Dynamo Arcade 19' converted to MAME
dugg8:
Hello all,
I've been reading through this forum for the past few months in order to finish my MAME cabinet. I picked up an old Dynamo arcade 19' (no monitor) from a repair shop for $50.00 on the first week of October. After working tirelessly for 7 wks I finally completed the project and I'm happy with the end result. The link below is to a short video I made on the work I've done to cabinet.

Very nice job. Definitely looks like something you'd have seen in the arcade in the early 90s :applaud:

Thanks. I was debating on whether to go with a CRT or LCD. Ultimately I chose LCD for reliability and ease of use but maybe if I do another project down the road I'll use a CRT.
Donkbaca:
Very nice! What do you use to cut holes in the metal cp?

I used a arbor bit with a with a 1 1/8 diameter hole saw. The different diameters can be purchased individually. It was a real pain to drill each hole with the average time taking 10 minutes per hole.
