Not quite as nice as that round one someone made, but still pretty decent. |

Item expired. Taking the liberty of posting the pics here. --- Quote ---New custom oak cocktail arcade machine. Machine opens to have 2 players sit side by side and play without standing or taking up tons of room. Has a very nice Monsoon sound system which works very well as a jukebox with windows media player or itunes. All sticks and buttons are Happ, so they have that sexy feel and are very durable (they are the same ones found in most arcade machines.) I had been looking for years for a machine without the nasty black veneer and t-banding (man there is a lot of crap out there), so as a custom furniture builder, and network admin, I created my own. Control panel is solid oak. The top is a custom tempered smoked glass with no bezel... all oak trim and banding. Finished with a minwax cherry to give a rich but neutral look. Right joystick is set up as a 4 way for pacman/donkey kong type games, and left is standard 8 way. Either can be changed by switching the limiter under the panel. Monitor is new 19" LCD. Track Ball works as the mouse with 2 buttons, and is great on centipede, marble madness and golden tee type games. Oak drawer pulls out to reveal keyboard with 2 usb ports to plug in peripherals or additional joysticks to play 4+ player games like gauntlet or simpsons. Side buttons are power for computer and monitor, and top ones are coins, pause, save, and load. Everything is set up as USB to be easily upgraded. Comes with remanufactured Sony Vaio P3 slimtop which is plenty of speed for games prior to 2002. Take a look at the video at http://youtube.com/watch?v=22PWEUkVGEU I will not ship this unit, local pickup only, but if you want to place a custom order, please email me and let me know what you are interested in. --- End quote --- ------- Cheap copy if you ask me. Not to mention the bugger is wanting 1500 for it loaded with roms most likely. |

it is a nice looking unit, maybe not as authentic since it isn't black, but it is more likely to be approved by a wife to be placed in a living room or something. |

Nice looking cocktail. The CP slant looks pretty painfull though. Each to there own but I dont know why anyone would build a cocktail and not have a CP for vertical games, I know many people have them set purely for horizontal but its beyond me. |

I mean, most electronic components are black. But yeah it looks like he did a great job. upright seems a little jaded on this here. |
