Update tiiiiiiiiiiime! I've been super busy.. But here we go!
Got the CPO in and the panel work all done. Took a shit load of hammering a cloth wrapped wood block to get the warping out of it, which was really apparent once getting the old CPO off. Also got the knockouts done so we could change the button arrangement and have other options if we ever wanted.
Next up was getting all the vinyl off the front kick plate, which was done by using a hair blow dryer and slowly peeling up while heating up the adhesive.
There is still some that needs to come up, but I've not been doing so hot so I had to kinda put a pause on the usual effort, but it's just a matter of removing coin doors to get the rest off.
Back on the topic of decals, I was finally able to solve what the one OEM decal would be over the bill acceptor door for purchasing cards!! So I got that done and had someone assemble the decal print sheet for me here:

And here it is with all the coin door decals, the card reader panel decals and the NAMCO logo on the outside frame,
Something else cool, I was able to get a hold of some scans, part of the kit that Serenative had donated for the cab, so this spot is next on the art creation list, the general instructions strip,
Someone had reached out and actually provided a scan of this one, part of the kit we were going to scan and make a localized version of it,
As for the general instructions decal, the fitting dimensions for the strip, leaving 1/4" on either side between the card readers, is:
18" Width x 3-1/4" Height
This is the OG US Soul Calibur 2 basic instruction sheet, 3 photos stitched together:
We're going to get this scanned this weekend. Right now we've been working with this one here,
This is the "Translation Copy" with has a loose translation that will have the text language of the one above, but we do have a full scan of the JPN SC2 Ver, here it is currently having all the Japanese removed,
If anyone wants to print their own of the 3 decals that are done now, I can share these since I made these ones, kinda doubt it but hey here they are. If you wanted them for Tekken, you can always change the blue to red and update all the fonts to those of your liking. I could really see this being useful for people keeping it Tekken, since sooooo many photos I saw didn't have any of these decals. Remember, these are not 1:1, just me having fun and doing my best to get it as close as possible. If you're looking for exact accuracy, hire an artist to recreate them and provide really good reference images and measurements

Note, the card purchase decal is spelled correctly in the uploaded link in the event you want the straight up SC2 version. Otherwise, just colorize it red, find a font you can match best and type it in how you want. The white area is where you write the card cost. The NAMCO logo is red you will notice. It was not printed, but cut from blue vinyl.
This is the color spec for the blue used on everything:

With who you take these to, they might have to change some sizing on the actual PNGs, not the image of the "canvas" or whatever else. But they are the exact ones we used to do this!
Also at the end of this build, all of the attachments relevant will be posted in one thing so you won't have to dig for anything. All the move strips will get uploaded in their own forms so people can do their own thing, own languages and whatnot with them too.
Next up... We unlocked a majorly needed, as you all know piece.. Not just those brackets, but sent the entire Sanwa frame we need!!!!!! Coach Konami has sent us this!!! Which will freakin' be here tomorrow! Next post to detail the tube install to the frame,
And then all that to the cab!
