Not sure Bobby, lol. Saw some in Home Depot in 1/2” (3/4 was out of stock) and it looked nice. Did some stuff with 3/4 birch this summer and it’s pretty hard stuff.. slow cutting. Thought maybe Aspen would be easier, probably just like poplar. |

Used 3/4" birch plywood on mine. Curious if the aspen plywood is smoother? Might have to take a trip to the depot. |

Drafted up the basic shape in Sketchup, got the dimensions of my oversized screen in there and stretched and configured the cab to fit it.. I hope it still retains the spirit of an OG Contra cab Bolted the donated components of the PC to a slab of MDF yesterday, got it up and running today with Windows 10. Aspen Plywood is just waiting in the garage for me to make some cuts.. *reloaded pics with Media Fire instead of stupid Dropbox :angry: |

Made some progress this weekend, took a stab at Groovy Arcade. GA is a great product, getting used to Linux is interesting but it’s a nice all in one solution to get groovymame going on a crt Even has Attract Mode configured and ready, would like to know the trick to this because on my last cab I was having a heck of a time getting attract mode to run in SD and not crash my system with resolution changes. |

Stoked for you. Always fun to see that it works, yeah? The cabinet dimensions still look excellent. PLUS... You now have a little more real estate for whatever your final agonizing graphic treatment choice is! |
