Track and Field Cocktail
cmoses:
Any updates on the cocktail Brock?
brock.sampson:
Finally done painting. The weather has not been very conducive to painting outside so I had to paint the last two coats in the garage. HVLP doesn't create a lot of overspray so it wasn't a huge problem just took a long time for the paint to dry and cure out. I have the cabinet back together and I'm going to order a sheet of laminate over lunch. Going to try and focus on wiring control panels over the next couple of nights. Hopefully I can get some stuff accomplished over the holiday weekend.

Back side laminated. Starting to wire control panel.

Looks like you are a fan of soldering and tie wraps. That should hold together forever. The only problems I ever have with CPs are due to crimps being loose so I am beginning to think that solder maybe the way to go. ;D
brock.sampson:
Yeah I usually don't have very good success with crimp connectors. Not sure if its the tool I have or the operator. ;) I always go overboard with the zip ties. First time using cat 5 cable on a panel so that should save me a few but probably not many. Finished wiring up the 1st player side last night. Plan on doing 2nd player side tonight and the harness for the trackball side, coin door, and power switch. Depending on the weather may try and laminate the front tonight as well. Probably should have done that yesterday. :angry:
