    THANK YOU for voicing the ridiculous lead teams for artwork. This has been a frustration of mine for years. My guess is one guy started doing it and everybody else followed suit and now it's just a vicious circle.
    I've voiced my concerns about this over the years on various forums and I always get lambasted because, well really there is no reason, it just seems to be the thing to do. 😡

    A classic case of “just do it” and then it’ll be done. No replacement for just working it.
    Thanks for insights as always
    👊🏻😎🕹️
    Ps. I vote try to rebuild the original as well.

    I can completely relate to your frustrations on getting stuff. I looked into getting a Pac Man marquee, and it was going to be 6 - 8 weeks lead time + shipping time. If I wanted it 3 months from now, I wouldda started the project THREE MONTHS FROM NOW!😂

    I did the same method on a blown out Defender corner, you're right, it found its way out, I didn't know to use heat on it but it was hot weather so it did cure enough to harden and seal, I just had to sand the drips, I did the same with the screws too.. it turned out great. I think it might have been one of your earlier videos where I learned the method actually now I think about it. Tell you what though. People try to use bondo to build up corners but it just smashes off if you knock it so the resin is a lot better. Thanks man

      Awesome yeah fiberglass resin is the way to go. Bondo will literally just bust off the corner and be honest with the resin is easy to do.

      @ honestly they both are they take so much material away so quickly that the vacuum system can’t keep up with it but at least it’s not floating in the air. I kind of just falls to the floor

    I think you should rebuild the original power supply. As long as it's not one of the ones like in QIX that burn up and catch fire.

    Seems to be everyone so far is for rebuilding the power supply, as do I.
    I do the screws as well to help give grip, but never used the heat gun on it before.

    I would run the original power supply. If it starts to give issues then maybe consider replacing it but I'd probably leave it in the cab either way. I'm running the original power supply in my Astro Blaster which is very similar. I did replace caps etc.

    If the PS didn't having a matching serial #, I'd say go with a switching PS. However, this is like finding a classic car with a numbers matching engine! Just my opinion! Do what's best for you! your money, your hobby! As long as the PS can be restored so it's reliable.
