O'Boyle's Arcade - by the "book"
Spyridon:
Yesterday I ordered the Nova Matrix LED marquee light from GGG. I can't wait to start putting the guts into this cab.

Now it's time for the difficult part (at least for me) working on the control panel.
First I cut a sheet of Lexan to fit. I used 5/8" MDF for the control panel so the Lexan will bring me up to 3/4" and the t-molding will fit nicely.
...and that brings you up to date with the progress. I plan to start cutting the holes in the control panel this weekend. I need to figure out how to use the router on the joystick and trackball cutouts. My first ever router use was the slot cuts for the t-molding, which went really well. This will be a bit more of a challenge. I'll just work on a practice piece until I figure it out.

Awesome build. Good luck with it. Gives me hope that I too can knock out a decent cab.

You're just a bit ahead of me - I'm working on the front door right now then prime and paint. I'm doing my search for the monitor (thinking 25-26" TV) and prepping for the Control Panel layout. Enjoying reading your reports, so please keep it up!
Great work...
Jim

I would rethink using Lexan. It scratches much too easily. Plexi is the way to go. Great work so far...keep it up. Can't wait to see the final cab.
