Then moved on to repair crumbling corners.
Used wood glue, wood hardener and then nails to reinforce the corner before the P38 came out. Used clamped perspex to help build the corners. |

The other cabinet corner was an even bigger crumbling mess. I found a few dead wood-lice in the T-Molding groove.
Before sanding and shaping.. looks a mess! Here's the first corner after sanding, shaping, cutting the T-Molding groove. I'm happy enough, second corner is similar. |

Some metal work is kindly taken by mrmul8r for sand-blasting and powder coating. He has gone beyond the call of duty in terms of helping me with this. Thank you greatly.

The protector plates are off to be zinc plated. I prefer the idea of them being shiny, rather than the original black.
The brake pedal is off to be chrome plated. |

There was so much body-work needed on this cabinet. Nothing was that bad, but there were so many small dings, dents, scrapes and other nasty bits.
The flash makes this look horrendous, but it's as smooth as a baby's bottom if you run your hand over the side of the cabinet! I cleaned the cabinet with alcohol shortly after this... Edited by dj_yt - 28 February 2015 at 9:24pm |

Anyone else got a random massive nail in the side of their cabinet?!
Well, whatever it's coming out! |

Following my earlier test of the PCB, I've now powered up all the electronics. First time since the 90s.
At first, the monitor refused to switch on. Turns out the sockets on the rear were a little corroded. After some coaxing, a reassuring static fuzz could be heard. At first the monitor was missing red. Then it was missing all colours aside from red. Tapping the contrast control on the rear, which looks a little damaged helped address this temporarily. The Hantarex 900E monitor also looks like it needs a cap-kit as the image is badly compressed. The monitor is now assigned to my Dad to fix. Respect to my Dad! The monitor has no screen burn and when the image works it looks great. So let's hope it's fixable. Sound is a bit hummy... could be some capacitors, somewhere?!

I totally underestimated how long it would take me to dismantle and repair the bodywork on the cabinet. As it was winter, I had to do most of it in my house. Which meant cleaning up took ages.
Anyway, today the cabinet was moved to the shed for spray painting. A pretty exciting moment, and I duly forgot to take any photos. Primer is now done and already looks a million times better... next stop will be spraying black. And there will be some photos too. Also.. important note for cmonkey... there is still more money to be had from this cabinet. There is definitely cash sloshing around below the cashbox holder. Unfortunately, I can't get to it easily. I need to fashion some kind of device from a coathanger I think to get it out.

Right, whilst I'm spray-painting, my Dad is at work on the monitor.
The problems are as follows: - Input Board: Contrast control on monitor has been snapped off - Input Board: Faulty loose coil - Colours come and go - Vertical Collapse - Horizontal Expansion You can see the faulty coil below. Some further pics: Also the cap-kit I ordered does not match the Input Board (revision PE 07). We'll have to find the caps manually. Out of interest, does anyone have a HTC 900/E manual with the PE07 input board revision. I can find a manual online, but it's for PE02 which is a different layout. Anyway, as if by magic a chassis popped up on ebay yesterday - exactly the same revision for both the input and deflection board. Hopefully we can raid this for parts, like the broken coil and contrast control. Better still, the seller is about a mile away from where I live. I'll pick it up this weekend. |

Remember, this pile of rusty crap?
Check it out after sandblasting and powder coating; it's almost like new. Thanks to David for sorting this for me. Plus I have the beautiful chrome accelerator pedal from his earlier post. Hopefully the rest of the metalwork will be completed soon... they said tomorrow when I phoned. |

I finished spray painting the front and sides of the machine and brought it back into the house. One recommendation: - Never attempt to rattle can the entire side of a machine! It's complete madness! (Thanks to David for pointing this out to me politely.) I was led into a false sense of security after finding an even primer finish was dead easy. With the satin black, getting an even finish is tough. Overall the results are certainly good enough, considering they will be covered almost entirely by the vinyl side art. But if the side art didn't cover them, I would roller! Next step will be fitting the rubber matt and getting the base protectors back on, which need to be picked up from plating.
