Nice crate. How heavy did it end up being?

They are secure but I don't want to rely on them for carrying.

Dust washers just arrived. Made to order they look just great

Justin is the nicest guy and will help you come up with great ideas for your build. Please support him and his work and get your custom washers made by him. Here's a link to his store...

So did anyone else start building one of these? Just wondering how their experience was with the plans, fitting etc>? I would be cool to see one built for a different theme

I am planning on building this. Unfortunately, I am going to have to totally copy your art as well since I am no designer. It would be cool to somehow make it the Ms. Pacman / Galaga theme, maybe I could pay you to create a Galaga design for half of it...

Maximus · « **Reply #335 on:** April 17, 2013, 01:15:38 pm »

Yeah feel free to use the art and templates, they are all in the original post. As for creating new art, sorry brother I am buried in projects with no time to do them.

Ha' You think that's hard. You should try packing all the components for a Gas Turbine

Can you remember what the weight was fully packaged in the end

Maximus · « **Reply #337 on:** April 17, 2013, 02:41:50 pm »

I think it was about 110lbs

Sshado · « **Reply #339 on:** April 18, 2013, 12:28:49 pm »

OK, I am trying to stick as close to your plan as I can. Do you have a list of what parts you used and where you got them?

I ordered the Pink Ball Tops from Cajun Arcade
Sent a message to TEFightStands about the pink washers
Ordered 60n1 PCB board / Wiring Harness / 16a Power Supply from Amazon (Paradise Arcade) - cheaper at Cajun, saw too late
Ordered power inlet / cord from Amazon

Will get my printing done through Game on Grafix

Which joysticks (Ms Pacman/Galaga replacements or zippy short shaft?) / buttons / chrome buttons did you order and from where?

Where and which lights did you order?

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to order everything

Also, you said if one thing you would change is you would use MDF instead, would you still laminate the top of the CP if you used MDF?

My mistake was not laminating the top of the control panels, so the adhesion wasn't as good as I would have liked. I just didn't like the particleboard in general, it cut hard, blunted my tools and was too heavy.

LEDs I got from http://www.superbrightleds.com although I can't remember the exact type, they were self adhesive surface mounted. The rotating color LEDs were just the usual RGB strip and light controller you can find on Amazon.

Joysticks were Zippyy from Cajon, regular shaft I just mounted them underneath without routing recesses, you'll need that depth inside the joystick hole to mount the LEDs anyway.

Sshado · « **Reply #341 on:** April 18, 2013, 01:32:50 pm »

Cool, thanks for the fast reply. I found the LED's and am placing the order. I also ordered the long shaft zippys as the choices were short or long (no normal).

How about the buttons? Did you have to put the text in there yourself (for coin and player buttons)? And where did you order them from? I found a few sites with similar but no text.

Thanks again, can't wait to get this done (although I can't find the Samsung 214t yet)

Maximus · « **Reply #342 on:** April 18, 2013, 01:44:15 pm »

You can put any size LCD in there really, but it does look great with the huge Sammy in there. I believe I got those buttons from Paradise Arcade

I have had the plans converted to a CAD drawing in case anyone wants it. My lovely girlfriend did it for me at work. I just received the artwork from a guy over at the hyperspin forums who is also making this cabinet. The artwork looks great and I would definitely recommend him for printing.

Thread is here for the printing:

I just uploaded the complete set of art for anyone who wants to use it, it includes side panel, control panel and bezel. ... Artwork is in PDF format for easy printing or Adobe Illustrator files if you want to edit them. Cut templates are in various formats all attached to the original post.

Sorry to revive and old topic, but I'm having trouble printing this at my local Staples. The max they do for blueprint printing is 36" x 48". The file is 48" x 48". Did you give your local guy the whole file and they split it between two pieces of paper or did you need to split the file on your own and have them print each file on each paper?

Also, when they print, I'm assuming that it's actual size and they don't need to adjust anything else?

Disclaimer: Depending how my printing and cutting goes, is whether I will continue building this project or not. :-) So no guarantees!

Thanks in advance!

Not sure if this will help or not but I used the plans in the first post to split it into 2 24x48 inch jpg images (also placed them in a zip in case the forum resizes.

Thanks, those split files did the trick.

I didn't find these answers in the topic so I will ask here:
1) The wood for this project is 5/8" thick but the matching pink T-molding at t-molding.com is 3/4" http://www.t-molding.com/store/product.php?productid=66&cat=0&page=&featured=Y. Did you trim the T-molding to fit or did the thickness of the laminating process make the 3/4" molding fit?
2) What laminate thickness did you use? (link to product would be great). My guess is that is was 1/16" thick? (5/8" + 1/16" + 1/16" = 3/4"). Is this correct?
3) If that's the case (# 2 above), why not just use 3/4" for the build?

Maximus is a laminate man.....

I may be wrong but he used 1/16 laminate due to the finish instead of painting. Vinyl on laminate provides a more durable surface.

You are correct, 1/16 on both sides of 5/8 give you a perfext 3/4 width for 3/4 t-moulding.

Another reason is i think he was trying to cut the weight down as this was to be portable.

Also, trimming t-moulding is pretty easy with a razor blade, just make sure you have a sharp blade, use the edge as a guide and slowly run the blade against the excess, i do it all the time and it looks great. Nobody can tell its been trimmed.

This is the perfect time to ask my questions I guess...
When you connect the power and VGA connector to the monitor and power up does it just work or do you need to do anything with the little control strip on the monitor?
You can't see it in this pic but it's connected to the bottom corner of the monitor (little circuit board).
Also would all LCD monitors need the scanline dongle thingy?

It's not you.

Code snippet from the original post in this thread.

Code: [Select]

[size=12pt][b]Finished Cocktail Cabinet[/b][/size]
[img]http://www.kinemote.net/lmpm/Shot_Final.jpg[/img]

[size=12pt][b]Concept Art[/b][/size]
[img width=1024 height=791]http://www.kinemote.net/lmpm/mockup.jpg[/img]

MaxiGriff dropped the ball -- he posted quite a few of the pics from his (now expired) kinemote.net domain.

(at least his tapatalk pics and youtube videos are still working)

It appears that yet another well-documented and well-executed build has been lost down the memory-hole.

This is why everyone should host at least their most important/informative/relevant/useful build pictures on the arcadecontrols.com servers.
