Starting a new DK cab
ghettodish:
Off to a good start. 20" vertical LCD monitor, modified DK control panel, working coin door, running MALA. I got a coat of PVA primer on it today. I need to fit one more panel between the monitor and marquee light, then it should be ready for paint.
Erik:

Any chance you can get a 19" CRT for proper 4:3? I just love a CRT for classics. It almost looks like the image is floating inside.

I'd like to try and do the same thing one day. I just bookmarked this project.

I skipped the CRT monitor on this build. Happ has a nice bezel for 20" LCDs. It turned out to be the exact width to fit my cab.
Today I fit the last needed panel, routed out the channel for the T-molding, and did some putty work. This was my my first time using PVA primer...it sands down pretty good despite its properties.
Next I'll tune up the bodywork a bit and start painting it the original colors. The only thing I gotta figure out is how to mount the main lexan bezel. I didn't have the bezel artwork printed yet. I might just spray paint for now. The whole thing needs to be a working unit for the Super Bowl party I'm bringing it to.
