Now that the painting process is over, I'm ready to electroplate the smaller cabinet parts that I won't be taking to the platers (as they don't do Zinc - and they tend to lose small parts). There are parts that just arrived back from the platers (Nickel) and they look AWESOME. But no photos yet - as "my" plating was finished a week ago. I will expand on my "Backyard Plating" thread soon - as there's a few things I've improved on. Note in these photos, there are parts from a number of games - Not just Embryon.
So we start with the Door. Typical - Coke poured down the coin chute etc etc ..
Disassembly - Man that's bad !
Filthy, stained and rusted.. Would you beleive me if I told you these will look new once I'm done ?
I usually paint the score display mounts. I'm going to try plating them.
My Chemical Lab is open for Business ! This is the 4 Litre kit - Too small for me nowadays, but I need to use it up before I brew a 20 Liter concoction..
Wind forward - and yes - these are the door parts from the previous photo !
Display mounts ;
More parts - the bracket that goes behind the legbolts ;
Various test pieces (I'll explain when I update the plating thread).
The PCB brackets that mount the boards in the headbox ;
More bits from a successful and long session of plating !
Next installment soon !
