Do they all come with the Dorito bag attachment, or is that just if you buy the Galaga art?

Shaddap you.  Putting 5 bartops together is hungry work...   

[HaRuMaN]

Hmm.  What could this be...

I don't know, but it's got FIVE BUTTS!!!

I recently got the itch to get back into the hobby. I've read through some threads over the past couple weeks and came across this one. I'll be going to ZapCon on Saturday and I'll make sure to stop by your booth to chat about your bartops. I think one is going to have to be my next project.

That Neo Geo is amazing btw

If they were REALLY cool kids, they'd have the "Malenko monitor mod" on the mount. (---fudgesicle--- it, I'm making my own shirts!)

Let me know how that thing works out for ya, Josh did and awesome job.

[HaRuMaN]

Setting up for Zapcon.  And don't worry, all you potato-cam haters can rest easy, I'm bringing the GOOD cameras tomorrow & Sunday. 

Couple of unfinished bartops, the one on the left is running a howler pcb and RGB controls courtesy of Paradise Arcade.  The one on the right is running the DC.



Galaga, Neo Geo, New Widescreen with 360 and two hacked MadCatz controllers.



Another look.  I gotta thank opt2not again for his awesome work on my logo design!



And last, but not least...



 

[yotsuya]

No picture of my cocktail, bro? I hauled it half way across town for you! 

I just overheard two guys talking about how awesome your setup is. Here's hoping to make a lot of sale!

I know man, I forgot to snap a picture in all the excitement.  I'll get one tomorrow.

Sweeeeeet.  The few people we saw today seemed to like everything.     I'm not gonna sleep tonight, I can feel it. 

[Rick]

GOOD LUCK, good sir! I've run in more than my fair share of shows, so make sure you've got enough info pamphlets, business cards, and more importantly FOOD AND WATER! You may not get the chance to leave when you're popular!

[yotsuya]

Funny story-

HaRuMaN and I are there setting up his booth when this young adult kid wanders by. He starts talking to us, and he's especially taken with the Ultimate Widescreen Bartop. It's all going good, and then one of the organizers asked him who he's there with. We realized he was just some kid who wandered in off the street and walked into the venue. She kicked him out, but after he had gotten in some games of SF4. Did you hand him a business card?

I bet he was one of Rick's spies.

BTW, the Howler is pretty ---smurfing--- awesome.

[Goz]

Good luck brutha.... let us know how things go. I'm not driving still so no ZapCon for me this year.

You calling me a Fagin, son?

[stoopid2001]

Is there a project/build thread for the 360 bartop?

Do you blame him, free arcade games to play. He made his own early bird pass to get in.  lol

Lookin good Haruman!!!! Your stuff should do really well there.

[jayfrost]

Thought I would post a few pictures of my 99% complete Nintendo Cab.  The kit is great and really goes together quite well.  Took me about 8 total hours from start to finish.  This was built for my wife because she really wanted to play Donkey Kong!  This has a 60-1 Icade board with a 17in vertical vga monitor.  Be careful about the speaker that you buy for this machine.  I had a single speaker left from another project and needed to build a little workaround because a flush mount speaker is required!  Love the kit and getting ready to start on the new wide body 2 player cab for me!

[HaRuMaN]

That looks pretty incredible!   Glad to see those pictures!

It does look good! (Not to derail the awesome work, but when can we expect some pics from your show?)

Later today

sigh...

What I was hoping to see was some daily update posts throughout the day, yesterday. But no, you didn't think we were waiting to see any statuses, did you? I mean, come on man. We're chomping at the bit, here. That's certainly no way to treat your adoring fans!

Lol.  No wifi at the venue, otherwise I would have been posting non stop.  It was an exhausting weekend.  I don't think I've ever talked so much in 2 days.   

[yotsuya]

I gotta give props to my man HaRuMaN- he was at the show hustling and schmoozing. He sold one bartop there and generated a lot of interest for future orders. The man was a machine!

No cell phone signal either? I don't buy it. I call shenanigans.

Seriously, I don't doubt it. I know how shows go, and I never expected anything but a full-on schmooze-fest from "the Man" in the U.S.

[yotsuya]

I'd cover for him whenever he needed a bathroom break, but other than that, he was at the booth and always on. I give him credit- there were a lot of tire-kickers, but also a lot of genuine interest as well. He's already formluating plans for 2015!

Yeah, I have to thank yots for all the help, he made it a lot easier (and brought me 5 Guys burger for dinner) to stay all weekend long.

Yeah, we had a good time. The "Thong Alert" was my favorite!

A live blog of Zapcon would have been cool.  Or even pictures.

I noticed on the website that a vendor could get free booth space if they brought 10 machines.  Are there 10 BYOAC members in driving distance for a booth next year?  (I'm not within driving distance)

[Rick]

Yeah, we had a good time. The "Thong Alert" was my favorite!

I hereby rescind by request for pics, if any of these include Haruman or Yotsuya in a thong.
