You know this monkey its Donkey! [DK scratch build]
leapinlew:
Thats the lower bezel retainer. It's about 3/4 the length of the bezel and fits in a slot cut into the lower support (the part you put the jumpman instruction sticker).
If you think Nintendo coin doors are hard to find....

I am a first poster here on BYOAC, I have been lurking here long enough to decide that I'll build my own arcade cabinet this summer/autumn. As you did, I chose to have a classic Nintendo cabinet too, and I did found the blueprints at Jakobud, but I really want the measurements to be accurate (we Europeans really don't dig the imperial unit system..). I wonder if anybody here can help me and Falcon NL and provide the measurements in metric, preferable in millimeters?
I am sure there are more builders which want it.
Good luck with your cabinet, looking good so far!

WhereEaglesDare:
That speaker grille looks pretty good, did you do it free hand or did you use a guide at all?
falcon NL:
No I used a guide to help me, i didn't think it was wise to do it free hand if you got a guide ;) I think it came out pretty good, and im really happy with it.
@leapinlew

Pretty big update i guess.
Last month i got all my artwork in! Marquee,Beezel and CP from Scott and the side art from QuarterArcade. I was really happy with the result! And Scott helpt me out with the import tax problem ;)
I also made the t-molding slots. A HUGE thanks to Joeks for lending me the bit for my router to do so! I would never succeed without his help at that point!
Then finally cut the hole for my coin door! It fits perfectly, i dont need glue or bolts to hold it in place. I also cut out some admin buttons for controlling Mame.
Then yesterday i finally fixed the light in the cabinet. The strangest thing happened the i first l saw the marquee, i really was proud of myself :). I hope the make final adjustment this weekend and get the first layer of primer on (Histor, MDF grondverf)
I still need to fix this part into place...anybody got a clue on how and where?
