Are these broken, or can I just buy the screw-in button cap?
Another thing is the veneer strip going around the top of the cabinet. I found a post describing a replacement:
Removed the old chipped and cracked veneer and added new band of Red Oak veneer [2 inch strip to the tops sides] Then I stained it with minwax dark walnut water based stain.I'm thinking it's this one: http://www.hardwareworld.com/2-inch-X-8-feet-Red-Oak-Bandit-pRNHBU4.aspx
Man, sometimes it would be a lot easier to live in the US of A.
The joysticks have two different ball tops, and it looks like the red one on player 2's side is retrofitted. I've seen these for sale, so that shouldn't pose much of a problem.
The glass is very scratched, but I think I'll just leave it as is for now. My guess is a new one would cost 100-150 USD here. At least.
The decals are old, and much of the color is actually faded down to white!
I found a repro on eBay, from wmentic. The quality is reasonably good, and probably a lot better than what I could have printed myself.
It looks like the quality and method of print is different between the big instruction and the smaller strips.
The big one:
- Good print quality, solid colors
- Thick material, looks like photo paper
- Rounded corners not cut
- No adhesive on the back
- Somewhat speckled print, not really sold colors
- Thin material, some kind of plastic film with paper protection
- Adhesive backing
I wasn't successful with the closeups, but I would say that the quality is satisfactory all in all. It will definitely look nice under the glass, and I can recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to print the decals themselves.
