First Cabinet Build - Sapro's MAME
sapro:
UPS man brought me a lil something yesterday ;D
I'm going out tonight to see if I can get a head start on the priming/painting and will bring the CP top home to get that process started as well.
elkameleon:
sweetness!
sapro:
I'm scrambling to get this done in time now. I drove out to the shop last night and got the first coat of primer on
scream1973:
Looking good..
sapro:
Paint is done except for a little bit of touchup I'm going to do in the morning.
How am I doing on timing? I have one week to finish this.
-finish painting (doing that tomorrow)
-disassemble (doing that tomorrow)
-bring home (tomorrow)
-reassemble (tomorrow) (it was designed for this so re-assembly should take ~30 minutes)
-install t-molding (tomorrow) (probably a 15 minute job?)
-mount monitor (tomorrow) (4 screws and two wood blocks)
That leaves me 6 days to:
-finish PC software setup (it's 90% done already)
-wire power switch
-wire volume knob
-put overlay on control panel top
-install joysticks and buttons
-wire joysticks, buttons, trackball to interfaces
-configure inputs
-wire powerswitch light, trackball light, marquee light
-wire relay to switch on speaker amp
I have lots of time Sunday but after that will just have maybe an hour each evening.
