Been a while between updates but making some good progress.
Next job on the cabinet was to keep sanding, then hit with spray putty, more sanding, then spray a few coats of satin black, inside and out
Then i made a new base to replace the non existing previous one....
While the paint was drying before installing decals, i started cleaning up some of the cabinet hardware and painting the lockdown bar, hinges, bolts etc
Also got my dad up who has helped out cleaning bits and pieces - wiring loom came up great
While still out in the shed, i put the playfield on some sawhorses this time - there is a fair bit of hardware at the top end of the playfield so i couldn't clamp it ti the rotisserie
Started stripping the playfield and cleaning stuff.
In the meantime, installed the decals by the wet method, and am really a huge fan of this way as it is very forgiving. Trimmed all the edgesm the brought the fresh cabinet and headbox inside, definitely looks a little better than when it started!!
