Jamma/XBOX 360 Candy Cab *Final Panel PICS, VIDEO, LED's
BurgerKingDiamond:
I'm doing a little work on my candy. I'll be adding a bracket to display my original DonPachi marquee, which I got along with a DonPachi pcb recently. this is just a quick mock up in Photoshop.
It will be a 90 deg angle bracket in the front painted white. The marquee will be sandwhiched between two sheets of plexi and it will be held together by a couble bolts and a flat piece of metal in the back. I will probably end up putting a light behind it too, because it looks so nice lit up... I know it's not a traditional candy type of set up, but I don't care.
Also, I've been putting off upgrading my sticks, but I need to do it. I'll be changing to a one player setup because this thing is only for tate shmups and I don't play 2 player, and don't want to spend money buying extra buttons and a stick that I will never use. Unfortunately I can't just drop in the Seimitsu LS-32 that I want (or any jap stick, for that matter). Stupid Korean thing has it's own thing going on, so I have to get a little creative. The black part of the original panel is recessed into the white plastic of the cab. I'm going to completely remove it and replace it with a precut astro city panel from LizardLick. This panel will sit on top (not recessed), and I will have to bolt it right into the white plastic (unfortunately I will have to make some holes in my cab.... It's ok, in the end it will look fine). Also, the astro panel is just a little too small to completely cover the hole from the old recessed panel. So I have to cut a piece of plexi, which I will paint from the back, and put that down first to cover the hole, then put the astro on top of it. In other words, original white plastic -> painted plexi -> metal astro cp -> plexi artwork cover. My only concern now is that the screw in buttons have enough threads to go through the 3 layers of material. I will have to double check and measure before I order. Here's another quick photoshop.
Oh yeah I also put in a nice, cheap ($30) set of pc speakers from Radio shack. It has two small speakers and a sub, plus a seperate volume knob with headphone jack that I velcro'd to the inside of the door. These make playing my CAVE 360 games and Raiden IV, plus all my final burn stuff really awesome. It doesn't do anything for the jamma games though, I still have those going through the original speakers.

My package from LizardLick came in today. It shipped pretty damn fast too. I think I only ordered this stuff 3 days ago or something.
List of stuff I got:
4 X 30mm Seimitsu clear blue buttons
2 X 24mm Seimitsu clear white buttons
1 X Seimitsu LS-32 Stick
1 X 35mm clear blue bubbletop
6 X KNserts for lighting up buttons
2 X Happ regular joystick springs (to replace the heavy ones I have in my MAME cab)
1 X Clear dustwasher (with arrow design thing)
1 X Lizard Lick 1 player Astro City control panel
1 X barrier strip
10ft red wire
10ft black wire
I will be upgrading my control panel as you can see. I want a 4 button setup. The plexi will cover the two button holes that I'm not using. I will be using the following tutorial from shoryuken to achieve lighting up buttons (when pressed, not lit all the time), the ball top will be permanently lit.

I still need a hollow LS-32 shaft. Bryan from paradisearcadeshop.com saw a post I made about this and let me know that they have them, but haven't started advertising them yet. He is hooking me up, and I should be getting soon (not really... they're in Hawaii so it will probably be at least a week to get to Virginia. It's ok.) I'm also waiting for the Hex Inverter IC to come from ebay (Radio Shack does not have them).

It's not a direct fit for my cab but I'll make it work. It would probably go nice with yours. And you'll have the opportunity to design around it, which is nice. It's nice that it has the mounting bracket already tack welded into place, the only small annoyance I have is that they didn't include the nuts. So I have to bring to whole thing to a hardware store to find the right size nuts for attaching the stick to the mounting plate.
emphatic:
Is the new panel bigger than the original one? Did you consider grinding it down to fit? That button layout is my new favorite actually. Very comfortable.
