Allright, so I got the cabinet... The "details" shown on the pics are a little worse than I thought, but anyway... I'll take some pics this saturday and post them up to see if anyone has some good suggestions, seeing the "real thing" and state... It actually did come with a monitor, but although the guy said it *should* work, he said it'd be useless as it is all scratched up (the glass) (any way to recover that?). It's also a cabinet that opens "from the top" ? I'll have to examine that on saturday too, see exactly what it's about... Sucks being a noob... 8) |

well, first of all, congratulations on starting your first arcade project...it will be alot of fun. that cabinet needs a little work, but that is the fun part. it looks like it will be a good cabinet to mame. Bondo, is a brand name of body putty/filler. here in the US, they sell it at auto parts stores, as well as major retail stores like Walmart. be sure to post some pictures once you get a chance, and don't be afraid to ask questions. the BYOAC WIKI is a great source of information that covers alot of beginner questions. http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Main_Page |

Hey severdhed, thanks for your encouragement! I will definitely take some pics tomorrow and post them. Meanwhile, about the bondo, I know now it's a brand, and read through the wiki, but which one is exactly the one that is used for this? I look through amazon to get an example, and I get a lot of different ones: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=bondo&x=13&y=18 How do I know which one it is? ??? |

i haven't actually used any on my cabinet yet.(getting ready to redo my DK cabinet hopefully here in another month or so) but i am under the impression that this is what people are using: http://www.amazon.com/3M-262-Quart-Auto-Filler/dp/B000WZCNBC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1268430717&sr=8-1 someone correct me if i'm wrong |
