Unstupid:
Hey very cool... The overlay looks very cool. What are you going to do for the sideart? Those hinges are nice too! Uhh... What's with the pink joystick?

Thanks!
Sideart might just be some 8x10 photo prints attached with contact cement (rough image attached below), not sure if I want to go for the full adhesive vinyl on this project. I didn't order it yet as I wanted to see how the photo print came out. Quality from Walgreens was ok, but I might try another supplier for the side art.
The pink joystick is one of two Zippyys (From Groovy Game Gear) I have set aside for another project (and I have since bought black balltops for them), just happened to be on the table from when I was comparing it to the Sanwa! ;D

Nice collection of parts. Looks like you have it all covered.

I'm sort of in the same boat with plans for my project. I'm short on cash and looking for every and any way to recycle old parts. I love the walgreens poster idea. Even without a coupon, printing a marquee and panel there is a great, inexpensive way of getting them done. Ironically I have one of the earlier jakks 5 in 1 units that i was going to turn into a mini arcade but decided that by the time i'm done with wood work, electronics etc, i could have built a mame machine. maybe a more relaxed project for the future.Very much looking forward to how this project turns out. :)

Not much progress yet- the gift recipients in question are visiting this weekend (fall break for a lot of schools here in the US), so I am taking them into Chicago for a couple of days.
I did find a anti-glare piece of smoked glass I like for this project, was originally a screen filter for a computer monitor. Only slightly wider than I need (14" instead of 13"), but I am thinking I might route some channels into the sides of the cab to hold it anyway.
Below is a pic of the insides of the game. Should be super easy to attach all the controls to it. Only thing that isn't immediately obvious is the best place to tap into for the menu button, but will look closer at that later.
