Gameday

<< < (2/12) > >>

Todd H:
Messaged received on the name. I'll do a few mockups of Gameday and see what it looks like. Thanks.

Edit: I've changed it to Gameday. Thanks Eric for the name and shmokes for the brutally honest feedback. :)

Todd H:
I picked up the cabinet today. Looks to be a Dynamo cabinet that was used as a Mortal Kombat II. It looks like it's been painted a number of times as well.

The cabinet is in decent shape with the exception of a couple of spots, as seen below.

Here's some more shots. I just linked to them as I didn't feel like resizing them.

This picture shows that the front panel (where the coin door is mounted) has some pretty serious cracks. I'm thinking it's probably going to need replacing.

So the question is should I fix all of the imperfections and paint or just use laminate? I have a sprayer to paint the cabinet with. If I paint, how do I prepare the surface? Any input is welcome.

I'm going to have to go with a smaller monitor after doing some measurements. The opening is only 24" wide and the cabinet itself is not very deep. I couldn't find a 27" multisync that would fit. That limits me to a 25" CGA monitor, a 25" tri-sync analog monitor (which won't remember setting when switching resolutions), or a PC monitor.

Edit: Made my decision. Going with a 25" CGA arcade monitor. All the games I want to play are old school classics so it just made sense.
