I thought the games came from the factory with different tooth counts on the tighten/loosen gears. My Key West has a fine-toothed gear (the "loosening" gear) with an embossed "3". There is an spare gear screwed to the rear door with an embossed "5," same as shown in the photo above. That gear may be even finer-toothed than the "3" gear - it's hard to tell without having both gears on the workbench.
Quoted from okorange:Computer artwork is completed for the stencils. I use a Canon Lide 220 scanner with the top removed to create scans and then stitch them together, clean up the colors and create the layers. From these samples, I can "stroke" the outsides with black lines and it is easy to cut the stencils out from there with an Exacto. I overlap colors where possible to avoid breaks in the intended scheme as much as possible. The colors represented here are not necessarily the actual colors being laid down, but close.
I'm really enjoying the restoration details you go into and the great photos you post. Can't you work faster so we can see more. 
Did you hold your scanner against the sides of your cabinet before you (more likely an assistant) started the scan software? Or did you somehow lay the cabinet on top of the scanner? Great idea.
