Great but you left out how long it took you lol ??
what monitor/display  did you get ?
did you get decals as Jay suggested ?
does it work satisfactory
is it for home or business
inside pictures would be cool .
of course the most important the paint code number ??-->.kidding<<
last if you want to disclose what you have for $$ into the entire job .
its nice to see someone take a old machine and save it ! not cut it up for firerwood
you got your first pos karma !!great looking job .

Can't see from the pic, but here is a link to the sideart below you can custom order in any size you need (if you need it).  I am also interested in most of the info ROCKET posted.  Great Job!!

Thanks for the kind words, I really enjoy restoring these games.
I really didn't keep up with the time.
I repaired and rebuilt the original 20EZV monitor.
I did get some decals, I use digdug on ebay and he does amazing work.
It works perfect.
I am keeping it right now.
The paint is Behr Liquid Blue 520B-5
Probably around $100-$125. The game and time was free,

Cool good luck with it half the fun on those if you cant find a original board you can buy a multi game board with Donkey Kong on it.  Great job once again. And I won't forget the paint code lol.   Rocket
