Well, I keep this initial post short and I actually just create this to put some pressure on myself to, after 13 years of having them in storage, finally put them into a state they actually deserve to be in. This is going to be a sporadically updated thread since my game room is not in the city where I live but rather in my home town.

I am currently in the process of gathering most of the parts that I need to bring them back to their original glory. Like sticks, buttons and stuff like foam rubber sealing bands (lol?). But today marks the day I finally dropped them off at the metal workers to get rid of all the custom security bolts and weld the holes close that those will leave behind and remove some stripped screws I wasn't able to remove and I didn't want to ruin the thread for them. Additionally they will try to get rid of all the dents these things came with... and there are quite a few.

One project I might need help with will be the head phone pcb that came with these cabs (apparently used in some Top Landing cabinets if some has a spare flying around). One of mine came with one but it was cracked right in the middle and did not work even after we tried to put it back together. To layman's eyes it looks like a simple enough repro job for someone who's played with eagle and that kind of software before... but I literally have no idea how to approach that. Attached some pics and grateful for any help :)

With that being said - let's do this.

Next step: picking up the metal parts and drop them off at the sandblaster / powder coater.
