Whiskeroids, you might want to check out Cleric's thread (http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=8161;start=msg61333#msg61333) as he also lives in Portugal. As far as parts are concerned you're in luck as you have one on the best (possibly the best) arcade manufacturers in the world on your doorstep - www.industrias-lorenzo.com. They make most of Happ's joysticks. unfortunately however they don't sell ball tops. --- End quote --- THKS for the thread and the contact! :) Now i think that my job's being simplified! :) I didn't know that i wasn't the only portuguese guy in the scene! :) I'll try also the industrias-lorenzo site but i don't think they sell to particulars, only to major companys and big arcades! :) Thks a lot guys!

I didn't see how the rest of your thread turned out but it sounds like it turned to custard pretty quick. If it was my fault I apologise sincerely. --- End quote --- Yeah, with that one, you made my essential thread bazoom... I'm sorry if i'm a newbie on the scene and have several questions to make! Well, what is done it's done! Probably i'll just U2U to enlight my doubts! ;D Ciau |

Whiskeroids, do yourself a big favor and research your project before you jump into it. Find out the parts on the PC, Monitor and Controls before you worry too much about a cabinet. You can build a cabinet from scrap wood if you HAD to......but those other parts you can't manufacture on your own, so you'd better know how much $$$ you are talking about first. The worst thing will be having to cut major corners cuz you can't come up with the cash...... |

If your looking for a used cab... Things to consider... Find what you can get... 1) Wood control panel is GREAT... Allows you to replace it or add buttons easily. 2) CRT is GREAT! You will need/want to get an ArcadeVGA card... but if you are going with an IPac/JPac anyway, it will be worth it. 3) Even a crappy looking arcade is WAY FUN! I havne't finished mine yet and it's been up for years. I keep changing it... but I never put the finishing touches.... So if you get a great deal on one with a working monitor and a few joysticks, but its cosmetically not so hot... Go for it.... Make sure there isn't too much water damage at the corners. Not a big deal, just not super easy to fix. Once you find out what you can get... Figuring out whats needed is easier. And this thread is back to the way out groovy cool peace lovin' stuff that we love around here man! Peace out! |
