I keep clicking this graphic on your .ca website, but there's no way for you to take my loonies.

Should I link it directly to my Paypal instead of an e-mail pop-up?

I need to see products first. Who's your webmaster, HaRuMaN's?

Many, many thanks to Malenko for the (Hey, I didn't realize Galaga had six buttons?!) "artwork makeover!"

Anythign need adjusted? I was spit balling button placement based on up scaling the PDFs you sent. Looks like the width was right, lol

It's almost too perfect, sir! (I could use an additional 1/4" of overflow at the rounded edge of the control panel, but if I'm really, really careful, applying it should be fine.) It's 100% dead-on in regards to the specifications. Thanks again!

[SgtSlaughter]

Ok, progress! So, for all of you wondering what my cabinets actually look like ASSEMBLED (since it would seem that I'm a bit further ahead than many of my customers - wink, wink!)

It's on now!  I'll get this thing up and going ASAP... might have to wait on the artwork though.  Your progress looking good.  I just didn't want to post an empty shell as I figure you already had that covered... This cold weather is really screwing up my working in the garage though, even with the heater going in there I can't get it above 0.

Thats an easy peasy fix, want me to email you an updated one?

If that's ok, I'd really appreciate it. It's the only piece I can see where there's just a touch of whitespace showing. I'm sure it's an issue with my mounting - but yeah, I can NOT complain one iota about the work you did. It's pure awesome! (In fact, I'm ordering it today. I just can't decide between GameOnGrafix or SoulDraw...)

[Malenko]

CYMK files sent, and made the CP file a tad longer (adjusted canvas size, not graphics size. fille din gap with CP blue)

Sweet deal! Thanks so much!

Still proudly Canadian, huh? ARE YOU???!!!!

Yes. Yes, I am.

[yotsuya]

Canada wins! 

[Rick]

So, a customer just dropped by to pick up one of my extra Cubic arcade cabinets... ...and asked me, "hey, can you build one of these?"



So I said, "Yeah, I can build one of these."

 

[yotsuya]

I was going to post something, but that photo of that damn fine woman distracted me.

[Malenko]

Rick, art stats:

Right side : 19.64 inches wide , 29 inches tall
Left side : 19.64 inches wide, 29 inches tall (surprise!)
marquees : 20 inches wide, 5 inches tall (both versions, same size)
control panel : 20 inches wide , 7.75 inches tall
admin panel : 20 inches wide ,5.25 inches tall

[mike boss]

With my daughter just six months old I find myself having less and less time.
Not to mention I get more and more tired.
The days of trying to stay awake until the wife passes out so I can do "me stuff" dont happen.
ANYWAY ---------- one of these cabinets (as Rick knows) is on my "want list."

For anyone who bought on of these kits, are you doing a build thread ?
I'd love to see the progress and know the costs involved in the build.
(someone Canadian would be even better)

[SgtSlaughter]

I'm pretty close to doing one.  Just didn't want to post to early so it looks like progress is too slow... heh.  I'll post in this thread probably within a week.  I'm in Canada and as well have been keeping track of costs.

[yotsuya]

Just had to check in and say goodnight to the hot photo of Elisha Cuthbert.

[SgtSlaughter]

Alright Mike, you inspired me to get off ---my bottom--- and just create the thread.  Here it is http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,137425.0.html.

I don't promise it being a speedy thread, but I'll do my best.

[yotsuya]

WTF happened to the photo of Elisha Cuthbert? That's the only reason why I visit this thread, you hoser!

It's still there... maybe you went blind?

You might want to check your browser settings. I was getting a 404 on it myself. So. Updated!

[yotsuya]

Awwwwwwwwww...... I liked the other one better. Her hair looks like Bret Michaels circa 1989 there.

[Malenko]

any updated pictures of the Galaga yet?

[Rick]

any updated pictures of the Galaga yet?

Not yet, as Chinese New Year means I cannot place an order through SoulDraw until February 7. Damn.

BUT, I do have some great news - our Official Plexi Finish Kit is ready to go!

It contains two pieces of CNC cut 0.080" clear acrylic for the marquee, one piece for the bezel, and one piece to cover the control panel, all for only $45 + shipping. I just picked up the kit from the shop this morning, checked it for fit and finish, and it's PERFECT. I'll post up pics when I get the chance to clean up some of the sawdust.

[mike boss]

@ SgtSlaughter

I look forward to checking out the thread.

@ Rick

Is the plexi available for each model ?

[SgtSlaughter]

That's awesome you got the plexi package now.  $45 is a great deal for it too since it costs like $36 for the plexi from home depot.

[mike boss]

Plexi is f**king expensive ! I had mentioned to Rick that it would be cool to see some cut ready to go plexi!
So I'm glad to see its available. Someone like me would crack it or f**k it up !
Just waiting on confirmation that it is available for all units.

[Rick]

Is the plexi available for each model?

Absolutely. Right now, I'm waiting on a complete run that will work on the Cubic, Galaxy, Thunder and Titan. Beyond that, I'll be getting some cut for the Contender as well.

Thanks! I actually tried cutting it myself, and without going into too much detail, I failed dramatically. So, off to the CNC shop my order went.

[mike boss]

Great news!
Do you have a smoked plexi option also ?
(Rick, we will be in touch!)

I don't have a smoked plexi option yet, but will check into it. I do have this, mind you. Perhaps this might suffice in the interim.

[yotsuya]

Is that made out of chocolate?

[Rick]

Is that made out of chocolate?

Nope. Just a render in gloss red. Thank you, Solidworks.

[yotsuya]

I would have bought that in chocolate.

[Malenko]

Nope. Just a render in gloss red. Thank you, Solidworks.

do it again with white tmolding.

[Rick]

I'm a Solidworks rendering noob. Is this ok?
