It cant be dead it was close to being finished... sure the software side seemed like it was just starting but he had all the physical stuff done.  :dunno

Yeah, but his last update was over a year ago.  It looked like his hardware was near completion, and SW shouldn't take more than a couple weeks to get a partial-runner.  At first I was, "No effin' way", then it was like, "damn, he might do it", and then it was, "I had a heart attack and died, see ya".

Damn. Monolith is like the cab equivalent of Matthew Smith and Sid Barratt.

Is there a repository of portrait mode vertical bezels as shown in the Streetfighter image posted on page 1 of the thread?

I've recently discovered the Full Single Screen pinballs, and was early in the process of building a pinball cabinet, but am tempted to just go with a new vertical option.

hey guys, I thought the interest was long gone on this build. it has been ages since I updated. I was going to finish it off quietly and then do a final update. Funny thing is I just gave a talk about this build at work as part of a presentation on the maker community.

so to update on the current status: since my last update post, I moved 3 times, which sucked. I hate moving lol. also travelled overseas a few times. things are more settled now and the arcade is, for the most part, assembled but without the electronics. Now seems like a great time to finish off this build. I'm really glad I designed the cab to be pulled apart in sections because it helped a lot when moving. all my crimping tools and supplies arrived as well.

On a side note, I also bought some 3d printers and a laser cutter to add to my arsenal of tools, and I spent some time learning and making things with them which was a fun distraction. One idea I messed around with was a coin sorting tool.

---fudgesicle--- me. It's the Lazarus of arcade building. Moved 3 times? Still - at least your cab was nice and portable...  :dizzy:

Back from the dead, I've looked at this thread tons of times, was always hoping I'd see the final product.  Keep going chito.

Thanks for the support guys. it really is unexpected. This is a really farout there build.

Jan is still a busy time for me (its summer here in Aus) so I'm hoping I can knock it out in Feb.
I'm still trying to decide how I'm going to create the harnesses for easy disconnect when moving or repairing, and ideas?
If I need to order things from china it will take about a month to get here. in the meantime, I can get all the crimping etc done

"Aus" as in Australia? Christ - considering that it is made from a rainforrest's worth of timber - I'm surprised it hasn't caught fire yet.

If there is one thing I have learned from the Aussie folk, is that they're a little more thick skinned than most and know how to take and make a joke. That said, my heart goes out to them all... Beauty country and a damn shame to see happening to good folk, much less anyone else.

Also glad to see this thread come back to life... Made my week!

It fell over onto him and crushed him as he was moving for the 5th time last year.
