Gamester's ARCADE GALAXY
Gamester:
Christmas in July... ;D (well it was still July when it arrived anyway...)
So, the control panel will consist of the following items pictured:
- 2 Ultimarc Ultrastik 360 balltops
- 2 "Hard" springs for the Ultrastiks
- Ultimarc IPAC2
- GGG LED Wiz
- 7 Blue LED lighted NovaGem Pushbuttons with MicroLeaf switches (Player 1 & Spinner)
- 7 Red LED lighted NovaGem Pushbuttons with MicroLeaf switches (Player 2 & Spinner)
- 6 Clear LED lighted NovaGem Pushbuttons with "regular" microswitches (Coins, Starts & Admin Buttons)
- 4 Black pushbuttons (pinball buttons for the sides of the CP)
- GGG Electric Ice translucent ball
- RGB LED trackball light
- Two GGG NovaMatrix LED Marquee Lights
- GGG TurboTwist 2 Spinner with "Premium" spinner knob
- GGG Harness to connect the Happ trackball to the TT2 spinner controller board
- Button Wrench
- Happ trackball mounting plate
Gotta say, all this definitely left a void in the wallet, but I know when I see it all installed and lit up like Clark Griswold's house in Christmas Vacation, it will be so worth it. Hopefully I won't have as much trouble getting mine lit up as he did... :laugh2:
Gamester:
Here's my coin door. Overall it's in pretty nice shape, but I'm picky, so I think I'm probably going to end up stripping it and refinishing it. It also needs new coin drop inserts (they don't match)...
Gamester:
Just a few closeups for posterity. I'm sure they've been posted on the forum many times before, but what the heck...
The Ultimarc IPAC2 controller. No frills, but it's the heart of the control panel.
And here's the brains for the "bling"...
And the TurboTwist2 Spinner. This thing really has a nice quality feel to it. Very smooth and feels very solid in construction. I got the premium spinner knob, but elected to delete the BYOAC token on the top. I have some other plans for that spot, which I haven't finalized yet.
The RGB light for the trackball. Can't wait to see that baby lit up!
These are the inserts for the coin, start & admin buttons from Groovy Game Gear. They should look great lit from behind, and I like the fact that there's NO way they will wear since they are actually installed inside the buttons.
And this is one of the clear NovaGem buttons. The button inserts above will be installed inside them...
That's all for now...

Thanks Bender! I got the trackball light from Groovy Game Gear. It's part of his Electric Ice trackball lighting upgrade kit (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=74&products_id=273 )
Boy, maybe I should be hitting up RandyT for a commission check for all the press he's getting in my project thread! :P
