Jukebox nearly finished - more photos
clonestar:
After much consideration and some discussion here:
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,37025.0.html I have decided to make a fairly big change on my juke before it is even finished.
clonestar:
Just bumping my last post as I still need an answer to the t-molding question, can tmolding (3/4 silver) be safely removed and re-installed or will I ruin it?
Bumblebounces:
I have never done anything with the silver or chrome stuff but my experience with the regular black is that removing it does do some damage to the "teeth" on the T-tab (and sometimes to the slot, too). I guess it also depends how wide a slot you cut. I opted for a 1/16 inch slot (which is very tight) where some guys say 3/32 is better. Anyway, it shouldn't be unusable after removal but it would be best to avoid needing to remove it in the future. I always leave T molding as the very last thing. I realize you are changing your design so you have no choice here.
Good luck
Bumble

Well the juke is finished from the front at least. SInce the last post I have finished and fitted the drawer:
Since then I have replaced the keyboard with a mini illuminated USB keyboard but I haven't taken any more pictures as the wood into which the runners screwed has split and needs to be replaced, which in turn means replacing the felt covering, which means drilling out the rivets and removing the edging strip.
The item on the right is the active crossover which feeds the two main amps and is in the drawer so I can tweak a bit. When I remake the drawer I will probably also and an illuminated switch to turn off all the hi-fi and lights for when i am using the pc.
This pic shows the front drawer closed with the key in. I have bought a set of twenty identical locks from Suzo UK, which mean I can put all my pins and the juke on the same key (I also have 39 spare keys as a result)
The final touch for me was adding the screensaver version of GEISS (the old one available here: http://www.geisswerks.com/geiss/ ) I also tried bomb http://www.draves.org which was much more interesting , you can feed it your own images to work with, but I couldn't get it to line up right on the screen and in the end Geiss had more impact, heres some more pictures:

VERY IMPRESSIVE clonestar, you did a great job and it's really unique too.
I like the metal look and concealed speakers & lights.
Nice job on the CP as well, looks simple and well layed out.
Did you ever locate the name or a link to the light organs? I tried your link above, but it said they have been discontinued. I've been trying to find something similar, but only found to cathode tubes and EL lights.
Again, GREAT job! :cheers:
