saleem:
yes,thats right.but,did i actualy cry about their comments.i stopped them by deleting my pics.
but,am i telling him what to do with what he owns.you tell a story yet you tell it in less than halfs.so go get the facts then post again.
whats right is right,if they didnt like it then thats up to them,i didnt complain,i condoned what i did even though they didnt accept so i didnt complain,i deleted.
its not that guys fault i think his cabs look cheap,if he dont like it then he will have to deal with that,i aint telling him what to do,so theres a big difference.
i dont want to keep posting here so he can get back on track.
thats what happens when you say it looks like plastic moulded and someone gos and tells you what you already know and already posted about.

very cool. living in america, i had never seen a candy cabinet until i found this forum...they are pretty cool looking. They don't have that classic arcade feel to them for me anyway, since we just don't have them here, but they are definitely cool. good job. i love the blue paintjob
and to saleem:
i understand that you are bitter because people came down on you harshly for raping that space invaders cabinet...(and rightfully so). but still, bashing someone's plastic candy cabinet because it looks like plastic is pretty ridiculous.
Yvan256:
Indeed it all depends on what you personally think as an "arcade cabinet". I had never heard of candy cabs either, so to me it doesn't look "authentic" even though such things do exist.
I could say the same thing about the non-american Neo-Geo MVS cabinets. If it's not tall with red sides and a red control panel with white stripes, it doesn't look legit to me. That doesn't mean the other MVS cabinets never existed, but to me they don't seem like real cabs.
So for someone who has always only seen candy cabs in arcades, such a FOBT conversion cabinet would not only look "real" and legit but would be a really tempting item to purchase.
You can't debate such things, that's like arguing about wether a truck is better than a car. It depends on who you ask.
CandyCabs:
OK, I don't really want to get into a debate about whether or not CandyCabs are "real" arcade machines or not! I'm sure that's been covered 100 times already on this forum. At the end of the day it all comes down to personal taste. I have converted a large number of FOBTs for very happy customers over the years - but i've also done a lot of wooden cabs too.
The original purpose of this thread was to show people how the conversion is done - as I get so many questions on that subject. I chose a generic demo cabinet (not one ordered by a customer) to do that. If you don't want to know about it - simple - just click away and move on. There really is no need to get nasty. :angel:
Just for Saleem though - as he seems to have some kind of wood fetish - here's a picture (work in progress) of a recent Golden Tee conversion I did in the style of NeonCade.
If I don't get too many "Golf haters" I'll post up the build process on that one too.

I'm hesitant to post this because I don't want to insult someones work, but I can see the spray lines and spots of white that weren't covered in both the front and the side pics.
To say you like the color is one thing, but to say its better than 99% of the paint jobs you've seen on the forum? Are we looking at the same pics?
