I have decided to drop the keyboard drawer, I will just hide a wireless set somewhere. Next to the sides of the coin mech I intend to make holster holes to place the light guns. A downside would be messy cables hanging everywhere. I would like to implement cable retractors like those you would find in vacuum cleaners. Does anyone has any experience with cable rewinders in their build? I am not looking to spend another 100 euro's just for cable management, so I would like to know if there is a cheaper way, or to diy with cable retractors from old/broken housholding equipment? A device like this would be perfect to build in, but seems to be quit expensive and hard to find online with reasonable shipping costs to the Netherlands: |

Done some more woodworking today. I have been sawing some plates and made a hole for the coin door. If I have time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I can begin assembling the bottom base, sides and some front and rear plates to start shaping it in to something resembling a cabinet ;) As I mentioned before I'd like to mount my Aimtrak guns in holes on both sides of the coin door, while I would really like the cables to auto retract inside the cabinet. After quite some googling I can't find a reasonable priced solution. I have decided I will try my at luck at retrofitting the rectracting mechanism of some old vacuum cleaners. My gf posted a message on some local Facebook page and she has already found three nearby persons willing to donate their broken/old vacuüm cleaners. :) |
