Sega Astro Questions

Post by trev1976 »

Couple of questions about my Astro.

I've noticed some holes in the doors and CP ,are these ment to be there from factory ? Looks like there used to get into the cab if you lose the key. I was thinking of filling them.

Also my instruction space glass is in pretty good nick but some of the silver paint is scratched off so I was thinking of removing it. Is that a good idea ? Anyone done it ? If so what did you use ?

Holes are there from factory.

I wouldn't bother with the paint. Doesn't the metal bracket go over it?

OK thanks. I'll leave all the holes then.

No unfortunately the brackets don't quite cover the scratches ,maybe I'm being to fussy lol

You can touch up the paint with a silver pen. This thread has details of one that's a good match: http://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic. ... 95#p308395
