Trevor,

In this particular instance, we did remove all the parts before we started laminating the cabinet. Of course, this is a not a requirement but it does make moving the cabinet around a bit easier. When we laminated the Tron cabinet in our original post from Tim’s Arcade Restoration, we did not remove any parts. The choice is really up to you but the lamination process we describe should work either way.

We have also featured your question on episode 16 of our Q&A podcast. Please listen to it for more of our thoughts on your question. Thank you for your question and good luck with your future repairs.

Before beginning the lamination process…did you remove the arcade internals and the monitor?

DeLuSioNaL29,

We usually purchase our laminate sheets at Home Depot. They usually cost us around $50 a sheet and a sheet is good for one side of an arcade cabinet.

Thanks for your question and let us know how your laminate project turns out.

Any idea where the solid black laminate can be purchased?

Thanks in advance!
