History: Retouched the control panels and cabinet edges, and gave most of the cabinet an extra clean (Sept 10 '08) - should deliver it on Sept 12 :: Changed one control panel from the other one (Oct 21 '07) :: Changed table glass from the other one (Oct 20 '07) :: Disassembled the leaf buttons and washed them (Oct 2 '07) :: Received my two new cocktails - a double set of Asteroids Deluxe, thinking that I'll keep one (to replace the regular Asteroids that I'm selling off) and sell the other right away, so let me know if you're interested in one of these - even better game than the original! (Sep 29 '07) :: Heavily reorganized the basement and sub-basement in anticipation for a pair of these Asteroids Deluxe cocktail cabinets :: turfed a bunch of old parts and stuff that I wouldn't be using, and did some smart puzzle placement of various bits and pieces, looks great, just too bad that these things take so much time! (Sep 24 '07) :: Saw and played both Deluxe cabinets at my guru's place (Aug/Sept '07) on a cold day, we needed to tweak the leaf switches at various times before we could settle into some serious gaming, nice version - love it!
