looking very nice indeed. I gave the siderails on my sinbad a sand as well. They were not showing rust but some spots of discoloration (maybe rust was there b4). I did my outside of the coin door as well, and yep they come-up great.
Small things like this make a huge difference. I'm going to replace all the siderail nails. They look terrible after a regraining..
Update
Great News...
After installing the mains plug - She fires up - Just the transformer board and ALL voltages are present + ~10% without load. VERY PLEASED.
The transformers are SUPER quiet.. No hummmmm at all !
Now I'm moving on to the head..
Great to hear Nino. Looking forward to the next update.
