Mike's Arcade Machine Emulator (Knievel inspired) It's Alive!
gatordad:
As the name suggests I am calling my first cabinet Mike's Arcade Machine Emulator. I know, I know, but I'm lucky that the letters match. ;D
I have looked through most of the examples of scratch built cabs and I am most impressed with the talent and quality of projects here. I was inspired to get, build, or modify one of my own.
I looked through the Hall of fame stuff and WOW when I saw Knievel's Neon MAME I thought OH MY is that thing georgous. :notworthy:
After searching and looking for many, many, hours, I kept being drawn back to Knievels NEON cab.
Since I do not have a ton of woodworking experience, I decided to search for a cabinet in good physical shape that would become my very own Arcade Machine Emulator.
Now that I have a destination,
Let the journey begin..............
I found this semi empty nfl blitz cab on my local craigslist
It came with 4 Midway 49 ways
Some more shots
My 2 boys are chomping at the bit to play it already
Looks like its time to get to work......
stay tuned
Regards Mike

Nice looking cab. Good luck with the conversion and adding the Knievel bling to it. Don't forget to post lots of pics!

Has he made a cocktail yet, that is probably the only type of cab knievel hasn't inspired people with.

Had a little time to work on the cab today.
The power supply works! :applaud:
Can you say BONUS, I struck GOLD ($1.25)was found inside a very clean over under coin door
The surgery begins....... Removing the intestines of this lifeless creature
Now that I have had time to give the cab a very detailed looking over, I have some monitor bracket holes to fill, scratchs to fix, and corners and edges to redo. Anyone have an idea what that large hole on the right was used for?
More tomorrow....
