-Projected Nexus- It's been a while
Pixelhugger:
WOW! A story to go with your cab! My kind of build!! And the aluminum trim... everything is top drawer. And an "unveiling!" WOO HOO!
Man, I love this kind of obsession. It's inspiring! :applaud: And a fantastic website as well.
Paladin:
Just curious if you based your cab off of the Atari Vindicators design, or if the resemblance was just coincidence. Someone's been trying to sell a Vindicators in my area for a while, and I keep seeing it pop up on Cragslist. When I checked your project I first thought that you had bought one and were modifying it.
I gotta say that yours puts the Atar version to shame!
releasedtruth:
Thanks for the comments. Yes Paladin, I had an idea in mind and I looked around to see if there was anything like it so I could compare dimensions and make sure it would actually work in practice. Vindicators helped me refine some pieces into something more functional. Those old 80s Atari cabs were slick. The unveiling right now is slated for 30 people on Sat night. Beers, games, and we'll be playing Robocop on one TV and Die Hard on another and it won't just be guys either! Takes a bold woman to be around that much testosterone. I'll be wearing a suit and I have a huge black sheet covering it so it'll be unveiled at 8pm sharp with much fanfare. I'll share all the pics and the final finished pics in the days to come.

Sweet! How did you mount the metal ring around the top right button?
releasedtruth:
It's a 1.25" chrome ring so I had to dremel around the button just a wee bit to make it fit. I was going to glue it down, but right now it fits snug around it. The idea is that it's kind of like putting a quarter up to say "I got next" but instead you put the ring around the 2P. There's one on each of course. Better pics to come of everything lit up.
