pacman jakks game question ?
CheffoJeffo:
What they said !
I decided to make a bartop for my brother from a Jakks unit after seeing BishMasterB's mini arcade.
The wiring is SOOOO easy (in case that was a concern), so all that is left is finding a cheap TV and cutting the wood (I really need to get to cutting the wood part ... I did the wiring months ago ... but it is raining today).
Really doesn't make sense to buy one at that price.
And since noone has included links for you:

These'll get you started ...
Cheers.

I bought the Namco Jakks Pacific game for my brother's birthday present last year. It's definately great fun for just plugging in to your TV and playing, however as a previouse poster said it's not 100% accurate to the original since it's designed for horizontal TVs rather than verticles.

I think this same discussion was already had:

I think Jimmy Jet put it best in his post at the bottom. People really only take into account the cost of supplies here, not all the other costs of labor etc... I don't think this cab will appeal to members of this forum, everyone here is here because we make our own and don't want to pay someone else to do the work for us, but I could see where this sort of thing would appeal to the average person that doesn't want to do all that stuff and would rather just pay someone to do it.
I think you obvisouly have the desire to make your own, and their cabinet doesn't look too dificult to make, you should just go for it on your own and ask your questions (if you have any) on these forums.
