Check my cabinet upgrade
(1/3) > >>
AlanS17:
Well upgrading has finally started! The first (and probably most important) step is upgrading the control panel. Thanks to Doug Hansen for the "bumpout" idea. Check out my cabinet (pictures included) at:

http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=10;action=display;threadid=8798;start=new;boardseen=1

More pictures will come soon as I make more progress. I still need to place my order to Bob Roberts, though.

Yall all ahve really raised the bar. I hope I can meet up to the new stndards some people have set in here. I've sen some cabinet on this site that dont' just rival dedicated arcade machines... they beat them.

P.S. I still need help with the artwork. Sideart is taken care of. (You can see it stuck to the wall for now behind the machine in the pics.) However, I still need a marquee and CPO. Anybody wanna help???  ;D (It needs to be blue and red to bring everything together.)

Nice job Alan :)
It doesn't look like an add-on at all.  Very tastfully done. You've integrated an oversized control panel onto a regular sized cabinet and it doesn't dwarf the cab like some I've seen. Well done.

Thank you very much! I built the CP to look like it already belonged there. I didn't want it to look like a modification.

(I hope ya'll don't mind my patting my own back. People in south Texas just don't understand. They're like "Uhhh... that's... great? I think?")

I like it a lot!!! I love the rounded CP, Nice work!!! ;D

Yeah, nobody down here seems to 'get' it.. I would guess it's the same all over, though -- looked upon as a geek thing.

So, seriously, where are the babes? ???
