Building custom arcade cabinet

Ahhhh.. Looks really nice! Thanks for spending the time on this, much appreciated!
I did put a marquee on it, it was a marvel vs capcom on the first panel and the players below.. I'll find it and post it up.. Doors for sure ill change.. Don't get me wrong.. The self made arcade stick looks better then the tankstick,
But my concern is if any problems occur (buttons sticking), then I have to do a house call.. Whereas the customer can deal with xgaming directly or still bring it back to me for a new one and I can ship back...
But I totally understand what you mean.. It looks like one complete unit without the xarcade stick..
Mine looks like ikea furniture.. Lol which to be honest I was going for.. ;D

Reading the back and forth in this thread reminds me of the 2 thumbs vs. Superman trackball thread last year.   :banghead:   :banghead:

My response now is the same as then.

On the whole, neither side of this "discussion" has been a shining example of friendly forum behavior.

It wouldn't break my heart to see this thread consigned to Post Hell and for the parties on both sides of the argument to adopt a bit more of a to-each-their-own attitude.

Each of us can choose to act like a child or an adult -- and be judged by the forum community accordingly.

110% I said those things.. But who threw the first punch? Thank you  :applaud:
When I have 3-4 people attacking (not critiquing) me, I'm not take that  :censored: from anyone.. I hope other new board members and others see you guys for your true colors.
I will state it again.. I don't care how big you guys are in this forum or in the arcade industry, disrespect me and your garbage in my books.

It's ironic that you have said all of the above within this thread.  :applaud:

I like pocket hinges myself (as you all may know), with a neat magnetic catch.  For me, I'd do one door that swings out like on the gunslinger.  IMO, pocket hinges look pro.

Here's the hinge...from Lowes...about 6 bux apiece.  Just make sure they're "inset pocket hinges" for 3/4" panels:

These dual strike popper thingies have some good punch, too.



I put a small hole handle thing on the front of the door (I used the 1" version).  Basically use a forstner bit to make a 1/2" deep hole and tap this in:

This is how it looks opened. 


As for the thread itself, I dont' care if you sell these for a million a piece...but calling people haters, etc won't get you any fans around these parts.  Not sure how old you are, but you are indeed dealing with a bunch of grumpy old farts for the most part.  Some here were hanging out in arcades and pool halls in the 60s and 70s (me in the early 80s).

As for tanksticks, I've never had one or held one in my hands.  To me they're silly since building a tankstick is probably cheaper with better components, but that's just me.

Oh, and P.P.S,

Scott,
Is there anything Rush can't solve?
