TIME-OUT... my project
rcub3:
The coin trick above actually worked. We'll see how long it'll last.
Had a little bit of time to work on something that is really minor at this moment in my project, but it was still very cool. I replaced the trigger joystick's black handle with the blue cover from GGG. Also replaced the restrictor to a custom 4 way restrictor, for that extra Tron feel.

Not much progress this weekend... no access to the tools I need to work on the cab. In the meantime, I installed the octagonal restrictors on my u360's. Also, I've been playing around with some of the artwork I'm thinking of using. I am definitively going for a retrofuturistic space theme. Here are some of the images I'm thinking of using.
The space station one (Orion.jpg) will be for the marquee (got the idea from Arcade Odyssey project... in fact, my cab is heavily inspired by that project). The second image will be the CP art. I'll likely mute the colors quite a bit, and maybe even add more blue tones, so it doesn't look too busy. The side art2 image will be just that. I'm thinking of adding some space invaders to that image, or something.
Just thought it would be cool to have a space station on the marquee, the side art depicts the humans looking up ready for action (or freaking out), and the CP art looks like the base on the ground.
Still a work in progress....

So you went with the Tron stick... well done. I really ought to get one of the new restrictors and replace the old one in my mechanism.
Fear not the villagers and their puny pitchforks, Dr. Fronkensteen! Totally worth it! :cheers:

Yes I did. But i'm keeping that second panel locked away in a closet, so it'll only show its ugly face when needed.
Btw, if by any chance anyone has seen the art above at decent resolutions, please let me know. As you'd expect i'm having issues enlarging those images. PS does a decent job adding "non-existent" pixels, but i'm afraid it will look terrible once i get it printed.

Due to manufacturing changes made to the rails, which caused the rails to be slightly narrower, this step required an update. My apologies, the owner has not updated the PDF yet to reflect this change. On the bottom of panel "Y" are piloted holes where the screws should be located for attaching the slides. For best results use a coin as a spacer between panel "Y" and the slide before screwing it in. This will provide the necessary spacing required to keep the slides in the rails.

Woot!
Same problem, will try this as well!
Doing a very similar build, mostly vanilla with a few tweaks. I haven't decided on a plan for my speakers yet but like what you've done. Luck!
