Creeper's arcade cabinet (work in progress)

It's like it's straight out of a catalogue! Nice photo, and great cab!

[Garza]

Wow Great CP! Love it really Looks great!

[Creeper]

Thanks a lot guys.

A few weekends ago I had about 30 or 40 people over at my place and the arcade never had a moments rest. The big games of the night were Turtles in Time, X-men, Samurai Shodown V, Street Fighter II, Street Fighter III, Metal Slug 5, Hang Time...so on. It was awesome, by 2 in the morning most people were loaded and absolutely hammering on the buttons, to the point where I was mildly concerned. When morning dawned and the dust settled I gave it a Windex and assessed the damage. Not a scratch, the thing is built like a tank.

This has been an incredibly fun project and for all the people sitting on the fence trying to decide whether or not to jump in and build their own, do it. That is if you have the time, space, money, resources and motivation.

Hey, where did you find the black player start buttons? I remember seeing them quite a while ago and now I can't remember where that was..

I got my white-guys-on-black-buttons P1-P4 start buttons from divemaster127.  Look in the Buy/Sell/Trade Forum.


Oh, and by the way,

Please post a picture of your marquee lit up when you get it done!  I am thinking about going the edge-lit marquee route too...

[Creeper]

Absolutely, might be a few weeks though..

Morning, sorry i did not respond sooner.  i missed it.  i need to learn to subscribe to threads.  at any rate, i still need two of these my self.  i prefer all black system buttons, the white buttons just clash  on the top row!!

i do not remember if this was the original web-page i found the black player 1 and play 2 buttons.
they have them listed as happ's so im surprised iv not seen any state size.

here is the url:

Chris-

His website is www.arcadeemulator.net. Good vendor.

[jipp]

hmmm.  i do not see the black player buttons.  i see he has the aimtrack kit.. im assuming this is the same kit that ultimarc sells in the uk.. to bad i need the buttons and the aimtrack kit.. could of killed two birds with one stone. heh  i did add his store to my list of retailers for this hobby.  and for the record i would buy the gun kits from marc but he is in the uk.. so if i can get the same thing state side i would..

perfect, thank you so much.. even state side..  no offense to you guys on the other side of the pond.. but i get a little inpatient waiting for the mail at times heh

No problem- and for the record, Lizard Lick has been great to work with in the past!

sounds good.  just spent 20 bucks on his webpage.  two sets of black player buttons and misc.  will use one set for my current cab, and the other on a bartop in the future.

p.s

remind me not to try and order anything when im tired.. looks like i ordered 1 player black button and two 2 player buttons.. i needed two of each. laughs.. looks like il be ordering from lizzard one more time down the road when i start on my bar top!!  probably get one of his sticks then to justify shipping.

How did I miss this one? This looks amazing. 

Just to throw out another option for the black player buttons: I ordered plain black buttons and then applied vinyl decals from Pongo. Might not be cost effective if all you want is the black player buttons, but definitely worth a look if you want to label other buttons as well.

Wonderful job!!!
