Sega Blast City Revival - Done

I am not happy with how the 3 in 1 button looks on the panel.
So I bought a new 3 in 1 button that is for Atari’s Relief Picture arcade game.
I don’t want to put the power icon sticker on the new button.
So I made a legend for the 3 in 1 button to go into the insert coin label’s spot.

I was literally making plans to pick up this blast city when you bought it before me.  You've done one hell of a job fixing it up, far beyond what i would have ever done with it. Definitely went to a good home :)

It may just be because I drink a lot of whiskey but doesn't that power button seem a little too close to the start button?

Thanks 404, I think a couple of us on here were after it. I was lucky that is was so close to me. I helped a friend buy a Ms. Pac-Man from the same seller before. He seems to “quit” the arcade business annually but pops up, especially around the holidays, with tons of stuff to sell.  Seems like a cool guy and he drives a DeLorean!

As for the Power On button, it does nothing if pressed momentarily once the computer is on. If the power button is held for more than 10 seconds the system will hard shutdown. If this becomes a problem I could use a Normally Closed 12v relay powered by the PC to “Open” the power button circuit once the computer is turned on. This will disable the power button once the PC has power.

The PC will only run MaLa and GroovyMAME so the user needs to stop/quit MAME and then stop/quit MaLa to automatically shutdown the entire cabinet.

I also have a JAMMA fingerboard on the way so I can wire it use the coin meter, coin mech, and bill acceptor with the U360 without hacking into the already hacked wiring loom.

Thanks for the feedback. I have come back to my long notes in this thread many times to figure out what I was supposed to be doing.

Ok Yea I wouldn't imagine it being a problem then if it has to be held. I've always had mine start the shutdown sequence right away so that's why it seemed a bit risky.
