Thanks for the comments guys. With regards to the coin door, I think I am going to strip the paint and sand the rust away and then either paint it myself or get it painted professionally. |

Sooooooooo, I've been pretty bad at updating this project on here and on Youtube. I forgot put update 19 on here back in September :banghead:. So, better late than never, here it is: A Pac-Man Is Born: Part 19. Bezel and Marquee - I got the piece of metal that will be the Bezel retainer, professionally folded to the correct angle as I thought this may be too hard to do with my home made metal folder. The guy only wanted £2 for this ;D Also, I received the plexi for the Bezel and Marquee. The Bezel will be made up of a smoked plexi that the artwork will be attached to and a clear plexi to protect the artwork. Here is a quick test fit of said plexi: And without the protective plastic: Looks pretty good with the CRT behind it. The Marquee will be two pieces of clear plexi that sandwich the artwork. Speaking of artwork, that arrived not long after and I stuck the Marquee artwork to one of the pieces of plexi and put the other one on top. It even stays in place without any retainers :laugh: The light from the LEDs appears to work quite well as well: Lastly I attached the Bezel artwork to the smoked plexi. This was a bit of a pain to do, but I got there in the end. The bezel is sitting a bit too high up in the picture below but this has since been rectified : Part 20 will follow shortly... |

Here is the latest update on the cab: A Pac-Man Is Born: Part 20. Big update - This is a catch up from the end of last year when I was too busy/lazy to post any updates and also recent work carried out on the cab. Firstly, I add a couple of pieces of wood behind where the Marquee plexi will sit, so that it sits out further from the LEDs. Then I got some cheap Aluminium L brackets, cut them to size and attached them with some security screws: Then with some bigger security screws, I drilled two holes in the metal Bezel "retainer" and used the screws to hold it in place: I wanted to work on the back of the cabinet next, but its such a pain having to drag the cabinet around with the monitor etc in place. So I decided to put some castors on the bottom of the cab. These might not stay on the cab but it makes it much easier to work on: I then decided to redo the lower back panel with the holes for the vents. Someone kindly on my youtube channel linked me to a diagram that they had created with the correct dimensions. So I went out and bought a flush router bit and after creating a template, I routed out the correct size holes in a new piece of MDF. Before: After: Then I added some mesh behind the holes: I then did a test fit of the back panel and created a whole so that the back of the CRT wouldn't hit it. I am going to try and replicate the "bubble" on the back of the original at some point. The back panel isn't quite perfect yet so will need some additional work: Also, I took my control panel metal to a metal fabricator who kindly sharpened the fold/bend with a proper metal folder. This looks much, much better now: Finally, I glued the front panel in place with the help of some wood screws for added strength: |
