TRON - A Dedicated Maming (Finished)
BUCKETHEAD:
Worked on the Ballast that goes behind the MCP artwork,
That is behind the Monitor shroud today.
Since my cabinet was missing that part when i got it.
I came up with a way of replacing it.
I used an old ballast, And transfered the guts out of another Light Fixture.
Exactly the way i did the CP blacklight fix.
BUCKETHEAD:
Next i had to figure out a way to mount the MCP artwork ballast.
I wanted it to have enough clearance,
So that it does not lay up next to the artwork.
I attached some gold angle brackets,
And mounted it on the wooden beam, where the original ballast was mounted.
BUCKETHEAD:
Bought a pair of speakers at the thrift store for $5.00
They were brand new and still in the box!
Stripped the fabric off the front of them.
Took them apart and Hot Glued them above the speaker holes.
So they are not going anywhere.
Added 2 gold L" brackets to the back of the Amp,
And mounted it to the original beam inside the cab.
So the volume is accessible through the coin door.
BUCKETHEAD:
Also cut a shelf for the lower CP light.
Since the machine was missing the original ballast also.
Figured this was the easiest work around for this problem.
Gotta pick up a Blacklight bulb for it though.
It is supported with shelf brackets underneath.
Also drilled 3 holes in the MDF so that Opti-pac, Keywiz and other wires,
Can run down to the computer.
BUCKETHEAD:
Well i couldn't help it.
I just had to put some stuff back on the cabinet.
The Lower CP artwork and the upper CP blacklight cover.
And light her up!
I need to get a blacklight bulb for the lower cp.
Here are a few pictures.
