Huge steps forward this week - all the electrical bits are in & working. I'm just waiting for a some new UV lights to arrive as mine as dangerous! What else... I decided to vector and redraw the marquee, top and side panels & reprint as I wasn't happy with them. They look great this time around, although I need a softer backlight, the one I have is a bit harsh. Oh, also I cut some more of the UV section out as it just wasnt big enough. I'm happy with it now & it lets more light out.
All my joystick parts arrived, I finally tracked down a suitable illuminated thumb button for the joystick.. I also got some goldleaf microswitches which I'm really happy with - this cab is almost microswitch free! Oh, I also picked up a Sanwa wireless trackball which fits nicely ontop of the control panel and lives in the coin door when not in use.
I just need to install the tron joystick, get a mains powered hub & the new UV lights and this is as good as done... Sinistar next I think..
I'm pretty happy with how this is turning out for a first build - more pics to come when its finished.
