Since part 1 of my Pengo restoration post I’ve made some good progress with the limited time I have. As mentioned before, this cabinet needed very little body work. I don’t think I had an easy restoration like this since my Donkey Kong Jr. After a couple of quick coats of bondo a quick sanding (or two) and a good wiping down we were about ready to paint.
I’ve had a few e-mails from other collectors asking what font I used to recreate the Frenzy instruction card. The closest font could find was “Frutiger”. Not perfect but it is a great improvement off the one I replaced it with.
Last November I traded with Tim (MudManTim) from KLOV another collector my Vs. Hogans Alley for a nice working Pengo. Since then I’ve pretty much keep putting off restoring it but over the last few nights I’ve decided it was time to start the restore. The cabinet is in great condition and this shouldn’t take too long to restore.
Since “Part 3″ I’ve been able to wrap up the Frenzy restoration. Amazing how all the small final details seem to take for ever. However, the end results are always very satisfying when a restoration finally comes to a close.
Since “Part 2″ the Frenzy restoration has been moving forward fairly quickly. I’ve painted the cabinet, removed the spray mask, installed the black textured T-molding, painted the brackets and carriage bolts, replaced the speaker, preserved / installed the Marquee.
