So, let's add some photos to the plasti-dip discussion..
Lock lever removed from game, note the lack of the yellow insulating sleeve. In earlier WPC games, the sleeve did not exist, and there were issues. Funhouse had an issue where the coin door GI shorted against the bracket, and ate fuses.
Measuring up the original damaged cover
Once the part is dipped, it has to hang to dry. You need to wait 30 minutes between coats, and 4 hours to dry before touching.
So, I took a couple drywall screws, and ran them into my workbench to hold the part directly above the concrete floor - should the plasti-dip drip, it will be easy to clean up on concrete.
Then, I test fit the part, to make sure my hanging arrangement would work
First coat applied
First coat after 30 minutes
2nd coat applied
Finished product, after waiting 4 hours from 2nd coat:
A 3rd coat might have been nice, 2 was pretty dang close on thickness and had adequate coverage. I decided that I'd stick with 2, would hate to do a 3rd and have something go wrong. Color is pretty close, too.
Close up
Reinstalled
Note: I removed the screws from the front of the workbench when I was finished - they would do a pretty ugly number on my shins if I walked into them - and with my luck, I *would*!
