Evnin'

No thanks to school I have finally finished with the first stage of the Warlords Cocktail Project. I have completed all the dimensions in CAD. It is my hope that anyone will be able to build there own project with the plans I have made up. Every piece of the original cabinet is detailed in the plans. So if someone wants to build a MAME version with an A-PAC then only apply the information you need. There are a few things you will have to acquire but everything is available except the glass underlay. I have a great original that I will be getting scanned. Anyway, this project is long overdue and I have the nasty part done. I will take pictures of each panel and build an assembly log. Is there anyone interested?

Kind Regards\

I'm also having problems unzipping it using 7zip.

Here are some newer .rar files. Rename them from .txt to .rar

That did it. Thanks.

Update: Panel C is cut

I used a 1/2" Straight cut router bit to cut this.

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #8 on:** January 01, 2006, 03:15:18 pm »

Inside-outside cuts

Start of Side D

Here's how I like to drill larger holes.

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #11 on:** January 02, 2006, 08:22:50 pm »

On to the bottom and monitor supports! Ive just acquired the orphan parts I need to build a MAME Warlords without raping my original. I guess I'll need an A-Pac.

Opinions?

A-pac should be perfect. It provides 4 analog axes which is exactly what you need. What type of paddles are you using?

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #13 on:** January 03, 2006, 01:09:43 am »

Ive got some plastic repro knobs from the guy on EBay and Ill be using 5K pots.

This is great. I've viewed your plans before and am glad to see a working example.

If you are interested, I've got a manual for the upright version for you for free just cover shipping.

Also, are you going to make the scan of available at the Artwork Library? The bezel isn't much but it be nice to archive. Personally, I think the sideart and marquee for the upright is really nice and is often overlooked at how nice it is. That reminds me I need to scan in my marquee.

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #15 on:** January 04, 2006, 06:15:09 pm »

Well the bottom is done and I've completed the access door locking mech.

Looking the dog's danglies so far, the craftmanship looks incredible too. I REALLY need to learn how to use a router properly!

Ill be watching this thread closely, please keep the pictures coming as you go.

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #17 on:** January 05, 2006, 05:03:20 pm »

Thanks to Ken Layton,

I have found a 14" CGA monitor.

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #18 on:** January 05, 2006, 07:07:48 pm »

Howdy

Here is a technique for producing many small parts with a router.

Draw up the part leaving a temp tab.

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #19 on:** January 05, 2006, 07:10:03 pm »

Mass produce with a laminate bit!

Zakk · « **Reply #20 on:** January 05, 2006, 08:34:39 pm »

Here's a questions though: How do you make a fence for a weird shape or curve?

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #21 on:** January 05, 2006, 08:43:16 pm »

I use a straight piece of angle iron for everything.

Zakk · « **Reply #22 on:** January 05, 2006, 09:54:05 pm »

I use angle iron for a fence too, for a jigsaw, fow a circ saw, and for the router. Seeing your ultra smooth curve I figured there was a 'genius' way of doing them. Ah well, back I go to nibbling

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #23 on:** January 05, 2006, 11:05:01 pm »

Well The joints seem to come out nice.

Just the coin drawer guides, monitor support, tabletop, and ends left.

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #24 on:** January 08, 2006, 12:48:40 am »

This one took a few beers to finish.

Am I wasting my time or will this project be worth the effort?

Just as long as you don't waste ours

This is absolute craftmanship at its best. It looks just perfect.

Don't be Blasphemous!

Nice work. Keep it up... wait till it's finished.. and your standing back looking at your toy of joy with a beer in one hand... and then you tell me if you've wasted time. I think I know what the answer will be!?

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #27 on:** January 08, 2006, 02:28:21 pm »

I do know that my warlords gets played more than my GoldMine at parties.

koolmoecraig · « **Reply #28 on:** January 08, 2006, 02:43:27 pm »

That is some quality work.

Nice Job.

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #29 on:** January 08, 2006, 11:01:37 pm »

Evening

Zakk · « **Reply #30 on:** January 09, 2006, 02:22:27 am »

I dunno. If that thing is going to be off 1/16" you might as well scrap it. Anything over 1/32" is a travesty to the memory of warlords.

DrewKaree · « **Reply #31 on:** January 09, 2006, 08:04:51 am »

Kraw, send that ass hat some wind chimes

Now that is real humor.

Zakk · « **Reply #35 on:** January 09, 2006, 10:55:28 am »

Aww Kraw, don't be so sensitive

I suppose in YOUR case we can forgive the 1/16". Just don't let it happen again.

If it is bugging you though, I'll arrange the shipping and you can send what you have done so far to my house. I'll see if I can salvage it.

nostrebor · « **Reply #36 on:** January 09, 2006, 01:58:07 pm »

The original formica pic just screams 1979!

You might try sending a pic to one of the manufacturers or formica distributors to see if they can compare it to what's available. There are usually lots more colors finishes available that a cabinet shop will have samples for. You might be able to order a sheet in if they have a better match.

BTW, I would bet that Atari had a tolerance of +/- 1/16" in the manufacturing process. You should make some of your parts slightly different and be sloppy during glue-up, to maintain authenticity

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #37 on:** January 09, 2006, 04:16:50 pm »

Well here it is,

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #38 on:** January 10, 2006, 04:59:43 pm »

Well my savior has come

Tbombaci is a major contributor to the vector art library and has agreed to vectorize the file. There is even talk of getting full blown screen printing done. Wouldn't that be sweet. I have submitted the file to him and he claims it should be done soon.

Thanks tbombaci

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #39 on:** January 12, 2006, 02:41:50 pm »

Well here is the side template. This will allow me to make two with a laminate bit before I start modifying each individual end.

BTW the vectorization of the glass is complete. It still has to be scaled though. He did a great job.
