scream1973:
Have finally commenced on my first cabinet build.. Using the UAII plans from the project arcade book.
Done in oak stained with gunstock minwax to match up with the bar/dining room where it will ulitimately live.
Will have 2 player CP with a halloween/horror themed look with the theme covering the bezel and marquee as well
Of course i ordered parts before i completely thought things through.(lol) as i am potentially rethinking the joystick situation.
Original plan was 2 8 ways with a dedicated 4 way.. Might just do 2 switchable or 2 U360s now. not 100% sure yet
7 electric ice buttons with RGB per player ( have 20 total to play with)
2 LED-wiz
Ipac2 encoder
Utrak T-ball with RGB
Black Leather Tmold
2 player Coin Door i picked up on Ebay doesnt have the frame ( which i really would like to have since to make the door swing properly i had to route the hole slightly bigger than the door so light shines around it ..
LED for the Marquee
Have a 21" CRT monitor to start but will probably end up with a 28" LCD which is what i built the cabinet to hold as its 27" wide for the rough opening

Thank ya sir..
Cabinet isnt progressing very quickly.. I am waiting on all my parts to come in which should be soon..
U-trak is on its way and then i think i may bite the bullet and go with 2 x U360s with the top mount restrictors.
Wife has me finishing a bathroom build project first.
Then its on with the cabinet build
mgb:

keep it up, I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes out

Bathroom has been sucking all of my time but that project is almost done..
Did some design work on my marquee.
Here it is..
Thinking i will have some vines and trees running down the bezel to tie everything together before i get to the CP.
