
Here is how I used it on a SG:
Also. In regards to putting the firepower in the laser cue cabinet, it looks like it would be possible but there are some changes / modifications that would need to be done. To start with, I guess between firepower and laser cue, LC has its transformer I the head instead of the cabinet, so when I went to plug in the wires, some of the power connections were already plugged in!! So, I'm not sure what to do. I guess repair they're power cabinet, put it back together and find a board repair guy who loves system 7!!
Quoted from Homepin:I would repair the damaged cabinet.
You know somebody, like your fatherinlaw, who has a tablesaw and a router.
As soon as you tell them it's for a pinball machine, they will force you to listen to their "pinball story", but in trade, they will help you make a new panel in only a few minutes.
Quoted from bdPinball:So finally tonight, I got paint to cover this. What's the adage? mask twice, paint thrice??
Prime once with highbuild primer, sand to remove woodgrain print through, then paint.
Mask whole cab to prevent overspray.
"Oh crap! Those were the last Humpty Dumpty Prints in the world!!"
Hahhahaha -- I work at a place with a blueprint printer. We throw away so much of that paper it's not funny. These particular prints were from when I had a Captain Fantastic, and you know how those prints will come as a PDF, but the plotter software doesn't want to print that to extents to a D size print, or at least without a lot of fiddling with margins and whatnot- So I had printed it about 10 times. Then, instead of throwing it out, I was using it for pin ideas and whatnot as you can see from the left panel on that first shot. Don't worry, no pristine pinball schematics were destroyed in the masking of this fine firepower machine!
When you post pics of your games and stuff, or things you are working on, you don't usually scan the background for incriminating objects, or other embarrassing things that might be caught on camera. At least I don't!!
