I just had to try quickly assembling it at this point... On the rear side, I marked for the joystick and drilled/inserted the blind hole mounts. So then I just had to actually add some controls to this thing and put in in place :) My original paper print is above. No wiring in place at this stage, so it's just a temporary showcase. Meanwhile, the replacement bezel arrived. Opening the package I was instantly a bit worried when I noticed some kind of tear in the top-left. Upon closer inspection, the paper has been sliced by a break in the corner. So it seems somewhere in delivery somebody dropped it hard or, more likely, actually trod on it :( Again, Olly at https://www.arcadeartshop.com/ was fantastic and got to work on another replacement. Meanwhile, I was at least able to use the bezel to figure out positioning of the bezel supports and the retainer bar. I used little spacers to allow me to hold the side supports in place in the right place as I let the glue dry. |

Seeing artwork for the first time might be the BEST part of a build. And yours (the stuff that survived) looks excellent. Super minor, but with all the red, I think a black ball-top on the joystick would look a little better. IMO Anyway, great stuff. |

I know, it's a great moment :) Black joystick ball is a very likely alteration. It's in keeping with the cabinet's DK and FF roots, but being a Nintendo joystick the ball is slightly smaller. I've been on the lookout for a smaller, black ball to replace the red one that came with the Servostik. So far I can only find 35mm ones. Worst case I'll grab one of those at some point down the line if I can't get hold of a smaller one that'll fit on the same thread. I just haven't jumped at it yet because I didn't want to waste money if I could find something better. |

Looking a second time, did you get your CPO printed directly on plexi/glass? Cause if so wow! It looks slick. I didn't know you could essentially get remade DK CPO's with custom artwork like that. |

Yes, it's reverse printed directly onto the plexi. Looks REALLY good. Just going to keep saying https://www.arcadeartshop.com/ for those in the UK! |
