Well, I started sifting through my old computer stuff and found some old videos I had on YouTube a long time ago... I figure that they might inspire a new generation of collectors to restore old games some might consider to be worthless.
So, here is a set of videos depicting the restoration of a Gottlieb Pink Panther cabinet... enjoy! And yes... I am a moron. LOL I like making them funny...
Part 1... the Stink Panther...
Part 2... getting there...
Part 3... LOOKING GOOD!!!!

Wow, nice job, Sparky! That is a truly tasteful cabinet artwork update. They should have used artwork like that from the factory!

I actually have done A LOT of custom jobs like this over the years. I have something like 200 videos. I will post a couple. And I intend on still doing some. Working on a few right now...some rethemes, some custom.DrDude wrote:Wow, nice job, Sparky! That is a truly tasteful cabinet artwork update. They should have used artwork like that from the factory!

This is great.
What are you using to spray? Do you do that inside?

HVLP gun and a good compressor. I do it in my 12x12 which I nearly doubled in size, insulated, heated and added a ventilation system. But I do tend to get lazy and not wear my mask. Lolshovelhed wrote:This is great.
