For the mistake I made? Nope - I didn't actually make a mistake with the tools. It was purely a brain fart on my end. Imagine this panel but with the laminate on top - I laid out the holes for the marquee and speakers to be cut out of the laminate... but the marquee hole was laid out 3/4" lower than it should have been. My cuts were perfect though!

Ha! I read that as "windowmaker" at first glance... both would seem to work.

I'm a bit late to the party here, but looks great Javeryh :)

Shame you're not in the UK... I have a spare boxed NOS Hantarex Polo/3 17" that would be perfect! :banghead:

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out :) I myself am in the process of making a Robotron Mini!

You planning specifically on a 15khz 17" monitor? Or is VGA an option?

VGA is fine. I hadn't really thought about it other than wanting a CRT over LCD so it looks a little more authentic. The guts of this cab will be an older Optiplex PC. I'm sure there is software I can use to help the picture quality over VGA or maybe it will be fine out of the box. I've only ever used an arcade monitor or LCDs in my cabs so I'm not really sure...

I've been looking at Dell, HP, etc. and they are all just standard computer monitors with VGA a connection. If anyone has any opinions/guidance I'm open to it.

Thanks Jimbo. Too bad you aren't in NJ - I'd have taken that monitor off of your hands!

I'm looking forward to seeing your Robotron mini - love those cabs.
