Neat.


- Only P3's joystick is angled.  :dizzy:

- So. Much. Wood.

- Trackball is in a terrible spot...really terrible

- The rotary phone is cool

- Hope you don't mind people rubbing up against you while playing

- Lots of unused surface area to grow into.

Thanks for sharing!

That joke has run its course.

Price isn't too far out of whack for all the hardware you're getting.  Strip it and toss the cabinet.

Was thinking the same -- Figure talk him down on the price a bit and it would be a good deal just for the coin door and 4 joysticks/28 buttons. Then you also have the trackball and other misc items.

Saw that phone too and at first thought it was connected. Dial 1 for Asteroids, 2 for Centipede...
Rubbing is a feature not a flaw depending on who you get to play.

Agreed on price. On the flip side is this $4500 beauty:

Cowboy, do you read this forum? That's not a joke.

In his defence, it does match all the other ugly design choices in the house.   :lol

My guess is that he was trying to please the wife by building one that matched the living room.  Dumb idea.

To me, it looks more like 1980's wealth.  (see: Mr. Belvedere) haha
