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.
MiteWiseacre:
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..

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!
