Galaga Bartop2 Completed 7/20/2011
BobA:
I have heard alot of complaints about the sound quality of the 60 in 1 boards. The difference between this cab and my previous one is night and day. I think it has to do with the quality of the speaker. It is about twice as large and has a huge magnet. The first cab had a very small speaker in comparison. This cannot change some of the sound emulation problems inherent to the board but it gives very good sound at a fairly low volume level so it just seems to work better. :D
BobA:
Needed a marquee light that runs on 12 Vdc. Found the perfect answer at Loews. 10 inch single strip LED light runs on a 12 volt wall wart or can be run off 12 Vdc from the PC power supply. You can attach up to 4 in series with the wall wart. There were no light strips without the complete setup when I bought this one. $15 in Canada. No shipping and no duty. Easier than ordering a nova matrix LED from GGG. Might not be as bright but it was easy to get. LEDs are brighter than they appear on camera.
IG-88:
Couple more questions for you Bob, on the boards you use, are they version A's or B's?
And secondly, when you cut that shelving, have you ran into any issues with it chipping?
ps. Got my Kreg Jig jr. in the mail the other day. Can't wait to try it out! Now if the temps outside will drop a bit! :censored:
BobA:
Original board was one with the plastic covering with squares. New board is a smaller unit that does not have the covering and is a bit more compact. I have seen it referred to as a B board but not exactly sure what that means.
I did not have any chipping when I cut my melamine covered mdf. I used a fairly fine toothed blade in the table saw and a fine toothed blade when I used my scroll saw. No tape or any other protection was applied. To cut out the sides I used a router and a plywood pattern.
BobA:
Installed T-Molding, Marquee, Bezel, Sideart and Misc art. Screwed in back as hinge and lock probably not needed because need for access is minimal.
Complete ;D ;D
22 days start to finish.
