Just was watching Joe’s Classic Video Games and he was showing some old flippers and how they work and he said “this flippers switch…that piece of fish paper…”. That’s twice within one hour of hearing about fish paper. Never heard of it before. LOL
Looks so much better than when you started. Mom would be proud..LOL I have been using fish paper as well for awhile on my Pinball restorations. I'm like you on these components. People will say "no one will see it" Yeah, but I will know it's not correct and that would bug the hell out of me.
The orangish washers are called Kapton Polyimide Round Washers. They serve to electrically insulate in extreme temperature environments (like -450° to +450° F). They appear to be made of same material as Kapton tape, also used for insulation in high temperature areas, like insulation between layers of windings in power transformers. People also use Kapton tape to protect heat sensitive areas of PCBs when using hot air soldering. The studded devices that are being insulated on your power brick are most likely high current (like 70A) stud-mount rectifier diodes, for instance (70HFR120/70HF120 Rectifier Diode). I'm sure they generate a lot of heat, seeing as they are mounted in that heat sink you painted black. The high-wattage ceramic resistors across the big capacitor are "bleeder resistors". They drain the charge in those big filter caps when the unit is turned off.
@@SBWings thank you I did not know that I am glad you sent this message because it is nice to learn about stuff I don’t know thanks again I appreciate it
Just a thought. When you’ve finished your restorations (which without trying to blow your trumpet) are done to the very highest standards, as far as I’m concerned, you then become a part of the cabinets history and that history should also be preserved. Have you thought about getting some fancy metal plates made that you would screw into a discreet part of the cabinet once complete, that acknowledges you as the restorer and the period of time the restoration was done? It’s great that these machines are in a private collection still being played but who knows, in 50 years they could all be in an Americana museum. I’d certainly consider it a ‘thing’ to own a cabinet that could be officially confirmed as being restored by yourself.

@@upuchri me too I didn’t know about it until yesterday lol
Looks great! Good job!
@@shawncruiksh thank you

@@TxJayYT thank you and I couldn’t agree more. Why put dirty shit back in. Lol

@@DarrenMcCowan280470 no I never thought of that
Where did you get the wire with the stripes?
@@kcase601 4rcustomswire
What do you use to print those stickers? Is it a standard ink jet printer or something else?
@@upuchri it’s a latex hp printer 54 inch
