04/06/2004- Wiring of the harness is completed, and once the monitor is installed, I can test the system. The only thing left to buy is the coin door inserts, the coin mechs, the side art, Monitor, and bezel, and plexi cover. Hopefully with another $200 or so I can get ths thing up and running. Money is just something that I havent got right now, like most people, so again this sits on the back burner until a deal comes along thats so good I can't pass it up...

2/25/2004- CPO did finally arrive, many thanks to Classicoverlays.com who went above and beyond the call of duty to get a replacement to me. Overlay looks great IMHO, and with everything else falling into place, hopefully I can find me a good used monitor for cheap! Well probably not, but the only thing I have left to do on the list is buy and install the monitor, and the side art. I'm working on the rewiring of the harness, which makes me a little nervous, but I think it will all go well, once I double, triple, quadruple check everything. Oh yeah, I have to get the monitor plexi cover too. Once I finish with this, I think I'll play around with it and then try to sell it, and move on to a new project. But lets get it done first. :)

1/20/04- CPO Still hasn't arrived, and I'm getting nervous{Grumble}Got the PCB Boards, however, whoever hacked the hell out of the wiring harness, must've replaced the edge connector, so the net result is, what I thought would fit does not. HRRMPH! Apparently I need to see if I can find agood edge connector or a new wiring harnedd for a Phoenix Game. T-Molding is now installed, and looks OK, but I may buy the offset Centuri T-molding from T-molding.com Still waiting for the funding and opportunity to get a monitor for the damn thing, and to finally be able to blow some birds out of the sky.

Updated Pics above for your enjoyment

01/07/04- Ordered new CPO, CP has been sandblasted and looks great. T-Molding is done, and looks pretty good. I have the boardset coming to me within the next week or so. Still hoping for a windfall to get the sideart. New Pix Coming soon

12/08/03- Removed CP to get sandblasted. Probably going to get it done this weekend. Hopefully I can get the CPO sometime soon, even though money is tight. Installed T-molding on machine, but I got the wrong size, I may reorder from T-molding.com or I might just use what I got. It looks fine with the molding that I got, it's just that Centuri used an offset molding. Maybe I'll replace it sometime. It looks fine now. There's only about a 1/8 inch gap on one side.

Got a bid in on the boardset, but it's probably gonna go for way more than I can afford. {SIGH} 25 bucks for the CPO, and 59.95 for the sideart. Lord only knows how much the monitor is gonna be:)

Parts needed- initial list, as I dig deeper, I know I'll need more.
