Game paused

I can't really work on the cabinet during the week, and I'm waiting for a bridge rectifier to arrive in the mail. Since I'm making no progress, here is a great site about someone else's Robotron restoration: http://www.biltronix.com/robotron.html

He did a much better job with the cabinet and with a web site than I'll ever do.

Once the weekend comes and I have time to work on the cabinet, the next tasks are:
  • Install the bridge rectifier and hopefully have a working power supply
  • Paint the inside of the cabinet either white or black
  • Create a new back panel out of MDF
  • Paint the back of the cabinet black
  • Sand and paint the front of the cabinet black
  • Attempt to strip the paint off the sides of the cabinet down to the wood
  • Prime the sides of the cabinet
  • Install casters on the bottom so that the cabinet can roll around
