Here's the skinny:
I got my sexy Big Red 2 weeks ago. I was, admittedly, a little torn as to whether or not I should even go through with a restoration as there wasn't a whole lot 'wrong' with it. After playing a few rounds of SSIII though, I started to get nit picky.
I'm a little [k, a lot] OCD and there were things that just kept screaming at me. Mainly, my wanting for this thing being as close to complaetely OE as possible. So, I sucked it up and dove in. Stripped the helpless girl naked. And it wasn't until it was laying there on the garage floor that I realized how much of a pain in the ass (and a hell of a lot of fun) this is gonna be.
I figured I'd start this thread and just post to it when I have questions/ concerns instead of posting a billion new threads when I'm not happy with the answers I read using the search.
Here's a list of all the things I'm working on:
1. Repair moisture damage to all edges of the bottom DONE
2. Fill the gaping hole in the front DONE
3. Paint DONE
3. Get a higher quality (or original) marquee DONE
4. Blast/ powder coat CP (or get a new one) DONE
5. Get an original CPO in good condition DONE
6. Replace burnt out EL panels
7. Install new Suzo/Happ buttons & sticks
8. Replace the replacement power supply for an OEM one
9. Pull out the 2 slot and replace with a 4
10. Obtain a MV-IC
If you'd like to see the progress so far, here's my imgur:

And here's my first question to you guys: where can I find an MVS-4 UL Label Set(all the interior labels)? Or at least high res scans of the originals to reproduce??
