720 Atari Cabaret

Even though I got a cricut for my wife, I think I've been using it a lot more than she has. I prototyped the monitor bezel using some cardboard and then with those measurements, I laid out the four sections out in photoshop and then imported the image into the cricut for cutting. I then scored the folds and taped the corners of each section together on the back side. This worked way better than using a ruler and cutting it by hand. Next time, I'll use black core cardboard so that folds don't reveal a white core. Luckily I have artwork covering this part of the monitor bezel.
My CPO came in and I nervously put it on making sure that there were no creases. Of all the things I do to make/restore these games, its always putting on the CPO and artwork. This CPO was a little harder to put on since the shape of the control panel is a little irregular with a lot of fold overs. But overall it came out really good.
So the last thing I need to do is to put in lights in my 3d printed coin reject mechanism. Also, trying to break 100K in the game.

That turned out great. How does she play?

I haven't played on a real machine in years but the game plays as smooth and fast as the videos I've seen online. I'm glad I picked using a pc + groovymame over the pi3b+ that I was using before.

Calling this a wrap!
Not arcade authentic light sockets but these t10 wedge lights fit into these light sockets I found on ebay
Here's the updated .stl files for the lighted microswitch holder for the coin door. You'll also need the base .stl from a previous post.
It was modified from leejsmith's design from klov. Props to him for all his help and inspiration on this build.
