Arcade Shop offers Millipede control panel overlays and marquees. They also offer speaker grill covers, but mine is fine.
I removed the Control Panel Overlay in anticipation of my Arcade Shop order.
The trouble is the side and Front art are not available. I am trying to convince Phoenix Arcade to reproduce the art, but I am only one buyer. I need several more to make a run worth while.

There is a hole in the front of the cabinet. Looks like it had a bar across the coin vault and someone removed it with a crowbar. Someone else attempted a repair by slapping and entire can of wood putty over the hole. The putty is over applied. They applied it over the exit wound, over the surrounding artwork, over the coin door, it is all over everything. They did it too fast, too. There are huge fault lines in the putty. This will have to come off.
I carefully remove the excess putty from the surrounding art work using a putty knife and a wet rag. It looks better already.
I am trying to gouge out the remaining putty. I can best describe the hole as an exit wound. The front is still intact from the inside except the small bolt hole. Outside it is a crater about half the depth of the particle board. If I can remove the putty and start over with a proper job this will greatly improve the cabinet front.

To facilitate cleaning and the painting I removed the control panel, bezel glass, monitor, speakers, coin box and marquee.

Test the game. I got it to my basement workshop, plugged it in and turned it on. The first success: it works. Game plays fine, sound is good and monitor is sharp.

I rented a truck with John and we drove out to Chester, NY to buy some project machines. We came back with 21 games.
Originally John going to take this one because he had less fear of the cabinet damage than I did. I found a buyer in the right time frame and took on this project.
