Reply to VCI-100SE Arcade Buttons Mod Pictures

i finished my arcade buttons mod on my VCI-100SE yesterday, and just wanted to share my pictures from the process with you guys.


01 - ta'daaa!

02 - filled the old holes with chemical metal (aka. Jb Weld) then sanded it down. did one rough filling on each side, then 2 fine ones on the upside.

03 - close up

04 - once the machinist started drilling, the fillings started to crack. i then had them cut out a square around the old holes, and weld in a new plate with the new ones. this is surely gonna last forever and will definatley take a beating.

05 - close up

06 - filled the small gabs and sanded the whole thing down, dont worry if theres a little paint left, it just helps the new paint stick.
