$0 Budget JUNKADE! (Input wanted!)
« on: December 31, 2015, 03:09:50 pm »
I was doing a little inventory in my head this morning and realized that I have enough junk lying around to build a little arcade/jukebox for my garage.

I am determined (and avowed to my wife) to not spend a dime on this project.
 

Professional Artist Concept Rendering:




Here's what I have:

  • Old Arcade Controls
  • Junky Chinese USB Arcade Controlboards
  • Old Computer
  • Old Monitor
  • Scrap Wood
  • Plexiglas

Need:

Artwork:

For art I thought I would use...Free stickers from this awesome free sticker website!!! I figure I will be put on some wacky mailing lists but that should make my mail interesting (and put me on some nice quackjob DHS lists).

Here are some examples of the sweet stickers I hope to plaster on this baby!



and



T-Molding:

I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for trash in my area that has t-molding. I'm hoping for some nice poop brown.



Anything else!:

I will stick any sort of whistles or bells on this thing...including whistles and bells!

In fact, if anyone wants to send me some random arcade crap, I will incorporate it and give you credit on the marquee AND in the front end software (somehow)!!! PM me if you want to contribute!!!

I also need some input on a front end that won't tax the old Dell Optiplex GX 270 I have set aside. The more idiot-proof the better!

Subbed.

Also,

I can't offer any parts, but I can certainly offer moral support.

where are you located? and more importantly, do you want a single piece of t-molding to cover the whole thing, or are you ok with different colored scrips butted up to each other???

I think we all need to send him 1-4" pieces of t-molding.   >:D

Looking forward to watching this project!  :cheers:

Hey Brihyn & Token-

I'll take anything. I'm not proud, and the junkier it is, the better, IMO. I'll piece together the T-molding. As you can see in the magnificent mockup pic, the T-Molding is different colors.

If it's not against the rules, I'll post my full addy in this thread. 77546, USA.

I believe I will go with this bartop plan.

I'd also like to squeeze an old PC trackball into it somehow...now to track one down...

Atomic FE is a nice looking front end for older PC'c running XP. I also like attract mode but don't know how it will run on your PC.

A few months ago, much to my wife's chagrin, I picked up a 12-year-old 53-inch rear-projection HD tv from the side of the road. It sort of works- the picture has colors that don't quite line up. At any rate I was going to tear it down and keep the parts. Any ideas for how I could glom some of this stuff into a cab?

   I might be confused here, So you plan to not spend any money, Wait for handouts, and ultimately put garbage in your living room? (suddenly PBJ doesn't sound so bad :-\)....Dude you may want to reconsider before you get divorced.

Got some beautiful pearlescent blue some black t-molding and a GREEN LED button (I have an LED for it!) from brihyn!!! Thank you so much! Your username will live on forever in the Junkade!

I also started getting free stickers in the mail, too!

You are confused. Reread the first post and resubmit your essay.

Atomic FE is a nice looking front end for older PC'c running XP. I also like attract mode but don't know how it will run on your PC.

Thanks, I'm reading up on it!

I have junk.

Wow, I've never seen a button like that. Awesome!

I have seven really loud joystick micro switches that came with a couple of cheap Zippyy joys. Yeah, seven.

If you want them PM me your address.

I've got a spare KADE AVR you can have.  It's the bare AVR, doesn't have the breakout board.  Let me know.

I really don't want to hoard stuff I won't need.- I'm set on USB controllers and sticks/buttons. But if you want to send it, I will work it in!

********

Thanks for all of the interest, guys- I'm considering doing a full-sized cab instead to honor the community here. I need to eyeball my garage and see if I can make it work.

Got some beautiful pearlescent blue some black t-molding and a GREEN LED button (I have an LED for it!) from brihyn!!! Thank you so much! Your username will live on forever in the Junkade!

I also started getting free stickers in the mail, too!

Glad you like it. But take a look at that purty blue t'molding...the blue is actually protector....it's shiny chrome :)

Egad! Even batter!

Cool project, I'm working on one now using as much material as possible from dumpster dives. :D

Yep, complete with the Smell-O-Vision set I have chilling in my garage!



Good 'ol Hans Lube knew how to smell up the place.

Of course it was; how else do you think he developed his wonderful olfactory keenness?

Still receiving stickers. I may bang out the wood portion of this next weekend.

On a side note, you know how you become known for something and people just dump that stuff on you? Computer guy- get old computers. Aquarium guy, get old aquariums. Arcade guy...yep! Someone gave me their 60-in-1 Jamma upright this weekend. Works great, vertical screen with 'game over' burned in but I can live with it. My wife told me that it wasn't allowed in the house, but her tone was more pleading than commanding. Do I have a problem? Possibly. She may have to go.

 :afro:

I'm going to be working on this again at long last. I wanted to re-thank everyone who donated and let you all know that this project isn't dead, my life just gobbled up my free time for a couple of years- babies, business opportunities, all good stuff. I was working 80+ hours a week and had to prioritize.

To start with, I was able to salvage a trashed Double Dragon cab from an apartment dumpster (well, it wasn't in the dumpster, just next to it). It was modded to use an original X-Box so I'm thinking I might put CoinOps on one of my old modded X-Boxes and throw it in there to see how it works. Then I'll flesh out the cab with donations.

Again, my goal is to spend ZERO dollars on this. I'll upload pics as I start the work.

Thanks again, all!

Hi, Dr. Nick!

Funny you say that because I am going to upgrade my two Arcade1Up Cabs and have a ton of 'spare' parts from them. However, they are such crap that I would rather throw used 'junk' in this cab.  ;D

I wasn't aware of that before but absolutely!!! I hope to retain an air of style with the final product but who knows. :D
