Joust Arcade Restoration part 12: the GRAND FINALE! 😍 Finishing touches, re-assembly, & gameplay

PROJECT COMPLETE! This is the final chapter of our Williams Joust Arcade restoration series. In this episode, Charlie ties up all the remaining loose ends, like repainting the coin doors, front kick panel, and assorted hardware, plus wrapping up the marquee light, control panel wiring, and installing a reproduction speaker grill. Then we’ll put the whole cabinet back together again, and bring it down to its permanent home in the basement arcade lineup. Beware of the “Unbeatable?” Pterodactyl!
