As I got her, looking very sad and smelling very unpleasant.
Starting to strip it down.
Side art had seen better days sadly, the whole case was covered in scuffs and scratches.
MMMM JDM grot.
All the metal was stripped out and given a good polish.
All the doors and trim were in a sad state so went off for powdercoating.
Pressure washer time, grot removal.
Squeaky
Scrubbed the loom, nearly a whole packet of wet wipes.
Wish I took a picture of the chassis before cleaning, was like a birds nest of dust hair and stale smoke. Came up well.
Started rebuilding, looking much better.
Powder coating done, really pleased with the color match and quality.
Adjusted the coin mec to take 100 yen again and put it back together.
Next step was applying the new side art and sanding the control panel painting and applying new art. I didn't get pictures of all of this but will share the finished ones shortly.
