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!

-Goz

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:)

versapak · « **Reply #52 on:** January 03, 2005, 01:13:50 am »

Nope, that isn't just the flash.

They are normal concave buttons, but they are clear with colored plastic inserts inside them.

I used 4 Pelican Real Arcade Universal controllers to make my control panel, and those are actually just the buttons that came insde them.

I have gotten several inquiries about them lately, and several people looking for where they can find the same style buttons. I don't know where to find buttons like that other than in the Pelican sticks, but if anyone does happen to find them, I too would like to know where.

Mine is also a UA2, and Ive put about 1500 dollars into it so far, got an over under coin door, built in light gun holster, custom artowrk being made by snaake ect, you guys are inspirations to me, and Im hoping mine will also be an inspiration in the end like yours are to me.

That's fair I guess. Opinions are like belly-buttons; everyone has one, but some stink more than others. I chose to build the notched back as I didn't like the big flat back.

Yes, it's the bezel from Happ. It's hiding a 26" Mitsubishi TV. The TV is in it's original case.
