Very clean.  I love the small but functional CP.  Thanks for drawing up and posting the dimensions.  Great job.

Great work! Very clean cabinet.  :cheers:

Two questions:

In the end, have you decided not to light the marquee?

What's the stuff on the bezel in this picture: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=54567.0;attach=53332 ? Ordinary glue?

Thanks guys for all the compliments, makes all the hard work worthwhile.

hbm*rais: Yes the marquee will remain unlit for now. I'm really happy with the one I printed and it only cost me ~$20.00AUD. The glue I used is just ordinary water based wood glue. It's a horrible white colour when wet but dries clear.

Lutus: I actually thought I had a picture of MK running on the cab but can't find it anywhere. I'll take a pic and get it posted.

G'Day Holdennut. great work.

Can you tell me,,, did you purchase premade wiring looms or rewired the lot off a roll and some crimps.

Can you specify the wire gauge and what sort of crimps too if you don't mind please?


thanks.!
