Pac-Man Cabaret scratch build - 100% complete!
<< < (2/11) > >>

The next things to add to the cab were the "runners" that support the bezel and the speaker panel.
I cut two equal lengths of square dowel and glued them to the inside of the cab after a lot of measuring and checking against my sketch up model.

Once these were dry I made a fake bezel out of some thin wood. This way I could see if the real bezel would fit between the runners and the speaker panel. This seemed fine so I went ahead and cut the speaker panel.

I managed to find a standard 6x9 speaker on ebay that I am using for the build, so I then used this to measure the hole to cut for the speaker and the mounting bolts.

Once this was done, I used glue and clamps to attach it to the cab.

I decided early on the build that I would use a scart tv as a monitor as these are so easy to come by over here in the uk.
I bought 4 13/14 inch crts for a total of £6. Out of the 4, the philips tv was the best because a soon as it powers up the screen turns on, so there is no fiddling about with remote controls.

Here is a screenshot of my Hyper Neo Geo hooked up to it.

Thanks mate. I've just had a look at your projects.  :o The build quality is amazing. I'm going to have to work hard on the Pac for it to be half as good as your cabs.  :applaud:

Just watched your videos, they will surely help people who are new to the hobby, especially those who are new to woodwork. With basic tools and a bit of thought (and Google) it's not beyond most people to knock up a decent cab! Look forward to the next instalment :)
