I've just started to make a combined stand alone jukebox and vpinmame cabinet

The card is covering a boxed 10 inch sub, heres the rear view:

The two 8 inch speakers were also in a box but I am rebuilding a similar sized enclosure within the cab and the tweeters that were in the cab are being mounted in the area where the marquee would be if this were a mame cab.

This is the compaq rackmount tft screen I bought off ebay as I felt the flat screen gave me more freedom when it came to cab layout.

This is the rest of the gubbins that is going inside, a 200w amp driving the 10 inch sub, 150 watts driving the two 8 inches and the tweeters, 100 watt driving two 6 inch two-way sony speakers again in the marquee area.

OK So no one out there is interested in my project, how about a little encouragement for a newbie?

The real reason I am moaning is I have spent several hours (and quite a few pounds) changing the cab around with nothing much to show for it yet.  I found these 2 pictures of real wurlitzers and decided to make the front speaker grill look a bit like a combination of the two, which meant moving the whole speaker assembly further back from the front edge.


Another advantage of taking every thing apart was that I could cut the slots for the t-molding on the cross pieces that I should have done before but didn't have the router bit.  If anyone is interested in what I have learnt from my mistakes herre are my two tips so far.[*]Buy the cutting bit they sell at t-molding.com I thought $33 was too much and I could get it cheaper locally.  It ended up costing

It's not that their is no interest in your project but you really don't have much to show yet. I'm sure when you have more of the cabinet built people will comment.

I added the top section today and I am way pleased with the way it looks.

I don't know if you can tell from the  photo but the top section is curved.  I wanted something quite rigid for this so I soaked a piece of ply in the bath for an hour before fixing it to the contours.  Then I had to take it all off again to cut the speaker holes!

I like it so far but a couple question.

1.  What are you going to do about the marquee.  I dont see any place for a light.

2.  Wont playing VPinmame and Jukebox at the same time  both be playing there own sounds.?  Are you going to have to turn off the sound in VPinmame to play the jukebox?
