Nice find on the Neo Geo!
I managed to get a lot of work done on the MK2 this past weekend. Painted some things during the work week. Here's the finished control panel waiting for the overlay which I should have tomorrow. The last pic you saw was bare wood. To get to this pic I skimmed the wood with drywall mud to close the grain. Then I sanded, primed, sanded, painted, sanded, painted, and finally lacquered 2x. It looks so nice I'm almost going to regret covering most of it. I also gave the coin door a fresh coat paint.
