Unbelievably awesome restoration, Chance! That T&F is absolutely beautiful.

This is Not a rebuild this is work of Art !!!!! ❤️

[@Chancekj]

Haha. Thanks ☺️

[@kenpirr3246]

Great job...would love to find one of these in this shape

[@delsarcade]

Nice job. Love the video style! And the Dynamat install at 3:29 under the CP is the same thing I did on my Gaplus to cut down on the fire button sound. (I thought I'd be original, and crazy, for doing that. Glad someone else though if it too!)

[@chaddentandt9868]

Did I see a spare key placed in the marquee area? Good idea and I will remember this. Great looking game. 👍

[@Chancekj]

You absolutely did. Haha it’s something I do for all my games not on location. You’re the first person to comment on me doing that, like ever. Haha.

Super nice video, and what a fantastic end result! Love the keyring board too! Lovely work.

[@markbevere9034]

amazing job. thx for the entertaining video.

[@Chancekj]

Thanks Mark, figured we’d try something different for this one. Glad you enjoyed it. ☺️

Looks great. Where did you find bezel and plexi

[@markbevere9034]

where can I get those keychains? love the idea.

[@Superdimensional]

Why didn’t you do a full 360 walk around at the end? Missed opportunity 😒

[@chadmichael7198]

My new favorite channel! Any chance you guys have a resource for lowboy plans? Also, interesting idea on the Dynamat. What would you say it helps with?

[@TheCanadianArcade]

Thanks! No source on the plans i'm afraid. The Dynamat definitely helps with the overall vibration of the panel when you're playing an intense game.

[@Superdimensional]

Oddly satisfying to watch

[@markbevere9034]

Where do you get those keychains?

[@Chancekj]

We made them! ☺️ we have a video on the channel showing you how.

[@therexershow]

Love the channel , my next big project is building this cab from scratch so I will have plenty of questions. I would like to start procuring parts now , would love some guidance. Do you know where I could get a metal CP for the Track n field. I could make a wood one but I don’t know how I would get my buttons in there since I have the correct leaf switch buttons. Also , the plexiglass bezel (or was it tempered glass tinted) , where did you pick that up from ?

[@TheCanadianArcade]

Thanks! I'd also check KLOV and some of the Facebook groups, there are a TON of people restoring this cab right now so parts are out there. The display is tinted plexiglass that we picked up at a local plastics supply company who cut it to size.

@@TheCanadianArcade I just started watching part 2 , you said your making repros of the control panel ? I’m buyin if so.

[@TheCanadianArcade]

@@therexershow We had been, however they have since sold out.

[@therexershow]

@@TheCanadianArcade got the guy on KLoV to hook me up. I have a question though. I was looking at some blueprints and noticed some pieces are 1/2 inch. Are the main parts 3/4 or 5/8 inch ? Would also like to know your preference on type of wood when building cabs , MDF , MDO, Birch? Other?

[@Chancekj]

@@therexershow I’d say go by the plans on Classic Arcade Cabinets .com. They seem to be the best. Original can is prelaminated particle board. I think its 3/4 but I’d have to triple check
