First I stripped the buttons and joystick from the panel. Never mind, drill the rivets out and use 2 pot wood filler:
#STARGATE ARCADE CONTROL PANEL CRACK#
One of the plastic coin slot frames has a crack and two ugly rivets in it: Take the coin mech's off the back, coil slots and coin returns off: Poke them into some cardboard so the paint isn't sprayed onto the threaded portion: Never mind, use a rotary wire wheel and scotch brite. These bolts have quite a bit of corrosion on them: Using wood glue and clamps, we'll straighten out that rear plywood: Will have to use wood fill to make up for those chunks of wood missing, also need to remove the stickers, don't want to paint over them:īack door has seen better days but we'll pretty that up a bit too.Ĭabinet handle is a bit rusty, we can make that look new again. Wood has delaminated a bit, probably due to being dragged on it's back:
Here's the next stage: removed the monitor and tube, speaker panel, marquee, control panel, coin door, and money box. These work well on carpet and I assume on all floor types. Furniture can then move about without modifying the legs. They also make a hollow type (like an upside down frisbee)so that existing legs can fit into them. They are available in several sizes at Bunnings, these are the biggest size.
I'd love something like that for my games that would work on a Lino floor. I've got a new control panel overlay (thanks, Rat!), new locks and t-molding. I intend to strip it down and repair/recondition/repaint etc. The cabinet restoration was always on the back burner but I've finally got motivated and want to finish it off in the next few weeks in time for Pincade. I've had this Stargate working for several years now.
