Well, I feel kind of dumb...I got PONG working. Turns out two of the wires going to the monitor were reversed...oops. But it's back up and running. I'll finish restoring it eventually. I'm still focused on Attila the Hun right now.
I've decided...for now...that I am going to re-stencil and re-paint the entire game. I figured that since I put all the time and money into making a new backglass, and making the playfield look brand new, I might as well make the entire thing look new. So here's what I have to do on it:
• Install the boards once the repairs are done.
• Scan the artwork and vectorize the scans to have stencils made.
• Replace or attempt to remove the rust on the legs.
• Finish up the backglass in Photoshop and get a new one printed.
• Replace a couple waterlogged pieces of wood on the head.
• Remove rust from coindoor.
• Paint and assemble the finished cabinet.
Wow...that's a lot more than I thought. Looks like this project will drag on a little longer than I had anticipated...oh well, it'll be fun. I'm just very anxious to play it!
On a side note, I'm hopefully going to be purchasing a new video camera soon so I can start getting some videos up on the machines, and do vlogs on the updates...eventually.
