Terminator 2 Restoration

[turbo27]

Looking great mate.  One way to lessen the outline effect of the warning text on the rear is to very lightly sand the edges where the tape was then spray with a satin clear. This gives it all a similar sheen

Thanks Rob reckon I might try that

Coming along very nice.  Keep up the great work...

I had the apron done on my T2 by a spray painter mate many many years ago....We cleared over the decals to give it a very nice final finish...

Thanks MartyJ I really did contemplate doing that, have seen it done before and looks great. I havent due to not wanting to bugger up 46 bucks worth of decals with lack at talent

Thanks for your comments...cheers

We have power......and no smoke was released in the process

Cabinet decals applied today with the help of my wife

Didn't take that long to re-assemble the rest, and my 430pm I had it powered.

Almost everything works. Adjustments to lane switches are needed, quite a few not being activated, canon needs adjustment, not re-aligning to the 'home' position, this is an issue from before the resto.

The main one is the audo - works but is cutting in out out.  I reeckon this also was a problem from before (had little time powered before the strip down). Going to try re-burning the rom (including the game rom) to see if this helps. Also keen to try the profanity version (minus the kids)

All in all, I happy 

Better pics to come

The red eyes/speakers look menacing and very very cool indeed

Profanity chip I heard is not much chop. I think it may only have one line fu a-hole and thats it. So it might not be worth the trouble.

Finished Photos.

Game is up and running. Seems to have everything on the playfield working correctly, and from the few games played  - all good.

Was able to diagnose the sound issue, and fortunately in time. Research says if uncorrected this issue could have blown my brand new speaker set. Heap of caps and amp chip have been ordered from Great Plains (eta I'm guessing about 2 weeks)

So with the sound board removed, game play is JUST not the same!
