Just won this
Very happy with £45.44 winning price, I will be collecting on the 24th - more pics and progress to follow ;)
roguetel:
That looks like a good project for sure!
I want one, too! I had forgotten about getting one until I saw yours. I will watch to see what you create with anticipation.

Got it home, stripped out the busted coin mech, coin box, old wiring and service switches - didn't find a penny ;)
I have decased and dry mounted a panasonic 14" scart (rgb) TV and have it running via soft15k
TV is an almost perfect fit for the bezel and looks great!
Monitor needs to be raised about 1" to sit flush with the bezel.
Almost everything has fallen into place pretty easily, cant see any major issues with this project.
The only thing I'm not certain of is the control panels, at the moment there are 2 joysticks per player a 2way horizontal on the left, single fire button and a 4 way on the right.
I definitely want an 8 way on there and 3 fire buttons... need to have a think.

I really like the look of that bezel. :) TV looks like a great fit as well. I just wonder how you're supposed to play comfortably with the controls mounted like that? What were they thinking? :dizzy:

Make the player as uncomfortable as possible to prevent longer sessions and earn more cash ;)
In all honesty, its not that bad when you are playing - just use your knuckle or thumb to fire!
I may well rework the CP's once I have finalised the layout.
