Today i accompanied my wife for some shopping at the local discounter store
"Action" I spotted some fotoframes, and bought the A4 size, that will fit good i think..
That's what i need, The price was ok, it cost me a whopping 89 Eurocents
See , fits like a glove
Next up, the inner bezel, before i will do the cardboard, i was thinking how to make that fit nicely on the tube side, and i discovered that on the real Pong cabinet it is taped to the front of the tv, so that gave me the idea to use the original front of the tv.
What will fit better than the original right
Let's make some adjustments to that part so i can install that on the tube.
Got a grinderwheel in the dremel, and i am ready to cut..
Hmm, that does not smell good, it melts..
Lets switch the blade for something more nasty, a mini saw !
That did the job
Fits good..
Because its a bit of grey, i prepped the cover by cleaning it, now ready for some shots of Black spray paint
One...
Two...
And three coats done
Next up, the sides of the front with woodgrain vinyl
Although this is the last vinyl session, its also the more tricky with the angles..
A little piece of cardboard as a template helps alot !
After applying..
The little helper liked the leftovers of vinyl, and pasted them to the back of my shirt as i was working
And this is how it looks now, i placed the top on it for the pic, will attach that at last to prevent damage..
Almost there..
Things to do:
Backdoor latch and key
(T)moulding
painting the inside of the bezelwindow yellow
paint the upper and lower back in black
Attach the Alu serial sticker on the back
fix the glass to the bezel
cardboard inner bezel
i hope i did not forget anything in this list
Ah yeah... Play it ofcourse
