Long time lurker, first time poster.
Long time dream finally realised over Christmas, but only got round to uploading now. Vertical only for golden age games and vertical bullet hell shooters.
Build based on Vigolix design (obviously!). Difference is all corners sanded and rounded. Painted red, varnished with spray varnish, used Posca pens to draw cherry blossom on arcade.
Hardware is Seimitsu LS-56 joystick, Seimitsu PS-14 screw in buttons, Dell 19" monitor with an RPi3 powering it all. Desktop speakers mounted behind monitor (thanks for that idea Delusional!), glass look perspex in the front.
First arcade anything I ever made from scratch, first piece of woodwork ever. I'm pretty chuffed with it.
