3/4 size Ms Pacman / Galaga 25th Anniversary cab
« on: October 04, 2010, 10:22:54 am »
Just about got everything I need to start work on this project.

I wanted to make a smaller 3/4 cab to suit a particular space.

15" Panasonic RGB scart TV
Athlon 3200, 512mb, 120gb, Nvidia 5200 with Soft15k
Not finalised controls yet, but will have a 4/8 switchable stick, 3 action buttons - I'm keen to try leaf switched controls for this project



Best pics I could get of the screen


Donor TV to be decased, Ive had a look inside - nice and easy ;)



Rough outline of cab to make sure controls are at the correct height, and monitor has enough room

Panel dimensions: Width = 25", Height = 48"

Early days, lots to do!

Since this is very similar to my build, please let me know if I can give you any help.
Then you don't need to repeat the mistakes I made in the design :)

I'm sure I will some questions as the build progresses, thanks for the kind offer!
