Flynn's Arcade Build - Story/Writeup/Etc...
« on: February 19, 2020, 10:17:58 am »
Well....where do I even begin. I guess I'll start with a picture. This is Flynn's Arcade (I know...I know) :dunno It's about 95% complete. Still have a few things to finish but it's mostly done. I have been a part of BYOAC for probably 10+ years but only recently did I actually start my build. I have learned SO much from this forum and it was the start of this journey for me. I figured I needed to give back in some way and go through what I did, what I did wrong (spolier:a lot), what I used, why I did it, the process etc. I know build threads help me get ideas and helped direct me to where I ended up.

This will be a LOT of writing from me and I'm going to do my best to break it down into sections and make a menu etc so you can ignore the backstory if you want and jump straight to a certain section. I only ask that you bear with me as I type all this up as it will likely take at minimum a week or so to get all this info together.

With that being said, here are a few pictures to show where it's at and what I'll be talking about.

That bezel looks like it belongs on a CRT.  Did you make it yourself?  I like the look.

Looks like a really well-made cab.  Are you the one that came up with that CP shape?  I see it all over the place so people must really like it.

No, Jarrett designed it but never actually built it.

The Klingons use that CP design in ritual combat.
