Nephew's Birthday Present - Mini
CoryBee:
Speaker Piece
Routed for T-Molding
Didn't want to find another way to fit the Control Panel and the lexan in the space of the of the t-molding so I did the same thing as on the 2-player bartop and just routed out a lexan sized layer off the top of the CP.
Filled some of the holes with wood glue puddy stuffs and waiting for it to dry before putting the primer on it. Will be posting more updates soon. :cheers:

Got a ton of work done on it with the help of the Brother. Many o pictures to be looked at
Paint it
Got a cheap PC amp at a thrift store for $3 bucks. Turns out it was a Yamaha and sounded amazing (and very clear even when turned up loud)
Came up with an idea to use a 3.5mm Audio Jack to use as an input for a smart phone or mp3 player to make use of the awesome sound. So you just plug an mp3 device into the jack on top and the PC audio dims to allow for crisp music enjoyment :applaud: Just lay your phone or whatever on top. This will get more use from the father than the nephew but whatever, makes for an awesome little boombox.
Acrylic cut to size and routed, holes drilled
Made up the CP art real fast like because it needs to be done on thanksgiving (also his birthday) Didn't account for where their heads would be :laugh2: But he loves it and recognizes it either way (will make more of an effort later)
T-molding a flat black paint
Just need a few more things done and he can jam on it - Screen Bezel, Software, and Marquee Printed -
Extra shots - Absolutely a blast to play on it despite it's size (on a table)

Nicely done. If you buy some clear buttons you can save the art by putting the cut outs inside the buttons. Also how about a coin door? It could be the best piggy bank ever!!!!
:cheers:

Haha, I thought of the same thing. Clear buttons with the cutouts in them :laugh:
Not so sure he would use the Coin Door, a piggy bank he would though. Just trying to make something cheap with my brother that looks nice and his 2 year old son (3 tomorrow) will enjoy for years to come :cheers:

I'd strongly suggest redoing the CP art. You can actually only see one face out of all the charactes there. >:D
