The next part wasn't easy, the front left corner had been bust off at some point and been repaired, didn't notice when I bought it, so another surprise to sort
They couldn't even get it straight and I have no idea why the holes
wasn't sure how I could sort this other than a better bit of wood, good thing when you've had a few machines, always have some wood to use, even better when it's got the vinyl that just about matches, annoying when you probably had some exact stuff but throw it away because of space issues
If I'd make any mistakes with this, I'd end up cutting more and more off the original side, luckily it went well, cut it bigger to start and then trim it down till it fits perfect, it's getting the right angle though
Fix it in place with wood dowels, once side is on again it will have more wood dowels through the inside but needs to be strong
Getting there
Corner done, then still slot to cut and holes on inside for dowels
Doesn't blend in too bad, not much else can be done unless you recover all the wood but I'm happy with it. I do most of my work on the patio area, like lately were having all this rain, it means I can't get stuff done, my dad says why not do all the work in the shed, with the stuff in there and all the other tools, arcade spares etc it would be very difficult, so roof over patio and I could carry on if it was raining, plus I don't want everthing covered in wood or metal shavings and how can you lay an arcade machine out, rebuild and stand up, better outside plus you have perfect light to see as well
Now most of the bad parts sorted I can start to rebuild it, before this stage it had sat for about 2 years,
amazed it was that long but I had sorted another machine out first and then been doing engine swaps on cars as well
for the rebuild I needs to be indoors, so big sheet of wood to put side on. Could do without this amount of work on a cab but always seem to end up with the real bad stuff, not so bad when it's decent price, happy to save these really beat up machines though and make them something half reasonable again.
The first Jamma cab I had to do this, was from the tip and the guy there dropped it, then he got lads to move it and they used forklift, so it was falling apart like this was, so did same and flat packed it and in the car it all went, then I rebuilt it in my back bedroom
shame I didn't take pics of it, like this also it had damaged parts so had to come apart to be fixed
