Post a Picture of your Cab!
« on: December 30, 2004, 04:43:42 pm »
Alot of times people will respond to my questions giving me dimensions to something on their cab or just tell me about something on their cab, then I'll click on their name to see if they have a website and alot of you dont, so I thought I'd create a "Post a Pic of your Cab!" thread, so if you read this, post a picture of your cabinet! I'd like to see your work!
Coming soon: 4 player mame cab and Scratch built Moonwalker....Hall of Fame, here I come!

Silly question, but isn't this why we have a 'Projet Announcement' section?

I thought the project announcement section was for announcing that you are beginning a project, and thus a thread to have throughout its production.



This is more of a thread for everyone to show their final product in the same thread.



I wouldn't think to highly of you if you had hijacked my project thread with pictures of your project. :)



That being said... My project isn't finished yet (need some warm months to hit again for painting), but here is my control panel, which is complete.





The cab itself is just another UAII, so you've all seen it before.

I know exactly what you mean.  But mine's virtually done now.  Still have to add bezel but more or less there...



more piccies in announcement thread: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,22149.40.html  Again, it's a UAII based cab so nothing out of the ordinary

Arcade 360 for your viewing pleasure.
If you haven't seen it before, the 26" Arcade monitor rotates through 360 degrees to 1 of 4 different control panels, it's sweet to play on.

OK, here's my attempt at a scratch build ...

this is the larger CP, with dummy mod coin door (i'm no sheet metal worker, thats for sure:)...


this shows the small CP, with mode Stargate artwork...


and this tops it all, no back light though, it's only printed on paper:(...


i'm currently working on a Pac-man style table top, it looks the same as all of the others (thanks to the Kyle myster)...
http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/erikthecat@btinternet.com/my_photos

does anyone have a UK colour code (pantone) for the Pac yellow?

for my next project i would like to tackle a Taito - Space Invader cabinet (upright), internal refelcting mirror and moonscape backdrop, but there doesn't seem to be much / no suitable info out on the web:(
any pointers / help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA 

PS Yes, i am mad:)

It looks like hacked up Pacman Cabaret cabinet, but it's a scratch build.  Only thing missing is the marquee.  I just haven't made my mind up as to what I want on it yet.

Here it is with control panel 3 (of 3) (the driving one) rotated in as well as a close up of Control panel 1
its better to not post and be thought a fool, then to whip out your keyboard and remove all doubt...
