Effort? If you’re going for the actual in-circuit feel, just slice half the portraits off to make it all fit. :lol |

That is kind of what the guy before me did. He put Street Fighter in this cab and cut down the marquee and hacked up the cardboard bezel to fit. He didn't even mount the PCB. It was sitting on the floor of the cab. The CP had so many holes in it that some of the buttons were only mounted in the plexi he put over the top of the CPO. |

The man sounds like a master at his craft. His dedication to authenticity should be applauded. He created an authentic, burn down the Chuck E. Cheese quality gaming experience that only a cut-rate operator could provide. I'm feeling nostalgic just thinking about how ground down those joysticks must have felt. |
| Mike A:
I can't remember if I took a pic. I will look back. The marquee light fixture was a standard porcelain incandescent socket with a 60 watt bulb in it. Burned out...naturally. The socket was held in place with 2 nails bent over to wedge it in place. |
| Zebidee:
Oh, the authenticity... hard to get bent nails these days. Just go down to the hardware store and ask, mostly all you'll get is bank stares. As for the 60 watt incandescent bulb, that belongs in a museum! Seriously though, have you thought about putting an instructions banner across the bezel, below the monitor? I never know what the special moves are. |
