Odd Jobs
Today I just did a few little odd jobs which I'd been meaning to get around to, and since the shops aren't open due to the Easter holiday, that was about all I was going to get done. First of all, I attached the remaining two pushbuttons that I bought a while ago. There is one on each side of the machine, for pinball games.
Next, I replaced those ugly hinges on the coin door, with some leftover piano hinge. I have to say I'm much happier with the look now, and I just need to fill in the screw holes with some wood putty and no one will be any the wiser.
Last of all, I changed the shelf for the fluro light thanks to a suggestion from my Dad. I rotated the shelf 90 degrees, and then actually screwed the fluro light into this shelf. This now looks a lot neater. And yes I know no one is actually going to see this, but it makes me feel better inside.
I'm not sure if I can really do much else now until the shops reopen. I was going to wire up the buttons today, but I decided it would actually be best to do this after all the painting has been done. So stay tuned, this project is only going to look cooler from here on in!
