Looks GREAT!

Where are the speakers? How many? watts?

Nice job cutting the back opening in the shape of the sideart. (When I first scrolled down I thought you went crazy with the jigsaw...

)

Do you have the plans for this???

swede · « **Reply #4 on:** May 01, 2004, 01:52:37 pm »

No plans, it was an old Congorilla cabinet. And the cutout in the back is just an outline of the sideart.

Not only did you have a great idea with see-thru back, but also the "case mod" type of light inside the cabinet.

Good work!

was this picture taken in some kind of arcade cabinet building school? everything around it looks like a school, except the Open Ice NHL machine in the back (outside the classroom?) The You are who you choose to be poster looks like school material, however, the Pac Man running next to it, does not.

the cabinet looks just like a Pac cabinet, and plans for that are pretty easy to find.

Yeah it does look like a school, doesn't it? Maybe a teacher's break room? Who else would have a chalk board and inspirational posters?

By the way, I'm impressed with the cleanliness or your machine. It looks very professional. I hope my jukebox turns out as clean as yours.

Hello to all:

Yes, this is my classroom. I teach an after-school course to Grage 8 students on how to build a computer from its parts. When they have learned this, I then teach them how to program the BIOS, install XP, then wire an Opti-Pac and trackball, and also to load Arcade Jukebox, etc.
We build 2 jukes a year and raffle them off in a draw. This one made $1500 that goes right back into the school.
The games in the back room are for teaching the kids how to wire up JAMMA cabs - and they can play them on recess breaks if they are a) maintaining 60% in all courses and b) they have never been suspended. It makes for a fun environment and they learn a lot in the process!
The kids did everything on the cabinet (including belt-sanding the original cab, painting, t-molding and even the cut-out in the back with the exception of the graphics, which I did myself.
Not bad for a group of 13 year olds!

Teachers ROCK!!! Man I would have loved to have you as one of my teachers. That is great motivation for staying out of trouble. Keep the kids in line and keep on doing what you are doing. What school by the way?

swede · « **Reply #10 on:** May 19, 2004, 07:01:38 am »

It's in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada.

I never thought I'd say it but that gold T-molding rocks! Nice cab.

What painting method did you use?

swede · « **Reply #14 on:** June 23, 2004, 06:57:45 pm »

I used black oil-based melamine paint. Virtually chip-proof paint applied with a small foam roller. Takes about 30 minutes to do 2 coats on all sides.

And where can I find that stuff?

swede · « **Reply #16 on:** June 23, 2004, 08:07:59 pm »

a paint store.

AlanS17 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 23, 2004, 08:20:48 pm »

I can't pick it up at a place like Home Depot?

I'm *not* trolling here, but I gotta ask.

What's the difference between what he's done here, and what that kid did to that Centipede? I mean, they've both taken classic cabinets and totally and irreversibly 'mangled' them.

Like I said, not trying to troll. I think this project looks awesome, but I'm wondering where the line is drawn.

In the grand sceme of things he hasn't really done anything irreversible to the cabinet. He cut a hole in the back door, but that is easily replaceable and I doubt many people care if it's got an original back door. Unless he drastically changed the inside bracings for the monitor, this thing is still re-buildable.

Is Congorilla a classic? I never heard of it...

And it doesn't look particularly mangled to me...

swede · « **Reply #22 on:** June 29, 2004, 10:21:25 pm »

FYI: everything has remained intact within the cab. Bezel and marquee are safely resting. Easily covertable back to original state, for all you Congorilla lovers...

I've heard of it, but interestingly enough it's not in Mame.

"mangled" was a bad term, but the only one I could think of to describe turning a cabinet into something other than what it started out as.

It IS a very nice project.

Nice cabinet...but not my way of making a jukebox. What sort of amplifier or sound system has it got?
