The Bar Top Trio + Donkey Kong Junior MAME+MaLa project w/ video
mike boss:
So here is the status :
Bar Top One (The Keeper) w/DK JR side art : wired and working, however having monitor issues. The monitor does not allow for screen adjustments (size). The auto focus still leaves the sides of the game cut off. Purchased it from a local seller who buys and sells off lease PC's. He agreed to switch it, but had nothing in stock.
So I've removed the monitor to return to him. But once I get the monitor it's a quick install.
Bar Top Two (For Sale) w/ DK 3 side art & orange paint job : wired and working, and up for sale. Just completed it two days ago. Installed the monitor and cleaned up all the wiring. Working and playing great. Really happy with the outcome. Listed locally @ $550 hoping to move it fast.
Bar Top Three (For Sale) w/ DK side art & yellow paint job : all wired and just waiting for a monitor. Hoping to exchange my old monitor soon and pick up another for this. Once complete I'll get this listed for sale.
Glad to have these done, I learned a ton doing this project. Was the first time I ever scratch wired a cabinet. Really happy with the outcome. I was never in a rush (obvious to anyone who seen the blog) nor was I hard up for the money. Perhaps if I was they would have been done faster, but none the less they are done.
I'll post some pics later.

Keep meaning to post pics & video.
I had a little set back with one of the monitors (15" LCD) cutting off a portion of my image.
The "auto" feature would not properly calibrate. I had to replace the monitor, which I did....
however it's in a larger case. Looks like I'll need to cut down the monitor casing.
Bartop one is fully done and locally up for sale on Kijiji.
Bartop two is just waiting for another LCD monitor, but is good to go once installed.
My keeper bartop, bartop 3 is the one that requires the monitor casing to be trimmed down.
I love these lil machines. The sideart was well worth it. They look and play great.
I'm really happy with it, and I'll be sorta sad to see em go.
Over and above these I'm doing my DK JR project.
Here is the video, its just about done :

Looks great. I would like it more with white t-molding.
mike boss:
Picked up a Popeye marquee (temporary solution) today.
T-molding I'm getting when a buddy goes to the states.
Cost too much to ship to Canada, not worth it for a $7-10 part.
