Sega Blast City Revival - Done

Finished cleaning the top half of the control panel. Mildew stain remover and Magic Eraser worked wonders on the fiberglass.

The 3 in 1 button looks weird but it is a function over fashion replacement for the big Turkey Hunting start button installed by previous owner during conversion from Bass Fishing. I did not cut this hole.

The 3 in 1 function will be: yellow to turn the PC on (power switch), red to pause/exit/no, and green to confirm exit/yes (also tied to player 1 start to launch game from front end).

Exiting from the front end shuts down the PC on a smart strip that turns off the monitor and cabinet. The yellow power button can also be held down to force the system to shutdown (normal for ATX).

I mounted the controls to the control panel.
The two Ultimarc Ultrastik 360 joysticks fit perfectly.
Currently going stock with no restrictors but have two octagonal restrictors to try.

Looks like a knock off Simon game on the panel.
Custom Trivial Pursuit controls!
BYOAC radiation

Next is to finish cleaning the rest of the cabinet and wire it all up.

What size screws did you have to get to mount your U360s on that panel?  I have the same one and am using zip ties at the moment.  Looks great!

Scored a working Stackerless Bill Acceptor / Validator for $11 shipped. Was searching for a Bill Acceptor Blanking Plate when I took the chance on the cheaper, but untested, Bill Acceptor.

It can accept “small face” 1, 5, 10, and 20 dollar bills so the current $1 bill is still good.

The cabinet already accepts Quarters and .984 tokens.
