8 Liner-Poker Cab Conversion (new pics 2/25/08)

(1/2) > >>

Jetson:
I found a gutted sit-down 8-liner cab on Ebay that was local and scored it for $25.00.

This cab is going to be for my sons ;-) (ok really for me), so the height is perfect for them, but is still tall enough that I can play standing up without having to bend.

So far I have it modified for an X-arcade Tankstick for the controller and a 19" CRT for the monitor. 

I'm putting in two sets of unused surround speakers...top and bottom so it should sound sweet.  The coindoor came out of a Ninento Punch Out.

Right now it's ready for the final coat of paint and assembly.

This is going to be a black X-Arcade themed cab with red t-molding.  I've got a few ideas for sideart that I will post later.

Thanks to all the great threads on here that have inspired me to get this thing done.

I like the design of the cabinet. I'd like it more if you integrated the X-arcade into the CP instead of on top of it.

Daniel B.:
Yea, I have never seen a cab quite like that, if you get a chance, could you give us some rough measurements?

Jetson:
I've got an X-Arcade marquee from mamemarquees.

I'll get you some measurements...but I can tell you that width wise it's about 24"

Jetson:
Here's a quick sketch and measurements on the cab.

I don't have to work this weekend, so I'm hoping to get at least the painting finished..hopefully I can get the whole thing put back together and working so the kids will stop buggin on me.
