A Mame machine in an antique buffet - USB probs solved (I think!)

No, not really, got all the photos locally. I plan on putting something together eventually,
but this thread is pretty much it right now....
likwidtek:
Photobucket and (Google's) Picasa web albums are both great. Personally I prefer Picasa simply because the Picasa photo program they give you for free is AWESOME. Both of them have an auto uploady kinda deal that makes it easy.
Anyway, this thing rocks man. You have some serious talent!

Actually, if you choose the 'view all posts' option, and you blink your eyes rapidly just right while scrolling down with your wheel mouse, Dr Venture has cleverly arranged the photos so that the cabinet assembles itself into its final form like a stop-animation transformer in real time. It's very cool. If it doesn't work for you the first time, try blinking faster or slower. You'll get it eventually.

@likwidtek
Yeah, I use Picasa A LOT, but just not to upload photos... Might have to check that out.

:laugh2:
You've caught on to my nefarious machinations! >:D I'd rule the world by surreptitiously hypnotizing all the byoac'ers who happen upon my thread. But not anymore. Thanks to you meddling kids! ;)
Which reminds me, I gotta put together a stop motion animation of the whole thing opening up at some point in the near future. Wish I'd been able to automate +that+ process <sigh>. Guess there's always the next build :)

A little more progress. Finally got time last weekend to get a good start on my "adjustable tilt sensors", and just finished 'em up tonight.
So, here goes.
First, the obligatory workspace shot :)
I've been working out of my dining room because it's just too dang hot to do this stuff in the garage!
Here's some of the parts I'm using. Long brass screws. Brass knurled knobs, washers, nuts, etc.
A few interesting bits, some grandfather clock hands I had lying about, what was left of the little numbers I used on my P1-4 buttons. Remember those?
A few tools necessary for the process. Hacksaw, hammer, vice, a jig (basically just a hole in a piece of wood!)
Not pictured, disc sander and grinder
All that is for shaping brass rod into small U shapes to use as "finger guards". Not because your fingers are in danger, but to keep poking fingers away from thin clockworks!
You can see those brass rod "u"s above. I polished them up and sealed them with Future.
and that's it!
No, actually, the rest I'll post in the next post... ;)
