RVZ:
I'm almost done with my second cabinet, but never posted anything on the first one I did a couple of years ago. So here's some pics, keep in mind that before this I never did any woodwork or anything like that. :)
My wife bought me this:
After reading through the whole book, and seeing how easy everyone on this forum made it look, I bought joysticks, buttons and stuff from Ultimarc.
Coin door from Happ.
Modified coin mech to work with R2 coins.
Bought a 21" slimfit tv and removed the cover.
"Removed" the speakers. :)
to be continued...
RVZ:
Bought some MDF wood and started cutting out the sides.
Both sides done.
Control panel layout done.
Got this design somewhere on this forum I think. Since then lots of people have been using the same one.
RVZ:
Checking to see if the control panel fits.
From the side.
Coin door panel added.
TV in.
Panel for speakers added.
Closed the screw holes on the sides.
RVZ:
From the back.
RVZ:
Added and connected the coin door, fitted perspex over the screen, connected the speakers and added t-edging for the sides. Can't remember which frontend I used, but it's not nearly as good as HyperSpin FE which I'm using on my new one. Overall it turned out ok, but I made a lot of mistakes. I sold this one shortly after completing it, and then recently started a new one.
Some pics of the finished cabinet, just not very good quality.
