CNC Cut Bartop Kits - Orders Open! New Models Available!

[stoopid2001]

I have a two player Haruman I'm about to assemble.  Is there anything you guys recommend doing before I glue it together?  I was thinking mounting the speakers would be easier before I glue

Yes, that might make it a bit easier.

I had a little trouble mounting the marquee light after assembly too.

I used cold cathode lights with the included velcro for mine, worked pretty well (installed after assembly).

Pro tip, right here. ^^ Unless you're going with the retro "yellowed" look, there's no reason not to go with these little babies. Inexpensive, light, and oh so bright.

Hey guys or HaRuMaN, does anyone have the widescreen bartop (2 player) cnc plans or templates?  I want to attempt this.  I suck at cutting wood so was going to print the CNC plans to scale and use it.  I did download the sides that were posted at the beginging of the thread but was looking for inside measurments etc.  Any help is highly appreciated.  Damn HaRuMaN does great work!  Very creative!!!

Thank you

The widescreen is simply the weecade (standard) bartop with the internal panels stretched to 22".  The sides are the same. 

I can still host them somewhere if you need them. 

[Baezl]

Thanks .  I emailed you on your site about buying 3-5 units.  Do you do a discount?  If you have the CNC plans yes, then I will take them if its not too much trouble.  Either way, if you send them, we still want to buy some units, I just want to build one with my son for fun. 

Your the man!!

Thank you

Hey guys!  Long time lurker on this post.  In fact, I went through page by page for the last day or so.  I gotta say HaRuMaN's designs and CNC production is amazing!  I really think you all collectively improve on the interest on bartop arcades.  It's incredible!   

Now that the gushfest is done.  I wanted to get down to some business.  Oh yes, I want one.  I wanted to know a few things.  I've scanned back in the last 2 pages of this post and I gotta say, I love that Nintendo design.  It's really awesome.  I am for sure interested in getting one that will fit a 19" vertically.  Has anyone tried this?  If so, do we have any real pictures of this?

HaRuMaN - If I intend to get the Nintendo version, I wanted to know how the plexiglass situation goes.  How does it mount?  Also were you able to experiment with Nintendo buttons?  Will they clear?  Forgive me on my ignorance here, I just didn't see much detail on this.  We could move this over to a PM if needed.

Thanks,
Spencer

[HaRuMaN]

I am pretty certain a 19" will mount vertically, I have one at home I can measure to double check. 

The marquee is held on at the top with a piece of L-channel, and at the bottom with a piece of H-channel.  The top of the bezel fits into the bottom of the H-chanel, and I have a mounting slot at the bottom for the bezel.

Got a drawing or pictures of Nintendo buttons?  I don't see what would cause them not to clear, but I would need to see some to be sure.

Thanks!

Right on, Lee.  I appreciate the response.  Here is what I can dig up (attached below).  I imagine it would be okay, I figured I would ask.

Is the h-channel and t-channel included in the price for the marquee and monitor plexi?  I saw a few folks were showing off cabarets.  Have you thoughts about getting these done through a CNC guy?  If so, do you have an idea of cost to do it (maybe a ball park on shipping?)?  It's not for me, but I have a friend whom I was telling him about all the work and success you had on these bartops.  Then I started showing him some of the testimonials.

Yeah, that button should fine.  H & L channel are available for an additional $15.  I custom cut them to size to fit each cab. 

I have drawn plans up for a cabaret, I think I got an estimate from my CNC guy, let me take a look.

Sounds good!  I've sent a PM.     I should probably stop using that emote before Rick finds out.

Rick secretly does it, too...

I got the two player model and I'm planning on putting Sanwa sticks in it.  Will they feel ok just mounted underneath?  Or should I get the extended shafts?  The bottom of the CP isn't routed for them.

The CP is 1/2" thick...  you may want to think about the extended shafts

[Rick]

The CP is 1/2" thick...  you may want to think about the extended shafts.

It's totally a judgment call, really. I ordered Jiffy Sticks (Sanwa clones) and with regular shafts and using 5/8" MDF, they fit well into my bartop.



I personally wouldn't install longer shafts, but to each his own.

yes

Excellent!  I wasn't sure because I didn't see them for sell on your site anymore, but now I see on the front page that the Midway cocktail is being redesigned.  Do you know when the redesign will be ready for shipping and the price?

It's the next one on my plate.  Should be very soon, price for cherry woodgrain melamine would be ~$220 shipped.  Can also do a cabinet grade baltic birch for around $260 shipped (this one you would need to stain or something to finish).  Both are 1/2" materials.

Well, ZapCon is less than 2 weeks away.  I'll be there set up as a vendor.  I've been working feverishly to finish off some bartops for the show.  Looks like I'll have:

MDF Weecade V1 running a DC with VGA box and Mini-SLG
Melamine Weecade V2 running MAME with a prototype howler PCB (courtesy of Wolfware Technologies Inc.) and RGB controls (courtesy of Paradise Arcade)
Melamine vertical kit running a 60-in-1 with a Mini-SLG, with Galaga artwork
Melamine Neo Geo kit running a 1 slot Neo Geo Mobo, RGB to VGA converter, Mini-SLG
Brand new widescreen kit (V2) running Xbox 360 with hacked controllers & all Sanwa controls in a Vewlix - like layout

Cheers to yotsuya for bring his haruman cocktail kit for demo.   

Anybody here plan on attending?

Oh yeah, 'cause Arizona is ... wait, what? WHO THE HELL HOLDS A CON IN ARIZONA?

The City of Phoenix is, at last count, the sixth largest city in America. So there.

Conversely, your momma does.

[opt2not]

I love Arizona...it's the closest I'll ever be to walking on Mars. Such a bazaar and surreal landscape.

As for Phoenix, I caught a Suns game there and it was pretty awesome (a lot of Canadians loved the Suns when Nash played there).
But freeway drivers are absolutely insane. First and last time in my life that I actually felt like a timid driver...and I spent 4 years driving LA rush hour, so I'm no slouch to aggressive driving.

Would really like to see that widescreen v2 in real life....any chance you could post some pictures of that?

I, unlike Rick...don't care if you use your crappy cell phone camera.  ;-)  LOL

I'm kicking around the idea to come.  I can't make CAX which is right in my backyard (I'll be in Lincoln, NE ugh that week) but I'd like to go to one of these cons, plus I'd love to see some of your stuff built up and in the flesh.  Add in the bonus of getting to meet Yotsuya....who wouldn't consider that tempting!  ;-)
