Mario Bros. Arcade Reproduction - Now with POW Block Stool
wilef:
The main reason is cost. I was able to snag a 20" PC monitor for free and am going to see if I'm satisfied with that solution. What's the benefit of using an arcade monitor? I don't know much about that. Thanks.
Hiub1:
The advantage of using an arcade monitor is that the picture will be faithful to the original. Look on the Wiki, there is a load of information there about arcade monitors. As nice as your cabinet is coming out, I think that it deserves to have a nice arcade monitor, but you can always make do with the PC monitor until you can scrounge up enough cash for the arcade one. You can pick up a brand new 19'' monitor from 8 Liners for $110 plus shipping of around $50, so you are looking at around $160 for a good one.

Alright,
Thanks for the info, I'll take a look at that.

Got the locks in the mail and installed the coin door lock. Just need to drill the hole in the back door for the door lock (which is a little thicker and deeper for the depth of the wood). I hope to get a lot done this coming weekend.
SithMaster:
what type of bolts did you use for the coin door? i have a nintendo one as well and they are square which i think is odd.
and for your retainer was it custom cut in the home depot for the length and did they drill holes?
