So at this its gutting time

Here is my plan
Fix old wodding working and paint
Castings and reinforce the base
new t molding and marquee
24"LED
Modding a Xarcade tankstick with sanwa and happ comp buttons
running a pc with maxiums arcade and ps3
2.1 speakers and sub
led coin lights

That's all I can think of.

WEEK ONE TARE DOWN!!!!

IT seems it used to be old SF3 cab

it looks like it was being using as 1943 ( any cool vertical game like that haha) the CP still has the 6 button layout under the bondo

WEEK 3 REPAIR AND PAINT

I bluid i nice strong holder out of 3/4 mdf so i can remove the tankstick and also the keyboard and mouse underneath.

Remove the old racing pendel, repair the bottom corners, reinforced the bottom and added 2" casters. ( best decision so far) and gave it 3 layers of Gloss paint with
foam roller very happy with the result so far

WEEK 4 GETTING CLOSE!!!!!

I grabbed the tankstick for 100 bucks on kijiji it came with both pc and ps3 attachments so i couldnt say no

But the buttons are ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---!!!! so grabbed two sanwa JLF's with 12 happ comp buttons. i like the concaved style because it reminds of my youth haha now that its done time to move on!!!!

With all the buttons swapped out tankstick is done. i bought small 14" light at homedepot for marquee my bright red t molding came in from tmolding.com (where else

. Bought myself a 24" LED ASUS monitor, it has dvi hdmi and vga. so im set for everything i need

mounted to 1 X 6 plywood. braced with 3/4 mdf. Its not going anywhere

for the pc i use a DVI to HDMI cable

BTW Martijn your one of the main reasons i am bluiding this

add me to PS3 if u feel like losing

Martijn · « **Reply #8 on:** September 26, 2011, 03:42:40 am »

Would be cooler if you had 1 switch that would switch everything : controls, sound, video in one turn.

I dont have a ps3 in my cabinet, i went for a 360

jayska01 · « **Reply #9 on:** September 26, 2011, 11:04:16 am »

That's was the best idea at the time how are you switching

Martijn · « **Reply #10 on:** September 26, 2011, 11:09:22 am »

I am not switching, its dedicated to xbox 360. Its a jtagged console, meaning it runs emulators and mame with that and xbox360 games

jayska01 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 26, 2011, 06:26:25 pm »

The video switch it all I need the audio cable is shared, and the monitor will always be hdmi feed. Sowith a click of my remote I can simply switch between pc or ps3 no opening needed

Dude, someone stole the paint off your low rider!

jayska01 · « **Reply #13 on:** September 26, 2011, 10:35:43 pm »

Paint is over rated

all i need is clear coat!!!

Martijn · « **Reply #14 on:** September 27, 2011, 05:50:21 am »

Actually I own a air bagged wagon, does that count? But I'm a big fan of mini trucks, maybe I'll get one in the future.

As for the arcade machine, I don't any pictures of it since it's on my old computer, but I'll make one later when I save up the money.
