Down to the last steps now that the stencils are complete. Installing the T-molding was uneventful. Last part was this horrible Silkworm burn on the CRT.

It’s very noticeable during the game and just looks terrible.

First I recapped the chassis and tested it with the Silkworm tube – didn’t make anything worse. I found a free Craigslist TV. The Silkworm tube is the left one – and the TV tube on the right. One letter difference? Could I get lucky?

Chassis all washed, cleaned, recapped. New tube installed. I spent a couple hours working on convergence which is really a mystic art form. I’m not 100% crazy about the tube – but its up and running. I may mess with it again in the future.

Skipping ahead..

Restoration complete. This Old Game produces fantastic artwork. The marquee, bezel, CPO and stencils are all T.O.G. Pretty much every part of this cabinet needed something. It was a total disaster when I picked it up. The only thing that did work was the actual game board.

Shop cleaned – ready for the next project.
