Twin Cabinet Build
Fursphere:
Update:
Screens are in, and both PCs are functional (left cab is a laptop, which i'm not happy with, but its what I have for now). Haven't got the wheel on the right side connected yet.
Seats are bolted down, but might be a little too low, haven't decided yet. Working on pedal boards (Setting them to approx. a 20 degree angle) and speaker mounts next.
I opened up the topper and was surprised to find all the lights inside are 110v. (and all the bulbs missing).
MrThunderwing:
Looking good!
Fursphere:
Start working on a dashboard over the weekend. Used some 2020 aluminum extrusion I had from other project (3D printer build), printed some brackets, and added some hardboard So far so good. Also made the speaker panels, which have the 4" speakers pointing downward at a 45 degree angle. This is a departure from the original Daytona cabinets, but I'm happy with it.
I've been working on my twin cabinet alignment issues as well. I noticed that the with the 'heads' aligned and bolted together with the marquee topper, the bases were in a "V" shape, with about 1" difference. So I made a solid steel brace for the rear of the bases to lock them together, and now I need to realign the heads. Player 1 is now 'tweaked' a little. Not sure how I want to fix that yet. But I have to tear everything apart, so I figure its time to cut the t-molding too.

Those steering wheel braces are slick.

Gotta love when you have stuff laying around that you can use for something that comes out that nice.
Fursphere:
Still (slowly) working on this thing. Got the t-molding channels cut on one half, and I'm working on the paint now. Once this half is done, I'll tear the other one apart and do the same. I managed to pickup a legit center coin box / housing too. Dang thing weigh 60 lbs! I tried to build one first, but just wasn't happy with how it was turning out. The spacing on my cabinets is a little wider than 'stock', so I'm going to have to machine some heavy duty spacers on the lathe to mount the coin box in the center properly.
