    Default Two restorations I am working on

    Here are some restorations I am working on, I don't have any before photos they where both in pieces when I received them. I am almost done with them, I just need to do the wiring and wanted to know if it should be battery power or a power supply to work the lights? I am also not sure if I want to put them in cabinets to sell or just sell them as free standing machines input welcome.

    This is a 1977 Sanyo Comet II I call "Geisha House", it's the one I needed the paypockets for.

    This is a 1976 Nishijin Model B I call "Sumo Wrestling".

    Great work! Those would bring top dollar in Japan, I would guess.

    I like having them plugged in.. but having them on battery will work for everyone...

    as for the cabinet.. I would show a machine in a cabinet and offer it as an upgrade. that way if there tight on money they can still get an amazing looking machine.. if they have a few extra bucks then they can upgrade.. this way you save the upfront cost..

    i have done a few machines for people.. and yet i have only sold 2 cabinets..

    Funny thing is I have started to build cabinets because people have recently been asking for them. I haven't even had a chance to finish my own cabinet.
