New Cabinet Build - CandyCab FOBT conversion

(1/9) > >>

CandyCabs:
Hi, I'm going to document the building of my latest CandyCab FOBT conversion here. For those that don't know, FOBT stands for Fixed Odds Betting Terminal and there are loads of these doing the rounds in UK. I think they make fantastic MAME cabs and are relatively easy to convert.

I've been doing this for some years now, but people keep asking me to show them how it's done - so i thought I'd post some pictures and build steps here.

I'm more than happy to answer any questions as we go, so please fire away :)

Cheers,

Mike.

Welcome to the forum Mike. :)

Waveryder on here did an awesome conversion of one of those cabs.

Is that cab one for a customer? What controls are in it? Did they choose the layout etc?

CandyCabs:
I love the colour - it's actually called "Candy Blue" which i thought was appropriate. Difficult to spray though because getting a consistent colour depth all over was a pain.

This cab is a demo unit - not for a specific customer. I wanted to show the new control panel with the trackball in action.

Franco B:
Oh I see.

Whats with the button layout? That angle doesn't look too comfortable to play. Its a shame the trackball is so far forward too but I suppose you have limited width.
