Williams World Cup (1978) restoration

[infinite1977]

Hey guys, just got the cabinet. As the backglass was worse than what I originally thought I got it a little cheaper again. The sound board was included so I put that in its place. I guess the next step is to start getting the boards and displays. If anyone has any advice as to where to start on this unit feel free. I have no idea. Here are some pics

Looks like a good starting point First thing id be doing is getting a power supply board that way you can make sure you can get power to the game before spending big money on boards.  Ill take a look im sure i have a few spare power supply boards

Sweet, let us know if you find one. Whats the best way to clean the cab? Just to get all that black gunk off? Soapy water and brush, or will that damage the paint work?

A nice summer project - congrats !

I use a bucket of water and some nifti. Use a wet rag, spray on some nifti (on to the rag) and away you go - rinse and spray. Try a few test spots first.

Did you get legs with it ?

All the electronic boards are here - including displays ;

I would probably buy all from one source.

No legs Nino. Yeah I saw the link for the boards. Cheers for that. Will have to save the money and get them all in one hit I think.

Do you need any temporary legs?

I've got a couple of sets down stairs...Chrome or black I think.  They are in fair condition.  Let me know which ones you want and I'll give them to ya!

[infinite1977]

Sweet. I would probably go for the Chrome ones Marty. I am more than happy to pay for them though.

How do I get them from you, can I come and pick them up, from memory your not too far from me.

[MartyJ]

Alrighty, I'll dig em out and drop them off a bit later in the week if OK?  They're for free.  I can't remember if the bright chrome ones or the dull ones are there.  Eitherway no charge, they will get your pin off the ground and thats the main thing.  Bit easier to work on.

PM me your address and we'll tee up a time.

[infinite1977]

Cheers Marty, I really appreciate it. Will send you address now.

Thanks again.

P.S thanks to Marty for the legs, they worked a treat. Next mission, will get on to ddtoys and get a copy of the manual off him :)

Thanks again everyone. Now to begin the clean up and get the thing going.

[MartyJ]

No probs at all.

I reckon the cab should clean up well by looking at those photos.
