@NeonGenesisPlatinum I actually put in a 2032 battery holder and cut off the resistor that is used for the charging circuit, so basically the high scores and everything works exactly like it used too but the battery doesn't charge, but it lasts actually longer then the rechargeable one and you don't have to worry about it leaking on the board.
Get a dark T-shirt iron on inkjet transfer sheet from (walmart, target, etc) and a simple barstool thats upholstered in leather, suede, nothing really treated or protected, then make sure to print the image in mirror/reverse so the text shows up right and once you have everything ironed on and cooled, take a can of clear coat (you can find in automative paint, also at walmart, automotive stores) and do a 3-4 light coats, and your done! @FJNLLC
@TreasureChestReviews Haha I know what you mean, it's more personal then anything, it was the first cabinet I ever bought/owned and it was already a converted Dig-Dug cabinet, so I just spruced it up to look a lot better then it did. I would love to own an actual big red, but I'm settling for this for now.
Sorry mate i wrote my comment before i finished watching the video, yes you have removed the battery!
Did you put a new one in or you just don't care about keeping the high scores?

I wonder why your player 2 A button is not in the standard layout as you player one is?
Nice work mate, i have to send my chassis away for repairs my screen has gone.
Have you replaced the backup battery on the main board? apparently they can leak and damage the tracks on the board!
