However I need to extend the two pieces of wood above and below the light board outward slightly which should help. If there is an issue, I'll probably buy one of those diffusers that can be used with LED strip lights. Once I get hold of a marquee we'll see what issues there are ;D |

As stated on YouTube comments.. I have a friend confirming all the measurements for me. I'll share my plans once done. I'm also fitting all the big boy art to fit this one. ;D I'm also curious how your control panel will turn out. I'm still figuring out the best way. |

I think I may have already committed to this measurement on my cab but I would like to see how close it is to the original as I measured it by eye looking at photos online. With regards to the control panel, I'm probably going to build one. The original is a wooden CP with metal overlay, so I should be able to make the wooden part myself ok and then ask someone locally to fabricate the metal overlay. I think I should be able to get the artwork for the top of the CP ok, however the silkscreened art on the front of the CP I haven't figured out yet. --- Quote from: kamshaft on March 22, 2015, 07:38:06 am ---If you need a control panel, check this guy out... http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?p=1854736#post1854736 --- End quote --- Thanks for the link, however that thread seems to be from 2011/2012 so I'm not sure if the guy is still making them. If he is, this may be a good solution for someone in the US, however I suspect that this may cost a fair bit more to get it shipped over to the UK. |

I know John Jacobsen from John's Arcade took his apart on camera. I'll have to go back and see. The wood backing on the CP should easy to reproduce. --- Quote from: Shun on March 22, 2015, 08:49:41 am ---Thanks for the link, however that thread seems to be from 2011/2012 so I'm not sure if the guy is still making them.

Not sure if he's got part available. We'll see. |
