Good news, I found the water slide decals floating around the living room today!





Hope I can get it to Dennis before he's too far into the cabinet resto, I've never tried to do these before so I hope it doesn't give us too much trouble.

Dropped off the decals to Dennis this past weekend, had a look at the cabinet- it's coming along nicely. Stain is on, the cracks from baking in the sun have been repaired, and Dennis told me it will be finished next weekend! All that remains is a trip to the spray booth, and it's done. He was able to get the stain very close to original, it's not too dark or light. My hope is to have the set assembled and running no later than 2 weeks from now, should have pictures of it then.

LoL, if only....



I found this trolling the internet for 15GP22's today, I think it's leftover web garbage from the Ebay listing. 10 bucks would be a hell of a deal, would it not?

Just got back from Milwaukee a little bit ago, picked up the cabinet from Dennis. Looks pretty good, considering what it looked like to start off with.

That cabinet looks awesome!

I'll have to stop by some time to see it once you get it back together.

Time is nigh, Tom.




I think I'll fire it up tomorrow, to see if I can get some correct color bars on it. I jacked the alignment up when I last messed with it, so I'll be stuck using composite input only for the moment. Actually I've been tossing around the idea of converting all my sets in the same fashion, but my increasing skill at using the B&K 415 is making me rethink the idea. I'll give another alignment a go before I make my decision.

Nick,

The set looks amazing, can't wait to see it fully operational with those lovely "Technicolor colors" on the 15GP22!
