Thanks! Working on this one now. It's a BloodStorm I recently acquired along with the Galaga. It wasn't in too bad of shape. Everything works. It's a conversion in a Dynamo cabinet that used to be a Double Dragon II (refer to the first pic below). I began with laying the cabinet down and touching up the sides as best as I could. There are still a few spots in the red and white areas that I need to touch up, but overall it's pretty good. I am not going to try and make this a 'masterpiece.' Just give it a good overall reconditioning.
I replaced the T-molding, cleaned up the inside of the cab and replaced the original power supply (it was causing monitor interference and the board was resetting). After installing a replacement power supply, the interference went away and the board stopped resetting. I also spent a fair amount of time cleaning the tube and the glass as they had 10 years of warehouse dust and grime on them. The marquee didn't light up so I simply replaced the bulbs and now it lights up nice and bright.
I got the monitor all adjusted for color and position. It's looking great and the whole cabinet is pretty much done. I still need some new locks though. I'm currently working on the control panel, getting it cleaned up and all that but I'm still waiting on new sticks and buttons....

My favorite was the '69 Boss 429 NASCAR spec! I'd post pics but can't on my iPhone and this app!
