Standalone Juke Project

[Pixelhugger]

However, I do get frequent bouts of spending amnesia - I think it's a female thing.  

Hmmm. I must be very in touch with my female side then!  

My arcade related expenditures have me in a state of absolute denial. My wife has now insisted I open a separate bank account to spare her the monthly VISA bill inquisition she subjects me to.

Wow June, that Pockey table is really cool - i've never seen anything like that before, a pool table and air hockey table in one. Mega cool. Im gonna have to try and find one in Australia.

I found this page

this might be a few projects after a juke. Its a little bit hard to understand, but after a few reads, you get the gist . . .

Sorry to post off topic - this is a little something for June, If she desides to try to build a air hockey table, as described in a previous post of mine.

I was racking my brain about the jig (as described above), till I found this

page http://www.cirnetwork.org/engineering/itm_pages/appenb.htm

When I saw the 2nd diagram on the page, the penny dropped "Ahhhh, its not a jig I want to use, BUSHES!~!~!".

So yeah, way to do it is get a bush thats 1/4" in outer diameter, with a 1/16" hole in the center. You could make one easly enough if you have access to a drill press.

Just thought I would share this with you, if you wnat to try and make one of these . . . . . .

Any progression on the plans June? *nudge nudge. wink wink, say no more say no more*

Hi!  I have been reading this fourm and just wanted to put out there that June's Plans/Design are bound for greatness in the BYO-community!  
This style of JB cab is more what I remember actually droping quarters in, I'm 26.  I love it, and am jumping on the band wagon of wanting to build one that looks like this  

Thanks for keeping progress of this project for us to learn from, again!

[Pixelhugger]

June and husband ROCK. Literally too.

[Matt, GoC]

June check your messages please.

[LordDamo]

Thanks heaps for the dimentions June, much appreciated. I assume all measurements are in inch's? Also, I assume that the sheets of MDF shown are the standard 4 foot by 8 foot?

One last request, just wondering a few angles if your able to help out, ive attached a small pic to illistrate the ones im wondering about.

Thanks in advance!  

P.S. Hows the Air hockey table coming along? Im gonna make one eventually, will post once undrway . . .

[LordDamo]

sorry, pic didnt attach

[rob1234]

Ok, now that I got mine, here is a link to the phat price I spoke of.  And they are NICE, to boot!

Found a even better price for the speakers....$44.94 with free shipping.   http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00006HYPD/ref=pd_sbs_e_1/002-6205417-7752048?v=glance&s=electronics

[LordDamo]

Sorry to be a pain June, and im not having a go at your drafting skills, but im finding it a little hard to understand your labeling system that you have used on your plan of the side section, Is this a system thats used in the US? Ive attached another pic with the format im used to here in Australia.

No need to do it all nice and neat, as you have done with the ones on your site, just open M$ paint and scrible the numbers on there, as long as I can read them - LOL

Thanks in advance;

Damo

If you redo the picture to add measurements just drop me a message and I'll redo the GIF file.  You said in your message you were using MS paint to save the picture, so just save it as a monochrome bitmap and post a link to it for me to download.  It'll be easier if it doesn't arrive as a JPG.

Anybody else have problems seeing the updated plans?  The original ones I can see fine.

[crashwg]

I assume that the sheets of MDF shown are the standard 4 foot by 8 foot?

The standard MDF size is 49X97... 

A little bit of info most don't know.

Being that I come from Australia, our MDF comes in metric sheets that are 1200mm X 2400mm. - I was just looking for a round-about measurement - thanks for the info though, saves me doing the conversion + its a bit more accurate, thanks

Just wondering, June...

After rereading the entire thread, I never figured out exactly what you used to connect the controls.... 

I'm guessing I-Pac?

[june]

Hello!

[LordDamo]

Im soooo sorry to be a pain June, its just I started to make this the other day. ( ) and I did the sheet with all the shelf's on it first, it was nice and easy. Next came the sheet for the sides.

I started to mark it out and realised I need two more angles, sorry to be a pain.

Ive attached a pic and circled the onces I need.

Thanks in advance.

[june]

Damo, you are never a pain, and I'm glad to help.  Haha.... actually I should say, "I'm glad to volunteer hubby's help...."   

I will forward the question on to him to see if he can get those angles for you.  I'm glad to hear you've started construction.  Your girlfriend is really, REALLY going to love it.  We still use ours nearly every day.

[LordDamo]

COOL! Thanks June (and Junes Hubby) - I still need to know where to send the Bon Bon's! LOL, thanks mate; you rock.

[june]

Hey LordDamo, I got my husband to take a look at this today.

[LordDamo]

Thank you thank you thank you June - you rock! There was some kind of error with your pic, but my browser was able to open it, so I just took a screen capture. Let me know where to send the bon bons (im serious) and i'll also include some Aussie beer for your hubby. Thanks again, and a pre-emptive thanks from my girlfriend.

June,

Just wondering how Arcade Jukebox has worked for you, and if you would please tell me how you have your buttons mapped.

[bigle]

june

wow that is a killer jukebox. 

i've just begun assembling components for one of my own and had a question.  the logitec speaker system you used is 5.1 but i'm assuming you are using it in some sort of 2.1 stereo mode.  i'm guessing that either the rear and center speakers go unused or maybe just the center channel (with the rears duplicating the mains).  could you shed some more light on how the speakers are set up (ie line out from the computer, x # of speakers are utilized or whatever it may be)?

thanks

[june]

Hello drmlvr, I somehow missed your recent post -- sorry I haven't responded before now.  I saw the pics of your jukebox project today... it's looking grrrreat!

I have been really happy with Arcade Jukebox.   We haven't hit any problems with it, and it is so easy to use that my five year old can even pick her own songs.  She and my husband really like the trackball.  I'm more of a button person myself, so I stick with the buttons 99% of the time.  With the controls shown below, I navigate just as quickly without the trackball.

Here's the mapping I used.  Since we have the 2 choices of navigation methods, I sorta grouped them in color-coded sections:

- Red button in upper left corner - Alt + F4.  Even though you can exit Jukebox 8 with the escape key, I chose this combination so I can exit any Windows app with this button.  That way, I don't ever have to open the juke
to load more songs.   The only time I get the keyboard out is if I need to edit a song title in an MP3 tag.  I could use the trackball, I know, but I just like those buttons....

- Yellow button in upper left corner - tab key.  This is the key that brings up the menu, if you don't want to use the trackball.

- Next comes the big blue trackball - ya just HAVE to get a lighted one!   

- Blue button next to trackball - left mouse click (select).

- White arrow keys

- White selection button (enter)

I really like having both options for song selections.  Although I do have to admit that nearly everyone but me goes straight for the trackball.  I hope this helps, and I hope I'm not too late with my reply!!!
