Sith Lord Pedestal

I decided to dismantle my automated cabinet(sorry DaOld Man) because it got to be too complicated and took up too much space. I have a 50" TV on the wall, so a pedestal cabinet with casters, seemed like a good compromise. I wanted it to be simple to build, that is why I use the base that is use the an Iircade cabinet. These things are built rock solid and at the time only cost $50, I couldn't go wrong using it. I used all the same button, joysticks, light guns, I/O devices, PC and software. The only thing I bought was a new trackball, the old one never worked that good and I wanted a blue one. I reused the original Marquee I created from the automated cabinet as well as the lighted Sith symbols on the pedestal sides. I even repurposed some of the artwork onto the control panel. The casters were needed so I could move the pedestal if I wanted to play pool.









3D printed a button cover for the start button, I also printed one for the stop button.

I like how you did your control panel. It has stuff that you won't use as often like the big stick and the spinner, but it keeps them out of the way.
