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

[monkeybomb]

So, I've been slowly compiling design changes, and have been testing out some new hardware to make these kits better... 

Some changes are in the works!   

I definitely don't want the suggestions to take away from what the cabinet offers.  If no changes are made at all, I still plan on getting another one.  The obstacles are space in the living room and time.  At some point my children will need to understand that making room for my toys is just as important as making room for theirs.   

If you are looking to improve design, the CP mounting is probably the place, but adding to the instructions would go a lot further than design changes for me. FWIW I have the Golden Age Vertical and the kit didn't really cause the hurdles as much as I did.  Idiot proof instructions are the solution for that.

Pick what you think is the best way to mount the CP and put the recommendation in the instructions.  If people want to do something else, they will.  You can add the early speaker mounting and goldleaf type button recommendations if you agree with those.  In the end, I liked the option of putting the hole for the cable where I wanted, but it's another spot where officially giving your opinion would be nice,  The way to keep the back on is another.  I used the same velcro as the cp and it works well.

Hi HaRuMaN,

Do you share the plans for your other variants as well? I am interested in getting the 2 player wider cabinet CNC cut here in the UK as shipping from the US is not an option. Do you have a shared repository of all your models?

Thanks!

Here is my current revision of the CNC plans:

Hi, could you tell me what primer & paint (how many layers) you used to get that white finish?
Many thanks!

Don't think it is painted - they cut white Melamine panels that already had the white surface and covered the exposed areas with the t-molding.

Correct.  That is 3/4" white melamine coated particle board.

Apologies if I am being thick but you replied without any text?
The link in the initial quote from your message back in Feb only points to 1 design, I was wondering if you also shared the designs of the wider kits?

I have a question regarding the Widescreen version.  It might sound a bit stupid, but I'll be ordering one shortly and was trying to plan it out.
(Ref:  http://shop.harumancustoms.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=51)

On the "admin" panel (vertical, front) there's holes for 6 buttons, 3 under each player.  What would be recommended for these, probably for a Pandora's Box (most likely) or a Mini-ITX MAME setup (later)?

I can see having Player 1/2 and Coin 1/2, but what would some of you recommend for the 3rd button on each side?  I did a CP a few years ago and have pause, menu (tab), and enter, but the grouping would look strange like that.  I have no problems drilling extra holes as necessary and prefer to keep the non-standard controls separate from the rest, but blanks always looked odd (not to mention they seem to cost more than actual buttons  ).

Was kind of designed with MAME in mind, so a Pause and Exit button as well. 

That being said, if you only want 2 on each side, let me know when you order, and I can change it.  No charge for modifications like that.

Hello everyone,

I just ordered my first kit from HaRuMaN, and i'm very excited to get started. My brother has been wanting to buy an old arcade for quite a while, so i'm hoping to surprise him with a much nicer/more modern alternative.

Problem is, I have almost no experience with any of this with the exception of using RetroPie. Based on what i've read through the tons of pages on this thread, i'm thinking of going with the ipac-2 controller, but i'm at a loss for what buttons and other accessories I should go with. I'd like to emulate 05SRT4's build as much as possible.

Any advice you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Start by reading my review of it:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,147711.0.html

That should help you choose the right buttons for you.

The Goldleaf buttons that yotsuya talks about can be found here: http://www.ultimarc.com/goldleaf.html

Speaking of which, Haruman, you should put an option on your website so that the buyer can choose with or without admin CP button holes. Would save you time on the drilling, and people wouldn't have to contact you to request it. I'd have at least 1 button for the admin CP on the right side though. There is nothing that it will get in the way of over there. Then a person could go coin and start on top, and pause on the admin CP, everything else, into the iPac shift function.

[TheGuy]

Awesome. That's actually very helpful. I've ordered a couple more things for the build, and was able to sneakily get some info on what kind of art to add to the cabinet.

[HaRuMaN]

I have 2 extra kits sitting here due to me getting a little slap happy with my ordering.  Both are Minitendo variety, one is black melamine, one is baltic birch.

Yes.  I'm working on having more customization available from the main order page to make it smoother.  Have incorporated materials already, control panel layouts should be next.

 

[yotsuya]

Bro price to 85015?

[HaRuMaN]

Bro price to 85015?

For which one?  Baltic Birch one is a little more

[yotsuya]

Someone else buy these bar tops before I'm tempted.

[yotsuya]

Save them and sell them at the knock off 2.

Hello All,

I'm think of buying my first kit from haruman.  I was leaning towards the Ultimate Widescreen kit.  Does anyone know if the OMNI2 joysticks and the Spectra Eclipse push buttons will fit with default control panel or would I have get it custom routed and cut.

Thanks in advanced

I would need to change the control panel for those, but that's easy enough, and no extra charge.   

[HaRuMaN]

Ugh.  Something's wrong with the SQL on my shop, it's kinda working again now, but still pretty buggy.  If you need anything, let me know.  Until then I'm working with my host to sort it out.   

[HaRuMaN]

Back up!

[jackfrost2015]

Great thank you.    Just placed the order.  i also asked if 4 holes could be added to the admin panel 2 on each side 1 for usb extention and 1 for the NovaGemCDR™ Coin Drop Replacement Pushbutton.  Thanks again,  Can't wait to get started,

Order received, and no problem!

Has anyone ripped the buttons and joysticks out of an Xarcade and put them in one of Haruman's kits?  I'm tired of stumbling over my half-completed bartop every time I walk in my work room and not actually playing any games... esp. since it's winter here now and I know I won't work on it anymore until next Spring/Summer...  So I think a Haruman kit would be a good christmas present to the family (er... myself)
