[QUOTE="AcadDude, post: 281137, member: 7404"] Soon it will be time to get the finish applied so I removed all the buttons. Then I removed the back access door and coin door. The right side panel had a slight bow in it so I added a 2x2 brace to help push it out straight. Now we fill the divots and sand them flat. After sanding them down I got the legs fitted up.
