Thinking of an upright with removable self-contained CP. Am I crazy?
(1/4) > >>
Token:
I am planning out my first build after spending the past few months marinating on BYOAC. My plan is to build an upright modeled in size and style on the Artifact build.

The one major change I will make, aside from color and artwork, is I am interested in a self-contained CP that includes all hardware needed to become a plug-and-play console. I have viewed numerous self-contained CPs here on BYOAC and elsewhere, but I haven't seen one that is also integrated into an upright cab.

Thoughts?
BadMouth:
I think it's a cool idea.  Unless you plan to have a working coin door, you just have monitor, sound & power connections.
PL1:
Just put ground and the two coin switches on a 1/8" stereo plug and you have a simple way to connect/disconnect the coin door.

Thanks for the feedback, BadMouth and PL1.

I hadn't thought about the coin door. I suppose I can live without a functioning one, or use PL1's suggestion. That would make for four connections:

1) Monitor
2) Sound
3) Power
4) Coin Door (optional)

I think the real challenge will be the size. I am planning on a 28 1/2" wide CP. The depth will be the smallest dimension I can use that will still accommodate all the hardware.

If I read this right, you want to be able to pull the CP off the machine and then take it to someone's house, hook it up to the TV, and play there, away from the cabinet at your house, correct?
