Thanks guys, I have the CPR playfield, plastics and back glass to go with this machine so I'm keen to have everything as nice as possible before I install. The lower playfield is ready to go on the rotisserie but I'm trying not to lose focus on the more mundanity task of cleaning the existing assembly's and parts before I really get cracking on it.
My cabinet is solid enough but has a lot of ply starting to delaminate on the corners which I imagine is fairly typical of a 33 year old cabinet. Also a fair bit of swelling on the MDF panels on the back of the machine so I'm thinking about replacing the entire cabinet. Not because it's falling apart but because i just figure if I'm going to do all this work and sit this machine in my house i want it to be the very best i can make it. Art works not original either, not that that matters as I have the stencils and I'd have resprayed it any way.

Cabinet as is



Playfield on the rotisserie ready to go. I had this made so it the working height is standard workbench height of 900mm. It also breaks down into 6 component pieces so it doesn't take up much room when not in use.
