Candy Cab with rotatable monitor

<< < (2/3) > >>

Gatsu:
looks good man.

Might have to make a dedicated Naomi Candy cab like this one once I get my fighter cab finished.

fivslt:
Looks good.  :cheers:
Have you considered putting handles to the outer bezel? They are ugly, but would make
it easier to handle the monitor.
Where will the speakers go?
How does the retaining bar work in the vertical position, does it grab
the side? I'm not sure if this would work but maybe there could be two retaining bars at perpendicular edges, so that at least one of them would grab the bottom in either position. If the bars are not too long, I think they would both fit there. What do you think?

- EDIT -
Sorry, after looking the pictures again, I see that this would not work, since there's no space for a retaining bar at the sides. Please ignore the last suggestion. :-[

Hi Zupapa,
To answer a couple of your questions, I have got hold of some micro pc speakers which are pod shaped, these will fit to the left and right of the monitor bezel. Did think about handles for lifting the screen in and out - but the screen is light enough to enable easy rotation.
Yes you are right regarding the retaining bar - it locks into place either in the horizontal or vertical position, so I think stability is ok.
Thanks for the questions, here is a link to the monitors - only 5watts per channel, but because so close to you think lound enough (for now anyway)

Thanks for the interest Pinguy  :)

Thought it was time for an update,
Still got cpo artwork and cabinet decals to do, plus need a coin door lock to finish of, plus might incorporate a few small buttons for the jukebox side of things.

As usual comments, suggestions welcome.

Cheers Pinguy
