Got the monitor in place and the bezel panel cut.

A piece of the bit for the router broke of and really fudged the edges. Will sand out.

I built a Tully out of MDF yrs ago.
got it functioning and took it apart to paint and.....it's still stacked up in my basement.

Thanks man. I've decided I'm only doing Tully's from now on. Maybe a spinner one next? Arkanoid? A smash TV one would be cool. Maybe 2 side by side linked up for mortal kombat 2 player lol.

Tullys are best for single player/control games. Arkanoid sounds great. SmashTV, not much so.

Like I said, if I build another one, it’s going to be a Star Trek.

Thanks. I've seen ghouls n ghosts in white and black t moulding, even red once. Considered all 3 but decided white might look the best.

I know, kids have started bugging me.
my basement purge project is just so i have an actual space to do work on stuff without tripping over stuff.

it took 2 hrs to cut my tully out.
that includes the trip to home depot and having them cut a sheet of MDF into 2x4' sections.

I must be so slow. I spent 2+ hours yesterday and only managed to cut out 1 side panel.

I did it at work on the clock with my brother's help. We do building stuff for a living so we had it drawn out and cut within 20 minutes. I was able to transport it home in my car at that point.

You got a theme or button scheme planned yet?

That's pretty sweet. I do not build stuff for a living for some reason (poor choice of career by me) and I just have 1 table and some tools in my garage. Everything is dull too. No theme yet (going to be VERY plain) but controls will be 4-way and 2 buttons with vertical monitor. I'm doing 2 at once so it should be an interesting summer...

What does building an arcade cabinet have to do with making your living enabling alcoholics to spend money at your place rather than spend time with their families?

Zeosstud · « **Reply #64 on:** March 23, 2021, 03:18:26 pm »

@pbj you have a bad experience at a bar sometime in the past? Why all the hate?

Youve took me completely the wrong way.What i meant was i have a bar and i get to drink as one of the perks.
In hindsight not funny or very relevant to the subject at hand but if ive offended or poked a raw nerve....

thomas_surles · « **Reply #66 on:** March 23, 2021, 06:15:48 pm »

I found these on ebay for cheap a while back and bought them to save me the photoshop trouble. They are replicas for the original ghouls n ghosts. They are the perfect size for the Tully. Lucian045 will be working on a couple custom pieces for me.

Looking awesome! I couldn't find where you said what will be running inside. Do you have original boards or something else? I've played a bunch of Ghouls N Ghosts on the Mister lately after seeing you post about this project.

Just a regular ole mame cab. I haven't figured out what to put in it. I have a pile of pc towers in my room lol.

I'm a fan of attract mode but I might play around with some other frontends

Every time I'm picking this thing up I grab it from the back and the marquee hole and just hope it doesn't snap lol.

Mike A · « **Reply #77 on:** March 30, 2021, 10:06:34 am »

Well, nobody can say I didn't warn them about MDF.

I like the theme and the way this cab came out.

I look forward to seeing how it finishes up.

javeryh · « **Reply #78 on:** March 30, 2021, 11:24:10 am »

What are you doing for audio? I don't see a cutout on the front panel... it might not even matter I guess but usually there is something. I like the simplicity of the marquee and coin door underneath and nothing else.

Also, where did you get the coin door?

EDIT: Never mind - looks like you got it used. Cleaned up nice!

Yeah ebay is my go to some times for good deals. Can of hammered black will clean it up nicely.
On my galaga build I attempted a nintendo style speaker cutout and totally ruined it. Filled it in and sanded it nicely. You can't tell it was ever there. I ended up mounting the speakers on the inside unseen. Sounds fine to me. Will probably do the same here.
