Horrorshow Arcade - Upright cabinet project built from scratch
Gatsu:
definitely needs some cup holders. ;D
just kidding.
seriously though. I think a coin door would probably be all you'd need to add. But thats just me.
jeef:
very nice and tidy project.
May I ask how the glass and bezel are held in place? and how you got the back of the control panel to line up with the control panel box. I'm doing a very similar design to yours and am stumped on these.
Cheers
pinballwizard79:

The glass is made of two layers of 2mm plexiglass. The bezel picture is between those layers and is held with sheer pressure and static electricity. The plexiglass itself is held with a small bar going around the open screen, but not in the bottom (see picture). On the bottom there is a wedge cut in the wood so that the plexi will have no place to move. After installing that, there is a very small triangle bars put on top of all the sides and nailed with very small nails to the sides.
For the panel there were few options on how to do it. I used a milling cutter to remove 2mm from the edges of the panel, so that the part not milled was exactly the part which went inside the box. You can see this milling in the wiring picture on the cabinet's website. So now it goes on it automatically without any problem. The locking mechanism of the panel is actually four small angle irons which are screwed in place. The ones in the front are cut inside the boxes front panel, and the ones in the back go behind the box. This also gives to panel no chance of moving or be in any other position than the one I want.

Aaah, ok, cheers. Yeah, I have something similar lined up, with the bottom piece holding the glass/plexi in place.
Just checking out your project website, don't know how I missed that link before, some great reading on there, thanks!
