Tempest(ish) caberet.
mgb:
Man, I'm loving this cab. Awesome job.
I personally like the contrast of the white on there.
Great job. Fast too.

Hey Player 3, yes vector only but maybe with a mix of emulators and PC games but not limited only to atari.
Very good point about analogue controls and one I`d not thought of - the stick in the cab is a jlf so digital, I guess its a compromise.
As an encoder I am using one of vigo`s` boards.
Because its seen as a gamepad and not a keyboard then xpadder will also be used.
My reasoning is that one its cheap as I already have it and secondly that I know AAE works with this set up and also the ultimarc spinner.
I have the same kit in my tron cab so was able to test AAE in it first.
Another of my cabs has an analogue ultrastick again mapped with xpadder for AAE so I can maybe do some comparisons and see if the jlf should be swapped out.

Love this project, looks really good...and I'm glad I found it as I am planning something similar, but a scaled down (75-80%) version. Only real difference is that I will be using a vertical 14" CRT.
Can I ask a few questions:
1) How does your control panel rotate? It looks like there are round recesses in the side panels...is the control panel removable?
2) Where did you get your Formica? I am struggling to find somewhere (UK) that will supply it.
3) Where did you get the marquee light?
Thanks!

Hi minwah,
Another caberet eh - good stuff!.
So;
1 - the panel is mounted with a piano hinge but is not removable without unscrewing.
2 - saxon laminates are who I used as they are local and deliver here to bristol almost daily, other supplies are from a firm by birmingham but sorry I forget the name KDF or something, I can find out if needs be, and another in south wales again my memory sucks sorry.
3 - Just a local hardware store thats on my way home, costs about £5.00 comes in lots of lengths and powers - when the time comes I can send you one if you like?.
Got some other jobs to clear up first but when done will post some more detailed shots of the cab, hopefully with the real marquee in (swear I always seem to be waiting on marquee`s no matter who I use or how much lead time I give).
Anyway get on yours keen to see it! :D .

Love the simple nature of the cab.
You CP is top shelf. 8mm acrylic and thicker is very difficult to bend cleanly, even with my professional equipment.
