WOODY - vertical cabinet 99% (its never really finished is it?) 8/12/8

(1/6) > >>

nullb0y:
So, A couple years ago i had a nice woodgrain setup running ddr pads 2 player w/ trackball
And it had awesome neon underlighting on the control pannel
Unfortunately i kept running into alot of problems with this setup and went for a podium 4 player set and a vertical cab

This is my attempt to finish my vertical cab

The bezel needs to be trimmed a bit
The cp needs buttons (i cant decide what all i want on it)
And the marquee needs to be wood burned OR painted on

p.s. if you dont find a vertical cab named woody even slightly amusing... im sorry

p.s.s. I posted a pic of what it used to look like.... god it was ugly lol

More history:

This woodgrain was at one point a taito
It has a serial for U.S open inside it.... lame
then it was converted to a gals panic
then converted into a colsole mame which stoped working when the tv inside died
where i purchased it in trade for a dynamo cab
I built my little ddr machine out of it realising it was a bad idea... i decided to make it a vert
I blew the monitor when i rotated it and had to rebuild all of the brackets for the new screen
mounted the new screen and the pentium 3 computer (got rid of the p4 for a different project)
And then this part of the project started

nullb0y:
Okay i have now trimmed the bezel better (bottom edge of screen was covered)
I also smoothed it out and blacked the edges off so it blends in better
the speakers were removed from the top of the cab (looked bad)
And the monitor bezel is held in place with some l brackets
(there is a lip on the bezel keeping it from moving forward the monitor and monitor mounts keep it from moving back and the l brackets keep it up)

Hunk_4TH:
Very cool , nice job! What are you going to do to it next? :)

nullb0y:
Well, I want to get a black edge peice for the CP (where its all messed up)
Mask off the ugly sony speaker install i did (looked okay when the cab was all neon'd)
then install some buttons (havent figured my layout yet)

I just got atomic FE to load So, im going to mess with that some more
 :cheers:

TOK:
Is that squished look is the result of the ATI software? Abandon it and let MAME do the flipping.
This is using MaLa and MAME flip with a Radeon 9550.
