Mario Bros. Arcade Reproduction - Now with POW Block Stool
wilef:
Good eye!
The third cabinet is a Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting that my brother picked up at a garage sale for $150. The cabinet will get some much needed cosmetic restoration, but the important part is that the monitor is crisp with no burn-in, and the board looks brand new.
I was meaning to do this for awhile now, so your post made me do it. I just made a blog for this project too: http://streetfighterarcade.blogspot.com/
The marquee retainers are L-shaped brackets that I got at Home Depot. They came in 4 ft. pieces so one piece made 2 retainers (4 needed for each cab, 2 for marquee, 2 for bezel). The brackets cost about $4 each and the ones I got were 1/16" thick and 3/4" for each side (they come in many different sizes, widths, and thicknesses). I primed them with Rustoleum Clean Metal Primer spray and then painted them black with Rustoleum Painter's Touch black spray paint.
And the CP will be the best part, I can't wait either!

Holy crap man! That looks fricking awesome. I am guessing a nice 19'' arcade monitor is going in this puppy right? What are you doing for the control panel?
Keep up the good work.

Actually I'll be using a 20" PC monitor, the CP will look like the attached picture below, a modified version of the original (also attached). The rearranging of graphics will allow for a 6-button layout. What do you think?

Here's the CP with the outline of buttons/joysticks.

The overlay looks sweet! Any particular reason why you're going with the PC monitor? I recently was able to configure an old Radeon 9200SE (not an ArcadeVGA) to display the 15 KHz for an arcade monitor very easily. Let me know if you want to know more!
