Wow, I had not checked back here until I noticed a reply to my post in my spammed fill email. The monitor is still working OK after the repair. Every once in a while, it flickers, but seems to go away. When it flickers, I can hear a little electronic pop, but it sometimes doesn't happen for weeks. I don't know if it's something that will degrade and fail, or just continue every once in a while. It's good to know others with the Happs monitor are having success, because after October I will be out of the warranty period and rather than fix this one (if it needs it) I might buy another one. I use the arcade about once per week also, but my 2 year old daughter is starting to show more interesting in it. It could be turned on every day in the near future.

As for future projects, I might make another arcade for another location we sometimes go on the weekends. I would have to get those plans past the significant other which might not fly too well. But you never know.

Thanks for replying everyone,

awesome job Ragged. Isn't having your own cab just the best??

Trebeck,

Yes, I really love having the arcade cabinet. I toss around the idea of building another one, but I wonder what I would do for another spinner. The vortex spinner is such a top notch control, I don't know if I would be happy with another one. Since I haven't been reading the messages much lately, what are people using to substitute for the oscar controls vortex?

For a while I have been having the idea to make little 4 x 6 cards (photos) of instructions for each game. This came to mind over time as people would come over and want to play the arcade and I wasn't here. My wife didn't know what all the buttons do on the control panel, so it was hard for anyone to play without me here. Since I didn't want to have the names of the buttons on the control panel, I am trying to come up with cards for each game that I laminate, and put on a large keyring so anyone who walks up to the machine knows how to navigate the Mamewah menu and how each game is played. Here is my first one for Galaga '88. Anyone else done anything like this?
