Another 00's MAME Victim - Egret 29 Restore

Waiting for parts to arrive and things to happen, so starting on remaking some of the missing parts on the rustbucket. Never used fusion before, but luckily I don't have to touch the solid tools for quite some time. :) The sheet metal tools are very easy. Many of my parts are still out for sandblasting, so right now I'm just doing whatever I still have here at home that's missing.

I would love to get a copy of this! (need it!)
 
Dude that would take me months to work out fusion to draw those. Nicely done. I think I used those AMP edge connectors for my Exceleena restore. They’re quite fiddly to crimp and you have to be careful handling the pins so as not to damage the springy bit. The worst part for me was that the thicker gauge power wires were a bit big for the pins and I think the bigger pins were hard to find. But you seem covered with pins that are 18-22 AWG. I think I had 20-26 or something. They were $1 AUD each. This is a true restoration and I’m following with interest.
 
I started painted the white parts and they turned out great, using Jenolite RAL9016 matched cans and Spraymax 2K satin automotive clear. I should have the remaining white plastic bits done in the next few days.

I painted the control panel but I was not happy with the finish, so I am in the process of sanding it back down and trying again, but I am a bit burnt out on sanding right now having dumped probably 20 hours into it for multiple projects over the past couple weeks. ||

A very expensive original piece arrived from YAJ. This will be reproduced and the files given out.

I've been making some headway on the control panel model. Still have some bits to change and add and need to triple check the dimensions and hole spacing again, but it's mostly represented now.

A friend of a friend fixed the welds on the main body, so as soon as I can get the bottom control panel housing back from the sand blaster the whole cabinet can go for powder coating.
