Pac-Man Cocktail, Midway-Style [Finished]
Gaaargh:
I heading across the border tomorrow to pick up the T-Molding, and I should have the control panel overlays this weekend too.
I have the plexi I'm usingon the control panels, but I still need to cut & drill it.
Gaaargh:
I am having the glass cut locally, and have a few questions about size.
I have the standard ArcadeDepot kit. The sizing I have for replacement Ms. Pac-Man glass is 22"x32", with corners cut to a 3-1/2" radius.
Measuring my top, it comes in arounf 21-1/2" x 31-1/2", even with the t-molding installed i don't think I'll hit 22"x32".
Is 22"x32" still the appropriate size for the glass?

Gaaargh, did you finalize your Mala layout? You mentioned that you wanted to add some controls on the bottom. Would you be willing to share your layout? I love the simple design of yours, and it obviously fits my theme...

I've actually been making progress on the machine, but haven't gotten around to writing the updates.

Gaaargh, did you find a way to use both player 1 and player 2 start buttons to select a game from the mala menu? I ask because your mala layout shows both buttons, but I haven't been able to find a way.
Gaaargh:
After bit of a break (once the control panels were wired, the building stopped)
- CW, I did not find a way.
I ended up ordering the glass from Twisted Quarter, none of the local glass shops do their own tempering, so i would have had to pay their retail cost plus shipping. Thumbs down to that.
Gaaargh:
I made a bit of progess, and was doing the final mount of the bezel & tinted glass, when I dropped an extension cord on the monitor. It was turned off, and I didn't see any damage, so continued to install. When I powered back up, I could see a spider-web crack in the tinted glass layer of the monitor.
I couldn't find any 2nd hand locally, but luckily a 22" TV came with a new dining table set, and I was able to sub that in for the 19" LCD from my parents' place.
Here's where I'm at now. Pics to follow.
