Progress on the Xevious
We had a Discover gift card from last Christmas, and we had to go to Menard’s on Saturday so I decided to pick up the industrial liquid container of Goof Off. I worked on the top corner of the game, just scraping off a little bit to see how I would apply it and how well the liquid worked. Pretty much worked the same, and it is difficult to apply but by unit it is cheaper as a larger container.
I was killing some time, so I just took apart some other things. I took out the marquee and chucked it, and used the goo gone on the auction sticker on the plexiglass. I found a major mouse nest behind the marquee that I had to vaccum out, that was fun.
Then I peeled off all of the bowling lane pattern on the wood on the marquee as well as the overlay on the control panel. There was a hack job done to the control panel for sure, some shotty bondo work, and there were a ton of extra holes in the cpanel. I have my work cut out for me if I see this thing through.
Dynamo Cabinet Push Buttons – How to disassemble?
I was dinking around with my Tetris Dynamo cabinet this morning, and I got on a kick to clean the buttons. They have all the dirt and the grim on the sides that make it so they hardly work.
However, after I took the buttons off, they didn’t have the typical bottom where you would have a micro-switch, and I could not for the life of me figure out how to take them apart.
Here are some photos;
Does anyone know what types of buttons these are? They have an “IL” printed on them. I would like to take them apart to clean the buttons up easier.
