--- Quote from: retrofuture on June 19, 2009, 05:53:20 pm ---Thanks parag0n (and Bender). I think I'm going to cover the both cabs with laminated vinyl from http://www.arcadestickers.co.uk/. Hot glue is crud. Both back doors have come apart, so They're being PVA'd together at the mo. I don't know whether the hot glue is not very good on MDF or not, but sticking it to pine 1/4 dowels doesn't work for me. :angry: --- End quote --- Don't use hot glue for that. Use simple wood glue. Much much better results. I want one of those tiny monitors, by the way... lol. |

Yep, but I had to use my new hot glue gun on something! The monitors are dinky, yet flippin' deep (and heavy). There's no way these things are going to move about. They're almost a two-man lift. |

I could think of many a neat project for those. |

Ah, I get you ::), I'm a bit new to this and haven't tackled a wordworking/eletronic project since school (20+ urm yrs). I was lucky to pick the monitors up. They were the inspirational, cheap basis, along with Zorg's brilliant tracing, of the cabs. Although as leapinlew said in his Galaga bartop thread, I'm now (and my bro) down £X00's with bits left over. |

Long time, no post. I've designed the bezel artwork using the original design plus the artwork from between the monitor glass and control panel. The polycarbonate is now roughly cut for the marquee and monitor. I'm using 3mm clear, with the artwork behind, backed by 5mm smoked. It should be fairly sturdy. |
