What's new

Aero City - flooded, forgotten, found.

I got the top rear panel back as well. I was excited to get a bunch of new anodised washers in the mail too - but they’re the wrong size again and don’t seat the screws property. The data sheet had the dimensions I needed but the actual washer countersunk bit is smaller than stated. I put the panel on with them anyway just to see how some other colours look - but they’re protruding too much. The clear nylon washers are a bit chonky as well. I can fix all that in time. The idea with the colours is to match the orange/yellow/blue/black theme of the marquee. I went with a black ali volume knob (which doesn’t do anything in mono config) as well.

That is a very thick coating on that CP, wow. If the doors were similar I'm not surprised they don't quite fit.

Yeah it’s a bit disappointing. I experience that with a lot of service providers these days. It’s hard to find someone who just aces the job you’ve paid them for. If it annoys me I’ll just get the coin box door done again from scratch but go to a different place. Someone has made me a Raiden Fighters PCB support from your design. Thanks for sharing that. I’ll have it next week some time 👍🏼
 
The FG-1E ballast arrived from an EBay seller. I’m happy to say the light works. I tried out the repro marquee holder and it looks nice. Unfortunately there are a few micro scratches on the rear sheet that look like they were formed sitting on grit when they were cutting it out or whatever. They’re harder to see with the light off but with it on they’re obvious. Once I stick something in there it won’t be that bad, but I’ll give feedback to arcadeartrepro about it.

I did some experimentation with the buttons and joystick. I going with colours on the 1P panel to match the Sega marquee. I like these Nobi bullet lever handles from CQB Arcade. Thanks @xb74 - I’m trying out the carbon dust cover as well. I’ll be changing this artwork however to the style below. It will look less like a dick with the buttons in there. Dark pics never come up that well but it looks cool. When all the artwork is on it will look schmick.
