100% done. All tools put away, games configured, backed up all my configs. Here are some finished shots. Super happy with how it turned out. I loaded up 17 games:
Arkanoid, Asteroids, blasteroids, cameltry, Galaxian, Gryruss, Omega Race, Puzzle Bobble 2-4, Puzzloop, Super Breakout, Star Trek, Tempest, Tempest Tubes, Time Pilot and Zektor.
I won't be letting this one go. I totally miss my bartop and this will fill the void. This stands at 5'2" tall, and the control panel is at a good height. Some small regret where I put the 2 buttons, I wish I put them 2" to the left, but it's very do-able. All said and done, it's about a 30-35 hour build. I found using the Arcade1up as a base saved me some time and maybe a few bucks.
Some highlights from the build:
19" Monitor in Vertical orientation
- New Marquee from Game Factory
- New front panel with coin door
- Trimmed up riser to line up with the cabinet sides
- New control panel
- Turbo Twist Spinner with Tempest knob
- 2 leaf switch Happy buttons with lit outer rings from Arcade Paradise
- 2 volcano buttons
- Mounted power plug in the riser
- Installed new plexi
- Credit button under the control panel (with easter egg graphic of my name and when it was built)
- Fresh computer build rock'n Windows 7 w/SSD
