Author Topic: My cabinet is complete! Thanks for all the help! (Read 9339 times)

This weekend, I finally finished my arcade cabinet. It's a Centuri "Track and Field" that was converted to a Double Dribble. Here's how it looked when I got it:

And here it is now, (pics, as usual, didn't turn out great) complete with a marquee from emdkay, side-art from mamemarquees.com, and parts from Ultimarc, divemaster, and mikesarcade:

Thanks for all your help! I might work on a proper bezel soon, and I'm still setting up the PC.

EDIT: News pictures with U360s installed instead of Happ Universals

EDIT: Added Ultimarc's Ultralux lighted pushbuttons

I dont think Ive ever seen the 7th button on that side, hows that working out for you? other then the non-theme theme looks great. My first cab was a Track and feild that was converted to a cabal, that I converted to a street fighter II Rainbow ed and gave to my buddy.

find all the work in progress pix and post something in the project announcement section.

Yeah, I went non-theme because since it plays everything, I just felt I'd cover different aspects of what it plays, without going overboard on the art.

As for the 7th button, it's only a 6-button setup with the 4 wired twice.

marlboroa:
Thanks again for the hookup on the cabinet. Glad you like what I did with it.
Nice to hear you got your Baby Pac working (post pics!). That's a great machine. And Q-Bert is actually pretty rare, so that's awesome! Good find!

Ginsu, nice job. Can you take a pic of your CAB instruction sheet on the bezel? I want to get a close up look at it.

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #7 on:** March 31, 2008, 11:04:36 pm »

Here's a low res version. It's just an edit of the Vortex instruction card from the homebrew section at Localarcade

What FE are you running?

I have that same cabinet. I like how you mounted the monitor more horizontally.

Think you could give me any tips so i can do the same in my cab?

Thanks,

Dylan

Here are the changes I made. Hope this makes sense:

Awsome work Ginsu Victim, Where did you get the art for the CP? I like it allot.

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #16 on:** November 03, 2009, 09:48:40 am »

Wal-mart. Just a Marvel poster. It's only temporary until I can figure out what I really want.

I'm glad you said that... I didn't want to be a turd and say the control panel didn't really match either the sideart or marquee, but it was the first thing that occurred when I looked at it.

The marquee and bezel have the Tron vibe, so some kind of similar grid/circuit style art would be nice.

Awww man this sucks!...Work PC has 80% photos blocked...I guess I'll have to wait till I get home...

The bezel isn't Tron anymore. This is an old thread. Now it's a starfield.

Old thread anyway. Don't worry about it.

TOK · « **Reply #21 on:** November 03, 2009, 04:13:19 pm »

Didn't even notice it was old.

Ummon · « **Reply #22 on:** November 03, 2009, 05:44:17 pm »

I would've kept the monitor down in it. Or compromised at some angle in-between. I just don't really dig monitors at more than 60 degrees relative to the deck.

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #23 on:** November 03, 2009, 05:59:43 pm »

It was the only option with the monitor I have. It would've stuck out the back at every other angle I tried. I have it as far forward as I can and it's still touching the back door. I tried decasing it and it wasn't enough.

The angle is great for my AimTrak, though.

kevin2me · « **Reply #24 on:** April 27, 2011, 12:47:03 pm »

Awesome Thanks buddy

Hows AimTrak going, Im thinking of adding guns too?
They are $44 for Gun and $44 Aimtrak from ultimarc.

I have 15Nanao Monitor V\H are one cable, so hopefully still work fine.
Love that Artwork!

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #25 on:** April 27, 2011, 04:46:29 pm »

Thanks for bumping an old thread that was in the wrong place to begin with....

Vigo · « **Reply #26 on:** April 27, 2011, 05:33:59 pm »

I for one love random bumped threads. Its like a little slice of the past that you can derail for fun.
