MAME in baby steps
skippy0420:
Alright. Here are the pics of the stripping of the paint. I have a few pics of the stuff used and the side of the cabinet after a few applications. The artwork under the paint was faded a bit like someone had taken some sand paper to it before putting on the two other coats of paint. I have to take it all off and start somewhere else.

Alrighty...Here is my attempt at soldering and the wiring of the control panel. I tore up one of the 3COM 8 port ethernet hubs and took the Dremel to everything but the actual hubs and the ends through the board.
I also cut a long thin rectangle out of the board so I can mount the TOKN on the same side as the ports with the wired running through the board and soldered to the pins on the board below.
I used a Cold Heat soldering gun from Coleman and abused it enough that the tip actually began to disintigrate on me this evening. Looks like I have to buy a REAL soldering gun now.
You get the idea with the pic's below. Sorry the one is blurry but you get the idea!
***Ohh...won 10 7" Cat6 cables (3 RED, 3 BLUE, 2 BLACK, 2 WHITE) to fit the panel below***
skippy0420:
CP idea but still no clue how I would mount it yet. This is scaled and is roughly 30" wide and 15" deep. I don't have the trackball, 4 way or the extra buttons. The parts I do have are the Red and Blue joystick and buttons as well as the 4 green buttons and the 1 & 2 players. The red boxes on the top are the appoximate distance of the side panels.
The wheels keep on turnin!

Looks good; comfortable layout. OOoo, shame about the Centipede side art though :( What are your plans for that .. painting or vinyl?
skippy0420:
I am going to pull all the vinyl off and paint the sides. Not even sure of the colors yet at this point but I want to keep it a neutral kind of theme in case I would like to get rid of the cabinet and start working on another.
I don't think there is a market/want in Wisconsin for a CUBS, BEARS or Fighting Illini cabinet! ;D
