Project #2: Pac-man from scratch
amadama:
Minor updates today.
Built the monitor mount for my lcd monitor.
Installed coin door (to test fit)
Installed fluorescent marquee light
Cut and drilled marquee brackets.
Test mounted speakers
Still having a bear of a time trying to figure out how to mount CP!! If it weren't for that I would have started painting it today.
(WunderCade, it's definetely a Pac-man and not a Ms. Pac)

This is looking great! Watching you build this and with my current experience restoring my cab from 1979, I'm pretty sure I'm going to build my next one myself. I think in the end, I'll be done sooner. I'm too OCD with the filling and sanding and gluing and bondo to make something old seem new.
Before you go fully mounting that LCD, can you grab some pics of the LCD frame/hanging panel? So far, I'm using Javery's example as inspiration on how to go about doing mine and would like to see how you are planning on achieving this. Here's an example of what i'm referring to. Thanks in advance!

Hi csa,
Thanks for the comments.
I am going to be restoring that old Ms Pac in the photos so let's see which one is tougher to do, from scratch or restoration!)
I will definetely take pictuee of the monitor mounting frame I made. It's 22.75"x22.75" and i can slide it in in any direction so I can have vertical and horizontal monitor orientation!
Photos tomorrow! (I put the cab away for the evening, since I don't have a work area inside my house I have to drag everything outside to my driveway to work. This really slows me down as I can't really do quick work as it take like 30 mkinutes to bring all my stuff outside and get setup!)

Looking really good. You are making great progress on your cab.
amadama:
Coming down to the wire!
Built control panel today (wanted to put in my new spinner and a few buttons over the basic Pac-man CP).
Primed cab.
Painted yellow portions.
Started painting black inside.
Pics soon!
