SNK SC19-4 restoration (work in progress) Updated 29/3/12

[Rossyra]

They were sent a vector PDF, so if opened at the output resolution it makes no difference at that point, so put your away

[cools]

I wasn't palming at your file

[Rossyra]

I suppose outputting the vector direct leaves nothing to chance, but if that's their normal process I can personally vouch for the quality

Polished the P1, P2 credit display strip looks good.
Have you use first Novus 3 than Novus 2 and Novus 1?

[nvs]

Credit display strip after being polished up with Novus, the security bolts have been polished and the new Seimitsu PS-14DN buttons installed. it looks like a bananna but that's just down to my bad photography it is of course perfectly flat & stright, dont know how that happend:oops: New Year resolution, must learn how to use my camera

I really like the way this came up! One of mine was a bit yellowed and this has given me the inspiration to get busy with Novus at some stage.

Yes that's right, it's the first time I've ever used it, theres a Novus video online so I just followed the steps in the vid

First use Novus 1

Secondly use Novus 3

Thirdly use Novus 1

Fourthly use Novus 2

Finally use Novus 1

The broken plastic end piece for teh cp - you should be able to build a strong un-noticable repair using "milliput" putty. Kern has used it previously to fix a damaged CP and it did a grand job. You will need to then paint it, but better than nowt I reckon.

Thanks a lot for that mate

It's proven to be impossible to find a picture thats not teeny weeny of the marquee so your pictures and the dimentions you have sent me will be really useful for me to get a repro made.

Your marquee looks to be in stunning shape too

I've had a few thoughts regarding how I'm going to tackle this part of the resto, but nothing concrete as I've yet to test out any of my ideas on some scrap plastic (I dont want to dive stright in and eff it up)

One idea was using some kind of clear epoxy (depending on what I have kicking around in the garage) tinted with paint then sand to shape and polish. No idea if tinting the epoxy would even work, I guess it could affect the hardning ooo er

Another was to marry another bit of matching plastic and polish again I don't know how sucessful this would be I guess I could always paint it.

Thanks for the heads up with the Milliput mate. I'll be honest I've never heard of that product before and it sounds like a better idea than my thoughts so I'll be defo checking that out esp as someone else has had good results with it

[Rossyra]

If it was me, I would get a repro printed on vinyl, cut out the windows and attach it to a piece of thin acrylic

[Rossyra]

jase, could you oblige with these measurements too, please?

[Rossyra]

Nice one Ross, your computer skillz are far better than mine!

Just to let you know, on mine the art has been applied behind the perspex screen.
