Thanks! Looks like the idea is to widen the hole/crack so you can actually fill it. What I really want to know is how bad could it get.
Yeah I know most blasts will have this, its not the strongest design but hey the funny part is I wouldn't have gotten it into my house if the CP didn't come off
I make Controller adapter boxes and can make you one if you would like for your 360. I set the controls up the same way as the Madcatz Fight pads (ABXY RB and RT).
Congrats on the blast! It'll be a bit of work so don't hesitate to lean on the guys here if you need help
Finally got my Blast. Paid for it in late September, got delivered Wednesday. Group buy? Shipped from Japan? No, just Maryland to Philly! I told them I'd wait till they were coming my way since they don't really deliver.

It doesn't have the original power supply or most/any of the original wiring. Also missing the back maintenance hatch and the back part of the marquee. No body cracks and the speakers look good though. Not bad for $575 delivered.
I plan to run a 360 in it at least at first. How do people set up the buttons? Are the RB and LB necessities for running FBA? I guess I'll sit back and wait for someone to part one out to get some of the panels.

Update on my MS-2931 chassis repair with the black goop.
I sent it in to PNL Video in California. Honestly, I didn't really like dealing with these guys but your mileage may vary. The total ended up being over $100 more than what I was quoted. They failed to inform me of the repairs that were to be made before they shipped it back to me. I was surprised to say the least when I had to pay the COD.
sigh.
Bitching aside they did successfully repair the chassis. The chassis had an expanding image issue. This was most noticeable when a bright image occurred on the screen. Also, the image wasn't as sharp and vivid as it should be. They ended up cleaning the goop and replaced the flyback. I'm not sure if any caps were replaced. Again, their communication was pretty sub-par.
The results?
Fuckin' amazing.
Wouldn't mind having a worked over backup chassis.
If your CP is peeling, it's entirely possible to improve that with an exacto knife, some super glue and c clamps. I had to do that on my last group buy cab.
