Van Halen is coming to MGC

So I've committed to Ed Owens that I'm bringing this game to the show.  The homebrew section at both Midwest Gaming Classic and Chicago Expo are fantastic and I want to be a part of that.  Big thanks to Hugh Spahr for rebuilding the SD card from scratch since the original got corrupted (and neither of us made a backup).  He got it to work with a pi zero which makes it look even more impressive in the backbox.

So beyond cleaning it up (polishing the playfield, trying my best to get rid of corrosion on metal), I also wanted to make some improvements.  This isn't a knock on Hugh, I know he worked really hard to get this done for Pintastic and it's amazing he was able to do all this himself.

I decaled the spinner and shooter plate:



I also wanted the backglass to have more light, so I created a new wood panel that just clears the LCD and dropped more strips along the sides.  I also didn't like the screw to hold down the light panel so I put the screw in backwards and tightened it down with a wingnut.  There are some hotspots and I tried defusing them using a ceiling tile panel, but it ended up texturing the light in a weird way.. Plus ceiling tiles are made from acrylic and they crack very easily.
