Tutankham returns!
« on: August 04, 2014, 09:53:11 PM »
One more game joins the fold!  Takes forever one step at a time, but they get there :)

Thanks to Hamster and Mick for hooking me up with the machine, been gutted cleaned, full auto paint job and new artwork from Arcadeskin.com.  Near perfect marquee and cpo, NOS sticks and buttons.

Brian,

That seems really dark red, almost brown. Is that the camera making it look that way or is it really supposed to be that dark?

The reason I ask is because I also have one of these sitting in my garage and it was painted over black. But, I started to remove some of the black paint and the original red underneath is way brighter red than your photos.

I know how meticulous you are with your restoration work, so I assume you have the correct colors. Were these made in more than one shade of red?

It's the camera.  The actual color is dead on.  I have a local auto paint store that hand mixes paints.  They used the original back door for matching and I literally had to be showed where the matched paint was on the door.   My pic had no flash so maybe that is why it seems dark ?

That is what I figured.

Can you hang onto those codes for me? I will need them in the not too distant future, unless you feel like painting my cabinet for me.  :-P
