Hi all,
I've just been skimming through this thread, and it isn't clear to me what the
scope of the FAQ that you are discussing is. Is it a Remanufacturing FAQ as
the title suggests (re-creating existing cabinets), how to make an arcade
cabinet, or how to restore existing cabinets?
As far as restoring existing cabinets, there's plenty of pages for that,
obviously. If someone wants to do a restoration FAQ, I think it would be best
to specify how to deal with generic parts (controls, coin doors, monitors,
marquees, flourescent lights, woodworking, etc), and maybe have an index for
special cases at the end (for unique cabinet stuff like sitdown spyhunter,
discs of tron, etc).
On www.enteract.com/~jenison/mars in the Feature Articles section I have some
restoration tips for most all the generic parts above which the document can
reference.
However, since restoration is such a big topic, I would think a "living"
document might be better. Maybe a web page which acted like a bulletin board
where people could post restoration ideas, pages, etc. The web owner would be
in charge of organizing topics, questions and answer into the most usable form.
If you're talking about a Re-manufacturing FAQ (how to make an existing
cabinet), I think that's too specialized and would need a doc per game.
