Hi
Finally got around to announcing the start of this project (Well I have actually been planning this for quite a while).
A quick rundown of the components i will be using:
Interface: MiniPack (Ultimarc)
Buttons: Regulars with microswitch (Ultimarc)
Trackball: 3" highlip (Happ)
Joysticks: J-stick (Ultimarc)
Monitor: De cased 27" TV (Sony)
Monitor bezel: 27" (Happ)
Coin door + mech.: Happ over under
Speakers: 4" (Happ)
Amplifier: Gutted from Logitech speakers
Marquee lighting: NovaMatrix (Groovy GameGear)
Computer: 1,7 GHz P4, 512 MB RAM (leftover from work)
The colours in the pictures are just the ones i used in the CAD system. In real life it will most likely be painted all black with black or yellow T-moulding + fullsized sideart (based on the original Simpsons sideart). The CPO + marquee will be custom made (Simpsons themed of course).
The cabinet will be build from scratch using 19 mm and 12 mm MDF.
The model is modeled in 3D using SolidWorks 2007. Everything (3D CAD files, 2D drawings, sideart, marquee, CPO...) will of course be made available to this wonderfull forum
. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Any kind of feedback, critique or comments are welcome (I haven't started cutting wood yet
).
I'll update this post as often as i can.
This will probably be a slow build, so please be patient.
Update STARTWell i finally got around to compiling a collection of project related files that i created for this build:
