I've been planning on doing a second bartop to fill in some of the gaps in games I like to play, and recently picked up one of the 7"
Winbook windows tablets for $60. After playing with it a bit thought it could be made into a nice little mini bartop, and to go one step further it's going to have an automatic rotating display. I've been asking questions around, have parts ordered, and been working on a sketchup model. I will be going the direct drive servo route such as byancey did on his
here.The shape is based off the Zaxxon/Super Zaxxon cabaret cabinet, fairly simple, but not like everything else out there.
So here is the front view, single player, dual joystick, yes a button top ball joystick because... Battlezone
Here is the side view showing the theme of the cab, artwork still a work in progress, but k.i.s.s. is what I'm going for.
A 3/4 rear cutaway view showing the rough design for the tablet mount and rotating bezel piece. Will be a round bezel behind the front rectangular one.
And finally a overview shot.
