| Well I decided to do the IPB cabinet sticker install on an
Adams Family over vacation. Give me a little something to keep busy with ;-)
First I disassemble the unit thoroughly taking everything off and out. Here I'm
starting to pry the old rails off. After that I should be ready to begin prepping
the cabinet. |
 |
| The artwork on this adams is in decent shape but the cabinet
is sprung in about 9 places and in pretty rough shape. Since this game will have an
NOS clearcoated playfield, new plastics, and basically "the works" the cabinet
should be as close to perfect as possible. |
 |
| You can see leg wear down to the wood and I'll show some of
the better damage up close in the next couple of pics. |
 |
| Everywhere there is a corner has problems |
 |
| Here you can see the delaminating of the plywood in a fairly
good sized piece. One way to fix would be to glue the original piece . . . I opted
to tear the piece off and bondo the gap back to perfect. |
 |
| You can see the indentations from the legs are fairly
pronounced. Also this game has holes drilled for a lock bar. Since this game
will be sold to a customer that hole will get filled. |
 |
| Along one side someone put in a series of drywall screws to
hold the cabinet together. These will be removed and the cabinet fixed. |
 |
| Here it is with the rails gone. The rails were removed
agressively hence the art damage . . . Since I'm replacing it all anyway I didn't bother
to be careful :-) |
 |
| Alot of the two sided tape always seems to stay on the
cabinet which is additional fun to be sure. |
 |
| Now I get down to business. There are about 15 drywall
screw holding this cabinet together from all directions. With the cabinet sprung so
badly in so many ways it will require some serious work to whip it into shape. |
