Did you check the edge connector at your game PCB? Replace fuse holders? Pac cabs are notorious for this and the wave you are describing sounds like it could be power related. Enjoying this thread, used to enjoy this show back in the day.

Thanks, my friend. It's a JAMMA cab with brand new wiring and no fuse holders. The monitor swap worked all good, so I'm pretty happy.

I see! Kinda an odd problem then, but I'm glad you got it sorted.

yotsuya · « **Reply #162 on:** March 11, 2014, 06:17:10 pm »

Thanks, Orion! I'm glad it worked out, too. It was either that or source a different monitor locally or via eBay.

Bondo dried, so I went ahead and sanded the control panel, then primered it. I hope to paint it tonight, then put the wrap on tomorrow. Good times!

FIFY. When you use the word "happy" it just feels out of place.

HAHAHAH! Then you need to substitute "quite" for "pretty".

That control panel is so... METAL!!!

yotsuya · « **Reply #166 on:** March 11, 2014, 10:38:24 pm »

Metal control panels all the way!

Got word my side art is getting die cut today. Should have it in hand soon. So exciting!

That turned out nice and clean. Keep up the great work

Hell yeah.

I'm liking this pace!

If you're looking for more details, might I suggest getting creative with that bezel: Cut out, and glue Silver Foil Craft Paper to the screw-head graphics.

Heck, I'd even try to incorporate it into the CP somehow.

Just a suggestion...

yotsuya · « **Reply #170 on:** March 12, 2014, 06:03:16 pm »

Thanks, bro.

I've got some things up the hypercolor sleeve for the CP... don't worry.

yotsuya · « **Reply #171 on:** March 13, 2014, 01:07:20 am »

Some subtle joystick lighting.... God bless Nephrings!

yotsuya · « **Reply #172 on:** March 13, 2014, 02:04:24 am »

Oh, and I got word from Lucian045 that I should have my artwork by Friday! Chuffed ahoy!

opt2not · « **Reply #173 on:** March 13, 2014, 03:55:36 am »

Hella chuffed.

wp34 · « **Reply #174 on:** March 13, 2014, 01:04:16 pm »

That looks fantastic so far.

Where these old ones you bought or the latest batch? Didn't hear word on the "last EVA" batch so was just curious.

yotsuya · « **Reply #178 on:** March 13, 2014, 06:40:11 pm »

These were ones I had from the first run.

AlienInferno · « **Reply #179 on:** March 14, 2014, 05:39:49 pm »

Good job on the theme and the cab man. I'm liking it. Didn't run across this game until I got into Mame but it is a fun one.

yotsuya · « **Reply #180 on:** March 14, 2014, 08:38:33 pm »

Thanks, my friend. I appreciate it.

I got the artwork from Lucian045 today. Wow. Just wow. My wife is making me go to happy hour or I'd post more, but let me just day I'm so chuffed that I ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- a brick. Awesome stuff! More tonight!

Making you go to happy hour? Rough life man!

yotsuya · « **Reply #182 on:** March 14, 2014, 09:19:20 pm »

Well, it's all her work friends, so.....

Drinking a beer, eating shrimp, and feeling chuffed.

yotsuya · « **Reply #183 on:** March 14, 2014, 09:27:09 pm »

Hey, Slippy, you going to the repair party tomorrow?

yotsuya · « **Reply #184 on:** March 15, 2014, 01:53:48 am »

Man.

Oh man.

Side art installed. Pants wet. Quite chuffed.

See photo.

Check out Lucian045's stickied thread for installation details. I'll go into more detail later, but I just had to share.

TKW4rr10r · « **Reply #185 on:** March 15, 2014, 06:23:32 am »

Awesome work!!!

opt2not · « **Reply #186 on:** March 15, 2014, 04:43:34 pm »

Oh man great job! It looks really awesome, and I'm quite impressed by your artistic choices. The cab looks like a dedicated!
I love how the red t-molding and the red in the cp front really accent the contours of the cab. Then it ties together with the side art logo...this is how you do it folks!

Great theme, great execution, and I was really impressed by your project pace.
I think we got our first entry to the Stand-up award for this year.

Looking forward to more pics!

Slippyblade · « **Reply #187 on:** March 15, 2014, 04:46:18 pm »

Can't wait to spend some time playing it at Zapcon!

harveybirdman · « **Reply #188 on:** March 15, 2014, 05:36:55 pm »

It's beautiful and extremely well executed.

This sort of makes up for not seeing Opt2Nots Alpha One completed.

Almost... But not really. He still needs to deliver.

And to clarify... Beautiful job on this project yotsuya!

talkgeek · « **Reply #191 on:** March 15, 2014, 08:46:11 pm »

Totally backing opt2not's comments
- it's Mint, seriously a full on mint job, well done!

wish I could see / play it in person!

yotsuya · « **Reply #192 on:** March 16, 2014, 12:00:14 am »

Thanks for all the kind words, guys! It's appreciated.

I'll do some final pics soon. I'm waiting on one more part to make it 100% complete.

But serious, BYOAC Brother rhys here is assisting me with the final piece of the puzzle.

yotsuya · « **Reply #197 on:** March 18, 2014, 01:59:17 pm »

Still working on some of the control panel design elements, but one thing I did was add some clear dustwashers. I'm pleased with the results. Nephrings + Clear Dustwashers = #Winning

Vigo · « **Reply #198 on:** March 18, 2014, 02:17:04 pm »

Nice! Did you make em or buy em?

yotsuya · « **Reply #199 on:** March 18, 2014, 02:18:29 pm »

I bought them a while back and remembered that I had them. It looks great and protects the NephRing chamber.
