Nice work! I've always liked the design of the final lap cab :) Are you planning to get the side art re printed?

Thanks, it was so much work. I want a reprint, but I haven't found a decent photo of the side panel that I can use the reconstruct the side art. If someone got a photo from the side, I'm up for the task.
What do you think about the 25" CRT I took from a "donor" TV? I've connected it with RGBS just like arcade monitors. The European TV's got a SCART connector which has RGBS input (some resistors and two extra voltage signals needed though).
I also need a router bit to make the groove for the t-molding. Do you know where to purchase such?

Fort the crt it really depends upon what you'll be playing on it. If you want to also add some pc racers they are going to look terrible, so a lcd might be a better option. Even model 2/supermodel stuff looks better on a lcd because the rendering is up-scaled. But if you are strictly sticking to older arcade stuff, a crt would probably be better.
I always get t-molding bits online. If you go to your local home improvement store they charge twice as much. Just make sure you get the exact size bit the t-molding supplier recommends and that it is a tri-wing type with a roller guide. All other grove bits are crap and will dig into your wood.

Only CRT for me, I would never ever put a LCD in a cabinet. In my opinion, even M2 games looks far better on a 15 kHz CRT than LCD, even if that games maybe had 24 kHz CRT originally, and with older games it feels so much more authentic. Except if I had a cab to play the high-res console/PC games of today, or a cab that had LCD originally, I would put in a LCD too.
I have 3/4 t-molding, will this work?
