Time to rebuild the coin doors.
Unfortunately there were a lot of missing parts when the cab arrived - the switches and lamp holders were present, as was the wiring but no mounting plates or actual reject/entry slots, or any locks.
A rummage through my spares and I couldn't believe that I'd actually kept the exact bits needed from a cab long, long gone!
These things are a pain in the ass to rebuild! Had to take the door off and put it together on the floor, but now it's all in (minus mechs) and I'm very pleased to see it back how it should be.
Metalwork has all been given a fresh coat of matt black paint and looks infinitely better.
Cleaned up, touched up and reattached the monitor shroud.
Top part refitted to cab, makes a massive difference!
Bezel given a good polish with novus and it's come out well.
Time to apply the new CPO.
Get it in to the correct position checking the button holes line up and the edges are straight from top to bottom. I'm happy to see it is the right size with just a few mm overlap on either side.
Move the clips down and cut away a section of the backing paper. Good spray of water then apply, you can peel and stick a few times to get it correctly positioned. Once it's right squeegee out the water.
Once the first section is applied it's easier to do the rest. Take your time on the curves and work a few mm at a time peeling the backing away as you go. Last bit applied and a little bit to trim from the hinges. Move the clips to the top and bottom areas where it's most likely to peel.
Nice new craft blade to cut out the button holes and I can stick everything back together.
Here it was when I got it:
And here it is now:
Control Panel reattached to the cab:
Cash box & service panel mounted. Think I'm about done with this one!
