Galaga Bartop2 Completed 7/20/2011

<< < (4/8) > >>

BobA:
As far as I know it is still running.  Have not had a service call on it yet.  Compact mame was upgraded and then just a couple of weeks ago I deconstructed it to reclaim the parts.   The mdf shell will be going to the dump but the bartops that I have on the go may get a few parts from it.  Audio amp, speakers, power relay, florescent light, computer etc etc.

 :(  I wouldn't have had the heart to do it. I get emotionally attached to these things for some adolescent reason.

BobA - I like really your idea of using black melamine coated mdf.  I found 4x8 sheets of 3/4" black melamine at my local Menards today.  Would you recommend using it for a full-size cabinet?  I would like to avoid laminating (or painting for that matter) but can't decide how durable it will be.

BobA:
Most commercial cabs are made from this material or even cheaper melamine coated particle board.  MDF is nicer to work with.

Thanks.  I think the sheets I found are actually particle board and not MDF.  On sale for $23.99 this week so I might pick up a sheet to play around with.
