Robotron 2084 Convert to Mame/Multi

(1/3) > >>

silar:
I've been wanting to do this since Mame came out around 1997, so roughly 16 years later, I finally picked up my empty cab.  It's a 1982 dated Robotron 2084.  came with the sides laminated in a red color formica.  Also came with the original Coin Mech Inc. coin door and mechanism, and front smoked glass.  It diid not have any control panel attached, so I was going to have to build my own.

I opted to remove the laminate since it made the sides a bit thicker and sticks out just past the existing T-molding. 

Here is a drawing I made to scale in sketchup of the cab and what I am doing for a control panel.

I'll post more pics later when I get them off my phone...

Here is what the cab looked like when I got it.

I took the security bars off and filled the holes, sanded and repainted blue.  I also cleaned up the coin door and mech and made my own inserts for the reject buttons....

Here's what the cab sides look like without the laminate.  I pulled it off and have a lot of hardened contact cement to deal with, but am slowly working on it....  BTW, from what I have found...  a heat gun and scraper work better than using any chemicals, and leaves less of a mess..   ;)

Here's the control panel based on my sketchup drawing.  T-molding slots are already cut.  I went for a fighter type layout with buttons on the sides for pinball also.  The top is removable and I'll house the keyboard and mouse in there...  This is right after I assembed the control panel base and filled the screw holes and a few dings...
