I wish I could take the credit for the craftsmanship, but yes, I do agree, it bloody looks amazing :)

Thats a really nice looking repro. For some reason I thought there was a viewlix where the monitor rotated, depending on the JAMMA cart you had installed.... but that could be some other kind of candy cab,etc. The recent japanese arcade game market is not my strong suit, I'm more of a throwback, but I do like these 'sit-down' designs.

You can order one from Kray, he was the reason i wanted a DIY solution here in Aus.
The original vewlix are screen rotatable for SHUMPs,

If you do order one, be sure to post all your pics in the Ozhadou thread], I'm trying to centralise it there with everyone that I know of purchasing these and it'll be good to see everyone's version.

Yeah I've been a long time lurker here :)
The CP's do look great do don't they!!?? I have to give many thanks to yourself for the button layout, it was the most logical thing to do and I've told you before, but your slim design was the biggest influence for this design :)

He might be able to sell the CP on its own, however I don't know about the individual sections, it'd be too hard to get the top piece fit for a different build, however you may be able to work something out with Troy, best to give him a yell and ask.. troy@arcadeworx.com.au

Alright....
so it begins!!! :D :D
I officially hate courier companies!!!
The buggers only sent package 1 of 2!! :angry: :angry: :angry: and they decide to go on a strike today, so hopefully I get the rest of the cabinet tomorrow.
I did get the CP so, I am now officially in day one of the build.
I purchased some 3m body filler to seal the MDF edges so when painted, it'll be just like the flat surface of the MDF (well that's the plan anyway).
There was absolutely no way the CP could be properly filled the way I want it with the parts loose, I had to leave it assembled and seal where I thought necessary.
As you will see from the next lot of pics, I am far from an expert at this, and I probably caked on waaaaay too much filler, I'm guessing I'm going to be sanding for a very long time :S my mentality was during this process, its better to not see the linesand then sand down, as oppose to seeing all the lines i'm trying to fill.
If I have time tomorrow, I'll start the sanding, I don't see myself working on this again till the weekend, however if the rest of the cabinet arrives tomorrow, I'll try and find time to put that together with the screen... I'll see how I go.
Hopefully I put enough hardener on the filler for it to set properly... I guess we'll find out tomorrow..
