Hey all!

I am amazed. That really is a work of art.

Hoagie_one · « **Reply #2 on:** February 22, 2005, 07:32:17 am »

are all of those pictures rendered? Do you have actual photos of a finished cab?

Lilwolf · « **Reply #3 on:** February 22, 2005, 07:45:35 am »

GREAT WORK! LOOKS AMAZING!

1UP, that is a thing of beauty! Congrats, I know you worked hard to make it a reality.

KevSteele · « **Reply #5 on:** February 22, 2005, 09:11:00 am »

Magnificent! Now get some actual cab pics up.

Seriously, I've always loved your cab design. This is excellent news.

Any details on the construction? CNC, MDF, laminate or melamine?

Ah, heck, just send me a unit to review. I'll take care of the details.

You trademarked everything, right

Nicely done 1up, hope everything goes well for you in the new venture. You've worked hard enough at this stage, lets face it. Love the rotating panel thing, Wish I had the skills to do my own one LOL!!

Best of luck chief!

Fat_Trucker · « **Reply #8 on:** February 22, 2005, 09:32:42 am »

That thing is amazing. I'm actually seriously thinking about selling my car to finance one.

*looks at wife*

*deletes*

Seriously though, I will post links to your site on some of the other forums I sleaze about at. Hope it brings you the success you deserve.

1up. Nice work!!

Just wondering if you're going to be selling those mini Tron sticks anytime soon? As I would like to purchase 2.

Thanks!

If I had the money budgeted, I'd pick one up in a second

Can't wait to see some live pics of this baby in action!

Those are very, very nice. I wish my pockets were a little deeper $:-\$ I'm sure that I'll never be able to build one quite as nice.

Holy frijoles, that thing is absolutely gorgeous. While I'm not in the market for a cab, I wish you all the luck with these, 1UP...although, given how nice it looks, I don't think you'll need "luck".

shmokes · « **Reply #16 on:** February 22, 2005, 12:46:50 pm »

Yeah, congratulations. This must be an exciting moment for you. I've been checking out your site regularly and figured something was coming yesterday when I went to your site and it was back to normal, without the Spincade Preview thing going on. You'll have to keep us updated on all the celebrities who become customers. I can't wait to see one on MTV Cribs

I've got to say, it's nice to see products built by people who really appreciate and have a love for their creation. I can't see any cut corners. No visible trackball plate or anything of the sort. As has been mentioned, it really is a thing of beauty. Your attention to detail (not to mention the spinning control panels

) puts this thing in a class of it's own.

IntruderAlert · « **Reply #17 on:** February 22, 2005, 01:11:33 pm »

That's really a beautiful cabinet!

I think the rotating panels are cool too
but.. let's say an Arnold Schwarzeneggerish type person were to play on a regular basis
what measures have been taken to keep the cp from getting all wobbly?

this is something that i worry about with hot swappable control panels as well

Lilwolf · « **Reply #18 on:** February 22, 2005, 01:26:28 pm »

If you where around for when he was posting build pictures of his original cabinet... The rotary part is very very secure (some think pipe). I would guess (if still made the same way) that you would destroy the wood around the cabinet before you harmed the rotary mechanism.

Stingray · « **Reply #19 on:** February 22, 2005, 01:34:24 pm »

Very nice looking product. Sadly it's priced far, far outside of my personal price range (I didn't pay that much for my car).

Very nice...looks like you've thought of everything!

Thanks for all the comments!

Now for the questions:

Photos will of course be coming soon. I live about 100 miles from the cabinet shop, so it's not easy to get up there often. I want to wait until I can hire a professional to do it justice.

The construction is all black melamine MDF, CNC'ed and dadoed, glued and screwed for a very solid feel.

All artwork is screen printed on a velvet-finish lexan for control panels, and vinyl on the side art. Control panels are back printed, with the printing between the lexan and adhesive layer. The ink will never rub off. The trackball plate is counter-sunk and mounted beneath the artwork for a seamless appearance.

The rotation mechanism is an all new design, milled from steel, with a nylon bearing for solid, smooth motion. The automatic clamping method is pretty secure, but the front door can be locked for additional rigidity.

All the cabinet hardware (bezel retainer, security bar etc.) are powder-coated for a durable finish.

Uhmm...I think that was everything. Feel free to ask anything else. This post will probably become my FAQ!

KevSteele · « **Reply #23 on:** February 22, 2005, 04:10:07 pm »

Wow...that's about the most "checklist perfect" cabinet manufacturing I've ever heard of!

Can't wait for the photos.

Kevin

Unfortunately, I can't afford to send out any "test" units right now. Need some orders first...

I have a question about the steering wheel panel. Considering that there are few driving games in Mame worth playing with a 270 wheel, perhaps you should consider putting a small trackball or a touchpad on that panel for navigating windows and selecting games and navigating game menus, etc. I know they make touchpads, like what you find on laptops, that are made to be mounted on, e.g., a countertop....for kiosks, etc.

Is there something I'm missing that already makes Windows/game menu navigation a non-issue from this panel?

SirPoonga · « **Reply #28 on:** February 22, 2005, 04:31:31 pm »

I think you should have the option of a 270 or 360 wheel.

IntruderAlert · « **Reply #29 on:** February 22, 2005, 04:35:02 pm »

..and how about an optional rotating monitor?
It would be the Ultimate Spinner!!!

1UP · « **Reply #30 on:** February 22, 2005, 04:44:43 pm »

The steering wheel I'm currently offering is actually a Playstation 2 wheel, which means of course that it has a d-pad for navigation.

pointdablame · « **Reply #31 on:** February 22, 2005, 04:45:32 pm »

awesome, awesome job 1up. That cab looks amazing. Unfortunately, its out of my means as a college student... but give me a few years and maybe we can talk LOL.

Good luck with the sales... I'm sure once people see the real thing, orders will roll in.

clanggedin · « **Reply #32 on:** February 22, 2005, 04:47:53 pm »

I may have to forego my Pinball purchase and pick up one of these.

Kudos to 1up for such an amazing product.

Gunstar Hero · « **Reply #33 on:** February 22, 2005, 04:48:32 pm »

1UP, buddy... pal...

BYOAC discount?

Maybe a "Trade In your old cab" promotion..?

Will you accept a slightly used soul?

Hehe, if you like PinMame^TM, just wait until I finish the pinball attachment...

What pinball apps use a pot? (Now is the time to get in those feature requests!)

SirPoonga · « **Reply #38 on:** February 22, 2005, 05:20:54 pm »

There was one that used joystick input. I can't recall off hand.

Most, however, would just require a plunger to pull back and trip a microswitch, then let go when enough power is up.

1UP · « **Reply #39 on:** February 22, 2005, 05:35:27 pm »

The plunger is a given. It just doesn't feel right to fire the ball with a button.
