Hi Guys,

Just introducing myself...

I've lurked these forums for a while but never posted before - I'm Stuart from the UK and I've just built my 1st Mame Cab. There's some GREAT stuff here so thanks to all for the amazing resource.

Since the new addition has been sitting in my conservatory its had use almost every day which is great - also to see friends kids (4 - 6 year olds) playing frogger and R-type - climbing all over it was cool!

Very nice machine for a first try.

I was also wondering how you managed the lighting . Regular 60 LED 5060 1m LEDstrip?

I just got some of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Blue-12V-120CM-Flexible-Car-Auto-60-LED-SMD-Strip-Light-/280513984878?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item414fefb96e#ht_2550wt_1139

They were a bit of a nightmare - I recommend buying more than you need as some were a bit flakey but once they were on they seem to be reliable enough! and the ones at the top illuminate the control pannel nicely!
