Hardware:
Fits a Horizontal 17" 4:3 LCD monitor nicely. Can fit a Horizontal 19" 4:3 LCD, but it's tight. 17" is the recommended size.
With a 17" monitor, a microATX motherboard, ATX power supply, and standard 3.5" hard drive fit.
Control and Admin Panels:
Comes in 2 options, drilled or undrilled.
Drilled has a standard 6 button Street Fighter layout, with 2 buttons for start and coin. Admin panel has 3 buttons drilled. Hole sizes are 1.15" diameter and will fit Happ buttons.
If you want a different layout, order the undrilled. I have found that a 2 player 6-button layout MAY fit, but would be very cramped. 2 player 4-button is less so.
Control panel dimensions are: 17.72" X 6.19"
Monitor mount panel:
Drilled for both 75 X 75 and 100 X 100 VESA mounts
Speaker Panel:
Drilled holes for 2 speakers, hole pattern is 3.79" in diameter.
Overall Dimensions:
Height: 21.43"
Depth: 18.6"
Width: 18.72"
Weight:
Melamine kit only: ~21 lbs

Lay out one side flat, pocket cuts up:
(http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=103207.0;attach=279491;image)
Fill each of the five 1/4" deep pockets with a liberal amount of wood glue. Don't be stingy. Insert each of the tabbed panels into the deep pockets:
(http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=103207.0;attach=279493;image)
Place the other side on top (with NO glue yet), aligning the tabs into the slots:
(http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=103207.0;attach=279495;image)
Place a heavy weight on top, wipe up the excess glue with a damp paper towel. Wait for an hour or so.
After the hour or so has passed, take the weight off the cabinet, and carefully remove the unglued side. Place the unglued side down, fill the five 1/4" pockets with a liberal amount of glue, and carefully guide the tabs into place. Again, set a weight on the assembled cabinet, wipe up the excess glue with a wet paper towel, and leave for ~24 hours in a warm place.
Couple of other views:

(http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=103207.0;attach=279602;image)
Once completed and dry, lay the bartop face down (marquee & control panel area closest to the ground).
Once down, place the plexiglass inside, one side will rest on the back of the speaker panel, the other side will rest on the batons for the control panel.
Attach the monitor to the VESA mount panel using M4-.07 machine screws (25mm length). Place the monitor & panel inside the bartop resting on the plexiglass. Adjust the placement so the monitor is visible. Use the included angle brackets to attach the panel to the inside of the cabinet.
* NOTE : The included screws with the brackets are a little too long and will poke out of the cabinet if you use them as is. You either need shorter screws or use some spacers (like washers).
(http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=130522.0;attach=292317;image)
Usually the monitor is enough to hold the bezel plexiglass in place.
For the marquee plexiglass, you can find aliminum L channel at Home depot, cut to size, and paint. There are also places online that stock black plastic L channel. You will need a piece for top and bottom.

Seems like a real good price.
Thanks. I had to hunt around for a CNC service that were reasonable, the first two I contacted wanted between $200 & $250. That almost killed the project dead in the water. Glad I kept looking, though.

What size screen do you plan to accommodate?
Vertical or Horizontal?
Any Custom options (control panel, larger screens, etc.)?
Post by: 404 on February 18, 2013, 10:55:44 pm
are custom sizes available or would they be just one size?
how wide, high, deep are they?
what kind of screen range would you have with this kit?
what kind of board options would it support? itx, matx, atx etc
what kind of buttons would it support
single player or two player?

Yeah, my CNC guy is fine with smaller runs, too. As long as he doesn't close up shop (which it doesn't look like he will, he's always busy), I should still be doing this.
Post by: jammin0 on February 22, 2013, 03:37:26 pm
I can't wait to see people start making these. I might have to order one or two when I sell something to generate some cash. Love the finish.
Post by: HaRuMaN on February 22, 2013, 03:53:34 pm
These look sweet. So . . . batons on the CP, and have you done the VESA mount yet? I'm assuming you would screw in batons and then glue to that?
I can't wait to see people start making these. I might have to order one or two when I sell something to generate some cash. Love the finish.
There are fatter batons for the monitor mount. It's up to the user on where to mount it (due to varying monitor sizes, etc). I forgot to show the batons in the first set of pics, I'll through them up later.

Width wise it fits, barely. 17.72" available. Height, you could may get away with it, you may have to shorten up the CP a bit...
Depth might work. At the edge, you have 1.5" between the speaker panel and the baton for back piece...
Decasing might help, too.

I'm using 1/2" for these kits, as far as I know, the melamine coated particle board is the only material available in the side.
The CNC cuts are razor sharp, though.

yes I may be in the market for a kit. you can customize the controls tho? not a fan of 8 buttons setup. its too cluttered and generally is useless. 6 button is good enough. I will send you a note if/when I am ready to place an order and discuss further business :burgerking:
Sure can. :cheers:
8 buttons dropped in favor of 6 buttons:

Pretty tight on those plans, not so bad if he is laser cutting, but routing even with a 1/8" bit is going to be tough without a vacuum bed. There is little to no room for tabs to hold parts in place. That said if he's got a vac bed no problem ;)

He has a 3-phase power CNC rig with a 18HP vacuum bed. It's quite impressive.

Taking a look at that, I believe it will.

Post by: HaRuMaN on March 27, 2013, 02:17:17 pm
Where you guys getting your 1/2" t-molding from? T-molding.com has two colors available ...white and black. Are there are other sources available for different colors??
Also...is the cost of the 2 player the same as the one player?? $140
As far as I have found, there is only white or black in 1/2" T-molding. It may be possible to dye the white using something like RIT dye, I may try to experiment with this at some point.
The wider, 2 player bartop (optimized for a widescreen LCD) base price is $155, slot cutting is $10 extra, and I don't have any polycarbonate available for it.

What's the widest that you can make it? I was reviewing the dimensions and did it change much when it was changed to accommodate the asus monitor. The layout seems like it should have enough room to give one or two more inches. Just thinking of more shoulder room for two player games.
thanks

It went from 17.74" to 22", really not enough room on a sheet to get much more.

Got mine today! Packed VERY well too, seriously impressed :). I started putting it together and can't wait to play around with it! Sadly, my CGA monitor that came in last week or the week before was DOA and had to be sent in for warranty replacement and I don't know when I'm getting it :(. I plan on using mine as a jamma test bench as well as playing games on it.

Still working on the plans for the vertical. I was planning on 19" being the default size, with a 20.1" being a tight squeeze. Gonna try to have them drawn up by Monday.

I am looking at a new VW246H as I type, will it fit the same as the VH236H? think I am a inch bigger but monitors are weird like that and may be the exact same.
or do you have dimentions for the 2player setup? if this will fit I wll do the 2 player instead of the original just becuase I have this monitor here that may fit perfect already.
22-1/2" X 13-1/2" X 3"-4" depth

now sure how it would look in there with no screen bezel and the display butted right up on the sides of the cab though.
Post by: HaRuMaN on April 26, 2013, 03:43:01 pm
it is actually 22-1/4" if the screen overlay is all one peice it could probaby be decased and clear the 1/8" on each side as the plastic itself is probably close to that alone.
now sure how it would look in there with no screen bezel and the display butted right up on the sides of the cab though.
Check out Malenko's build using my kit and a 20" 4:3, edge to edge in there:

is there any cheap 17" squared lcd monitors with high res?
call me silly but I dont even know what the 4:3 / 16:9 difference is I know my res's and p/i's though lol.
cab does look good though Malenko and the work looks good too HaRuMaN

Post by: northerngames on April 28, 2013, 06:40:29 pm
even when I bought this I wanted a 4:3 but went with this vw246H 16:9 and it is great as a pc monitor and hd gaming with 2ms but the classic's look too weird for me on it.
I think a 4:3 with the slg will give me the look I am after though and should be perfect size at 17"
going from the nanao in true 15k to a 16:9 hd just aint the same for me after seeing the two and being use to playing them all native as opposed to now.

It's not if you don't have the time, tools, or technical know-how. And shipped? No one who's bought one is complaining.
Exactly!! I'm not the best with wood tools nor do I have the right tools on hand. Buying wood and all the tools would of cost way more. Plus I would of messed it up or it would of came out crappy. I think the price is perfect. I am very happy with my purchase, cant wait to post some build pics.
Post by: Malenko on April 29, 2013, 09:20:14 am
isn't $140 a bit much just for wood?
Its cost versus worth. For me, I dont have the tools or the time so 140 is a bargain for me. If you have access to the tools and the lumber then you wouldn't be in the market for kit anyway. The 2.0 kits are pretty amazing mang. And for comparison's sake, there is another guy selling flatpacked bartops for $150 , so its pretty consistent pricing across the board (PUN!)
Post by: candre23 on April 29, 2013, 09:25:51 am
isn't $140 a bit much just for wood?
You're not just paying for wood, you're paying for pre-cut, pre-laminated wood. If you don't already have woodworking equipment or space to do the cutting, this is a fantastic value. This is half the price of mameroom's flat-pack bartop kit.
OP: I want to order one but I cannot send PMs (probably because I just registered). Your flair says you're a mod, can you fix this?

I sent you an email with my order request. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
Have you considered a pedestal kit to turn this into a full-size cab? Four holes in the bottom of the bartop and top of the pedestal plus four sets of bolts/washers/wingnuts would tie everything together nicely, and it would still be easy to break down for transportation.

Thanks, invoice sent.
And that's not a bad idea. I'll see what I can come up with. Probably make a "universal" one, so it could go with the standard or the wide bartop. I'll probably work on plans for that after I finish the vertical cabinet plans.

Do you (or anybody else) have any pics of the 2-player version assembled? What kind of room do we have to work with for the PC? Will a microATX board and standard PSU fit, or do we have to get a nanoITX board and external PSU? Is there enough room vertically for a full-height video card? Is there room to drill in another pair of button holes (2 rows of 4 total) for both players? Do you happen to know where I stuck the box of arcade controls I bought 12 years ago?

I build one of the v1 machines using a standard size ATX motherboard, regular hard drive, and full size PSU. It's certainly doable.

I took the lid of the PSU to make it fit under the controls. This is the 1 player cab (V1.0) so I'm sure there's a lot more room in the 2p version.

Can anyone offer any tips for getting the monitor mounted and angled correctly? So far my only plan is to hold the monitor in the opening and eyeball the angle to mark the mount position the best I can. I've been holding off mounting the monitor because I know I'll end up with half a dozen unused holes before I get it right.
Mount the monitor to the VESA mount board, place cabinet on side, put monitor + mount inside.
I used blue painters tape to mark where the mount should go. Took the monitor off the mount, placed the mount back inside (no monitor), drilled and installed screws. :cheers:

I am going to order another as a spare.
the vga box's are sickening on ebay anymore.
after playing it like that there's no going back to anything else for me, alot of the games even look better then ps2 and xbox games to me.
there is also ways to force most into vga off a disk even if there were not intented too and still look perfect.

I think it would be a great idea for those that have very limited space but still want the arcade experience.
I for one would buy this!! Its an excellent design by Degenatrons of the KADE Team, and I think he would be open to others using it, but I want to ask for his consent first. If he allows this to be used, would you do it? Any one else interested?
Once again, thank you

Howdy! First time poster here. I ran into this forum by following a link in the KADE forum. And I got to say, thank you for making this kit available to us. It looks great! Im wondering if you could make a kit of this stand alone bar-stick:

Can't find my box of old controls, so it looks like I'll be ordering new ones. Does anybody know if there is enough room between the joystick hole and the button holes on the 2P cab to fit an ultimarc E-stick?
There is 3 and 1/16" between the center of the joystick hole and centerline of the first buttons.

Hey, these plans are open and I'm cool for you to make use of them and improve them as you see fit. Great if you can contribute to make it better and to move the project forward. Idea is to have the barstick thing compatible with the weecade bartop so the control panel and marquee can be easily interchanged and reused on a portable unit.

I've been looking at options to play with vertical games. I already have a full-size Blast City cabinet for horizontal games, but I'd like to have a true four-way joystick with a vertical monitor for games like Donkey Kong and Pac Man. I have a Dell 1905 FP that I'd like to put in vertically with a scanline generator. :)

1/2" T-molding, 20 ft. :cheers:
Unfortunately only comes in black or white at that size, but I've been thinking about picking up some white and attempting to dye it using RIT dye.
Post by: candre23 on May 02, 2013, 03:44:16 pm
It's very flexible and durable, so it will not flake off like most paint when you bend the molding. I've used it for painting RC car bodies, and it's great.

Should be. That majority goes on the sides, and those shapes haven't changed.

I do think it could look better and control panel seems too close to the monitor, but I like the idea!
@ Ginsu Victim- Im new to this forum and I did not want to insult the original creator (in case he's a member here ;) ). But I have to agree with you, hence "it could look better." I just really liked the idea of a rotating monitor, so I posted.

105-667 comes in multiple colors, but they say 250 ft roll in one spot, but make it look like it can be ordered by the foot on the order page...
if it's a 250 ft minimum, any group of 10 people want to split a roll of red with me? :laugh:

EDIT: Ordered it anyway. $135 shipped was too good a deal not to take a bit of a gamble. Lets hope it fits.

if you were considering them and if it were me I would rather have a stand where the stand is larger at the base where the bartop itself would fit into the stand.
that way the whole thing just looks like a desk when not in use, maybe throw granny's fancy doyley over it etc. :laugh2:
it would keep it put away looks clean dust free and could be locked with a tumbler lock and key perhaps too.
Post by: yotsuya on May 04, 2013, 06:49:38 pm
I know it was mention prior and I wanted to see what these would kinda look like on a stand and checked ebay and they had some stands that made them look more like a full size.

I :dunno, if you're going to do all that, why not just build a full-size game???
Post by: northerngames on May 04, 2013, 08:09:55 pm
me I can't tell ya what others were thinking but perhaps maybe they dont have the room for a full size cab or cabs but it dont seem like a bad optional piece to those that do want them as it was mentioned prior already.
asking that is kinda like the bartop itself and the same silly question would apply.. why that over a full cab then?
but now onto me personally I already have a full 26" nanao cab and a 39" showcase and I now want a bartop becuase either of them will fit in my pc/lab/mancave.
but I would think if it were me and they were available instead of the bartop hoggin a shelf or pc desk it is now in the corner inside the base with a monitor or shelf on top of it so no space is lost now becuase I can put something on it if it were me though.
a slide out keyboard drawer would not hurt the looks for it all either and give it more of a desk look.
sure the showcase would fit but is also would be like parking the truck in the living room.
another good example is if you only own a car it's a ---smurfette--- driving down the road with it on the roof :cheers:
another example have you ever tackled and tugged a full size cab up your 2 flights of apartment stairs at 56 years old all by yourself without a scratch to either?
just a couple reasons why some may want one off the top of my head for ya.
in the end it comes down to prefference of the end user friend and there is already a market for them apperently.

I'm still trying to figure out how I am going to do my CP to. Maybe instead of gluing in the bottom have both pieces one piece with a hinge at the bottom?
I was looking at hinges at Home Depot that allow a overlay but it seemed like you would need to dig into the sides to much, plus the mounting area look big and may get in the way.

I use industrial Velcro to attach my control panel top to the batons. You could drill 2 holes on each side and use a joystick nut and bolt as well.

A quick sketch to help explain what I'm talking about:
(http://i.imgur.com/WkzmObb.jpg)
This makes for a sturdy fix with no visible screws.
The small semicircular cutouts can then be used to plug the holes on the underside if required.
Consider updating the CNC plans to include the access holes in the bottom panel.

A simple way to make the control panel removable is to make access holes in the bottom panel and secure control panel from the underside.

I would like to modify them a bit (if you don't mind) to fit a 20.1" 4:3 Dell 2001FP while retaining the 2 person control layout, and I'm afraid the 1 person design is just a bit too small for that sort of application.

What kind of solutions is everyone coming up with to secure the plexiglass and the marquee?
Screen plexi for me is held in with friction, bottom rests against the top of the control panel, the top is between the screen and the speaker panel. Marquee I use aluminum L brackets from Home Depot. a 36" piece is like 3 bucks. cut it into 2 17.75" pieces, drill holes for screws and mount. I also painted them gun metal grey.
This is a version 1.0 kit (with batons and no melamine):
(http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=103207.0;attach=281951;image)
I did the same technique to put plexi over the control panel. But for this monitor, since its a touch screen, the plexi is lag bolted into the LCD bezel.

Perhaps HaRuMaN can chime in, but it looks like as long as the circled edges are lengthened a few inches (along with the curve) it should be able to accommodate a 20 inch 4:3 screen. This would also allow for a bezel rather than running right up to the edge, no offense Malenko. The next issue is fitting as much onto a sheet of melamine, but at the bare minimum it should be possible to fit 3 total cabinets onto 2 sheets. Would anyone else be interested in this size if it was an option?

Why would I be offended, lol
What I did works best for her touchscreen based machine, and by best I mean it works and wasnt a pain. I did the same thing with my dreamcast based machine to fit the 20" monitor I put in there. The plans are community based, so anyone who wants to improve on it could and should.
The next change I was going to discuss with Haruman was adding a bottom panel to the back and making the back door smaller (similar to the top part of the V2 backdoor) so you can run power wires or USB ports and not have them be part of the door.

How do you guys smooth out the edges? From the default cabinet, it looks like the edges are not smooth and looked exposed. I saw the above picture from Malenko's cabinet that it has nice black smooth edges.
The edges are covered with T-molding or other pieces of the cabinet that are covered with the Melamine so that the exposed edges shown in the default cabinet are not shown when assembled. IF not using T-molding you could also buy strips of black Melamine edging which is backed with glue so it can be added to the edges and then trimmed to make a clean edge. For Example This ( http://www.amazon.com/home-improvement/dp/B00315PNAI (http://www.amazon.com/home-improvement/dp/B00315PNAI) ) which has 25 feet of 7\8" edging for about $8.

So its a modified 2 player weedcade that fits a 20.1" 4:3 Dell 2001FP screen? I might be interested :)
That's my goal at least. I'd like to implement a few changes to the 2P design:
1: Increase height to allow for 20.1" 4:3, while leaving the width the same to keep the 2P setup. A 20.1" screen would have a ~3" bezel, a 19" would have a ~3.5" bezel
2: Ideally the height would be added using Malenko's idea of a bottom panel in the back of the cabinet, so any wiring would not need to go through the door
3: Add a piano hinge between the 2 back panels, possibly with an arcade cabinet style lock at the top to hold the door shut?
4: Implement degenatrons' method of attaching the CP using holes in the underside of the cabinet, and screwing into tee nuts in the bottom of the CP.
5: Retain the current 2P footprint so that this taller "not-so-weecade" is compatible with any pedestal that is designed for the 2P "weeweecade"

I am new at this arcade building thing and I have been reading up (and watching youtube videos) on how to build an arcade machine. The hardest part for me is the wiring the buttons. Is there anyway that you can sell the cabinet with preinstalled buttons on the panel which is hooked up with an ipac (etc...) so that all I have to do is build a computer with working hyperspin/games and all I have to do is just plug in and play?

IF you use an Ipac or similar encoder the wiring is actually very simple -- Just a matter of running a daisy chain wire with connectors for each button switch to the ground connector of each button and then to the ground connection on the Ipac - and then one wire each to the NO (normally Open) connection on the switch and back to the correct connector on the IPAC (ie. Up switch on 1P joystick to 1 Player Up connection on the Ipac) Just take your time and run one wire at a time and you wont have any problems with doing it. On the button switches there are 3 connection points - 1 for the ground - 1 NO and 1 NC - you connect only 2 of them ( The Ground and the NO) If you hook it up to the NC and ground instead of NO the button will always be sending a pressed signal except when you press the button which is not want you want so do not use that connector (it is labelled on the switch).
It really is a lot easier than you think because there are so many connections that looking at a completed panel looks difficult but when wiring it one connection at a time it is actually fairly simple. If you can do the Computer setup you'lll have No Problem wiring the CP !
Post by: PTD on May 31, 2013, 11:05:22 pm

I have never wire the buttons before so that is why I thought it is difficult. I can build a top-of-the-line desktop computer completely from scratch in under 30 minutes so I guess I can give it a try.

Woodworking newb here. What's the best way to cut the wood for this? I tried drilling a hole big enough for a coping saw, but it was a bit slow going. I ended up going with a Dremel sanding wheel, and cut off too much on one side, so it doesn't look the greatest ... :badmood: :badmood:
Fortunately this was a piece of scrap I was practicing on.

In the original instructions there are two pieces of wood to glue to the vesa panel then mount, I can't tell if you still used these and they're on the other side of yours or not.

Did you not use the two other pieces of wood that was included for the vesa mount board?

No I didn't use them. Typically they form a U around the monitor, but the monitor I used was too big for that (20" 4:3 monitor) so instead of those 2 pieces of wood I used the metal corner braces.

Thanks again for the photos. Just a warning for anyone else using these brackets: the screws included are too long and when I mounted my monitor the screw tip came through the wall of the cabinet. So I recommend finding slightly shorter screws on your own and not using the ones included.

However, I don't know a solution to getting a border that would be flush with the monitor. Normally you have a plexiglass in front of the monitor to protect it but since it is a touch screen and I will be playing some games with touch screen capability (using Windows 8 with PC games), I don't think that putting a plexiglass in front of the monitor is ideal.
Any suggestions ?
I am talking about the wide screen 2-player version of this arcade.
I am looking at this monitor from Dell:

I hope that getting the Haswell CPU would have enough GPU power to not need a dedicated graphic card. If it is too weak to play PC games such as Street Fighter 4 PC game, then I will add in a low profile graphic card.
5. 8 GB of RAM
6. I will use Hyperspin as my front end.
----------
Other accessories such as joysticks, buttons, ect....for the control panel is still deciding on which one to get.
I want to build a bartop arcade that can use touch screen as well as play PC games such as Street Fighter 4 and Street Fighter vs Tekken, etc... without any problem.
So what do you guys think so far? What do you suggest for the buttons and joysticks?

First is the degenatron's designed barstick, modded to use the tab / slot construction method.
Second is my own creation, an MVS inspired design, single player, 4:3 monitor.

Barstick looks great!! Well done! I cant wait to see it built. how much for this kit? also, is there any way to add pinball flippers (one on each side)? And is it possible to have an option to switch from 2player to 1player+trackball control panels?
Thank you for the awesomeness!
Still waiting to hear back from my CNC guy on what the final cost per kit will be, then I can come up with a price. Box will be quite a bit smaller, and lighter, so that will help on shipping costs.
Right now I'm guessing it'll be under $100, by how much not quite sure yet.
I can add pinball holes, and can make a cp for 1 player with trackball.

The MVS should hold the same screen as the standard, so 17" or 19". A 20.1" should just make it, but it would be tight. Those are all 4:3's, btw.
The bar stick is just a standalone, so no monitor.

1. Which joystick is recommended for the control panel? I am considering the OMNI2 joystick at GroovyGameGear but RandyT said that it "will need 2.25" clearance below the bottom surface of the upper panel." Will this joystick fit the control panel. I want to get it with the SmoothJoy™ Switches installed. I like quiet joystick and buttons.
If the OMNI2 joystick cannot fit, what is your recommendation on a good joystick that is quiet. Price is not a concern.
2. Which buttons should I get? I prefer quiet and soft buttons. I don't need LED. I need buttons that would fit the 2-player bartop. Price is not a concern.
3. I have decided to get Ivy Bridge CPU/motherboard instead of Haswell. Would this power supply fit?
http://www.amazon.com/FSP-Certification-FSP400-60GHS-85--R/dp/B005CP07BA/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1371490124&sr=8-6&keywords=micro+atx+power+supply (http://www.amazon.com/FSP-Certification-FSP400-60GHS-85--R/dp/B005CP07BA/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1371490124&sr=8-6&keywords=micro+atx+power+supply)
4. I will have gamecube/wii/ps2/dreamcast emulators and PC games such as Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter vs Tekken, and other PC games in the Hyperspin front end so I need a powerful graphic card.
Will this fanless graphic card fit in the itx motherboard in this bartop cabinet ?

5. I plan to get this monitor:
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VS239H-P-23-Inch-Full-HD-Monitor/dp/B008DWITHI/ref=dp_ob_title_ce (http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VS239H-P-23-Inch-Full-HD-Monitor/dp/B008DWITHI/ref=dp_ob_title_ce)
Will it fit?
Thanks.
Post by: HaRuMaN on June 18, 2013, 11:41:54 am
The available width is 22", the specs say that monitor is 21.7" so you should be good.
That joystick should fit as well. At the midpoint, there is about 3.2" of clearance, gets wider as you go back, a little shallower as you come forward.
The other components will depend on your monitor and the space it takes up.

The MVS kit looks great! Is it also limited to 19" monitors or are the vertical dimensions any different?
Thanks!
19" would be the recommended size, but you should be able to squeeze a 20.1" 4:3 in there... I think...
I have a Dell 2001FP (20.1") I'll try to stick in there, see how it fits.

I don't know what program you're using to layout your cuts but having exact dimentions for the sides would be really helpful when creating artwork for the side of the cabinets.

These are based on the weecade. Cant you just use those CAD drawings for the template needed?
Even so, I don't have the CAD based on the weecade. I have the 2-player cabinet and also need the template to ask the graphic designer to do the graphics.
I have seen a lot of people as for this but so far we don't have the template/exact size,dimension for the 2-player version.

These are taken from his plan pictures he posted, inverted so its black lines on white, and scaled up. The lines are a little yucky, but that why you cover them with art.
Just a suggestion but you might want to change them to 300PPI instead of 72 --- figure if they are being used for artwork you'll want at least a 300PPI final image and some users may not realize they need to adjust it before drawing up the art for printing. Also if you want to clean up the holes if using a 300PPI image using a brush size of 338 pixels will place a 1-1\8" Diameter circle with a single mouse click where desired.

OK here you go (Note : don't have one to verify sizing is correct so if someone could test print and verify dimensions prior to using as a template - just to make sure it would be helpful for others !!:

Had a bit of time so went ahead and did the sides also in case others needed them -- Just need someone to print a test copy and verify the dimensions are correct (went by the 21.43 inchx18.6 measurements in the posted files and added a 1\2 inch border around the oputside - so they should be correct but would be best to get confirmation before using for sending out for final printing !! (IE> Use at your own risk as I do not have a panel to test the dimensions are correct so PLEASE print a test print to verify before investing $$ for printing art using them !!)

My 2 player admin panel is the other config. Inspired by degenatrons washers, I cut a piece of 1 1/4 pvc pipe to use as washers. Paradise arcade sells short barrel buttons that are 54mm instead of the 60mm standard ones. I don't think the 6mm would have solved the problem though.

Post by: rablack97 on June 28, 2013, 02:10:21 pm
Your gonna have to modify your plans to lengthen the height of the CP to push the Jstiks further up to accomodate those buttons, most folks use the standard long barrell buttons.
I started putting buttons on the sides.
I would think 80mm should be big enough to support any jstik and still give you room for your buttons.

As for the admin buttons, I used short barrels on mine, not sure where I got them from, they were in my parts bucket.
Ultimarc gold leaf buttons look short, but I don't have a measurement for those. Naturally, I can adjust plans a bit so this is less of a headache for future buyers.

I just had something similar to this done recently. The printed recommended a 3/4" bleed line and a 3/4 padding/cut line.
So what you would have is 3 shapes, 1 inside the original and 1 outside of the original....
Decent results.....

As far as other projects go, next is that Vewlix (full size) and then a mini-virtual pin. After that, I can look at other designs.
The acrylic one is pretty cool, but I currently have no way of bending that stuff.
A mini pin would be amazing, I have a setup right now that I just haven't gotten around to building a box for. 19" 4/3 back glass and 24" playfield. I really hope your design can accommodate a 24" playfield. It probably wouldn't be too hard as there should be more room to work with compared to a bar top mamecab.

How do you guys secure the power supply? Securing the power supply in the computer case is easy because of the screw holes of the computer case but I don't know a good way to secure the power supply.
i use l brackets, there are some wider ones from Home depot or lowes that have like 3 random holes so you can screw into the PSU and then into the actual machine....
these are coollll

L-brackets work well but I've also used Velcro strips.
PSU, AMP, and CP are all held by Velcro on mine. Works great and is awesome for if you need to remove or make changes.

Well I got my barstick in yesterday. I got it put together last night. Now I need to get the parts for it & the marquee. Then figure out something for a colored 1/2" t-mold. Might try to see if the dye takes to it or not. ;D I am kicking around of doing Kung Fu Master for this, one I love that old school game. I grew up playing it in the day. Plus the marquee is pretty cool. ;D My other thoughts are Rampage or Raiden, well see.

You can try automotive vinyl dyes on a white piece of t-molding. it's 1000x better than most of these paint cans that are supposedly made for plastic.
Popular brands are SEM, VHT, Plasticote, Color Bond and dupli-color.

I know SEM sells a variety of colors and sells them in bare bottles so they can be fed into HLPV guns. The bare bottles can also be mixed.
If it works, bet those guys looking for the elusive sky blue t molding for their Journey cabs would want to give it a shot ;D

It is great to see Degenatrons' barstick design in other folks hands. I'm curious what y'all think of the form factor of a screen less bartop with arcade elements like marquee and t-moulding.
galaxy SIII-cyanogen-tapatalk 4 beta
I like the form factor. Being able to use it on different tv's & monitors. The marquee part is what sold me. I already had a dual stick setup. Then seeing the barstick, I was like I want that. ;D So the shape of it, the marquee & put some small side art on it. It will look like a lil arcade machine. No screen of coarse. :cheers:
It will be a very nice setup once mine is finished. :cheers:
So +1 in my book for the barstick, I am digging it so far. I cant wait to get it done. Thanks to everybody involved in this project.

i have a question, why didn't you just go with 5/8 on the bartsick, so it doesnt limit folks to just 2 colors on t-molding...
On the barstick? I could check if my CNC guy could get it. Demand on the barstick has been fairly low, though...
I am ordering some white T-molding for my MVS build, I will be playing with the scraps to find a good method for dyeing or coloring.
The widescreen has been the best seller by far (which has surprised me, quite frankly).

Can you tell me what type of button controls people normally put in the 2 holes in the top right area of the top panel (not the joystick and the 6 action buttons) and the 3 holes in the front of the panels?
Is it for "1 player", "2 player" for the top side and "pause", "coin", and "start" for the front side of the panel?
I am planning to use Hyperspin for the 1-player. I want to know how I will do the wiring for the ipac mini.

How do you hook it up so that you only use one cord to plug into the electrical outlet to power up the monitor and the computer?
The monitor has one electrical cord and the power supply has another power cord. I don't want to have 2 power cord coming out of the arcade bartop and have to plug in two cords.
How do you guys do the wiring?
I am new at building these things so please bare with me :-)

I went the easy way on my bartop and used a power strip inside the cabinet to plug in the monitor and PSU and have the cable from that run to the outside - That way you also have the surge protection offered by the power strip. (Note : not the cleanest application as I forgot to leave room for the PSU inside when scaling down from the original plans and wound up cutting a hole in the back for the PSU to gain the extra 1\2 inch of room needed to be able to put the back in place but worked out OK.
(http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc189/JDFanning_bucket/ROBOTRONFinished_zps8e16a848.jpg)
Others open the PSU case and solder the monitor wire straight into the PSU input so the one cord powers both - same can be done by using one of the adapters like in this pic and soldering both wires to it (which also allows the cord to be removed at the case.

Do you that one for both monitor and power supply since it has a total of 6 prongs ? (3 prongs for the monitor and 3 prongs for the power supply)
Also, how do you guys make the monitor and the power supply turn on at the same time? My monitor has a button for on/off so when I mount the monitor inside the bartop cabinet, how can it be turned on without pushing the on/off button of the monitor. The same goes for the power supply. I just want to push the power button outside the cabinet and both the monitor and the computer will turn on automatically at the same time.

I just want to push the power button outside the cabinet and both the monitor and the computer will turn on automatically at the same time.
I believe on those the 3 silver connectors are the ones used for the wiring (both monitor and PSU hook to the same 3 connectors ) the other brass ones are actually used to wire the LED light inside the switch (which could also be wired with the monitor and PSU wire - so you'd have 3 wires to each of the silver connectors.
As far as both turning on at the same time since you are wiring both directly to the switch it would turn on both when it is turned on -- Most monitors will turn on without pressing the button on the front if you did not press the button to turn it off (ie. if the monitor is turned on and you disconnect power or turn off the switch on a surge protector ar in this case the switch you are adding once power is restores (ie. you turn that added switch back on) the monitor will turn on -- There are some that require the button on the front of the monitor be pressed in which case you'd need to build with some way of accessing that button but the majority of monitors now do not require that and as long as the monitor was on when the power was turned off by another switch once it is turned back on the monitor will power up ( To test plug your monitor in - turn it on - unplg the cord from the wall outlet (do not turn off the monitor) - plug the cord back in and see if the monitor comes back on (if it does the monitor will be fine to use without needing to press the on button on the monitor - once it is pressed once it stays on and will come back on each time power is present until the button is turned off by pressing it)
For the computer you will want to run the 2 wires that go to the power on switch jumper on the MOBO to a momentary switch (you can use an arcade button like the green one I did shown in the pic posted of my bartop above) So the 2 wires that normally run from the MOBO to the front of the case to the power on button run to that green button just like any other button wire is connected (1 to negative 1 to NO)
By doing this once you plug the system into the wall power goes to that new on\off switch you installed -- If you turn the switch on power goes to the monitor (which powers on as long as the button on the front of the monitor was not pressed to turn it off) - then you press the Green button which turns on the computer (just like it would if you had the computer inside a case and pressed the on button) and the computer and monitor both come to life -- Then when finished you press the green button again (Be sure in windows you set the on\off button to "SHUT DOWN SYSTEM" in the power options so that it correctly shuts down windows rather than just shutting off power without shut down of the OS) - wait for the system to turn off and then turn of the power switch wich turns off the monitor and the remaining power to the system. Then when ready to play again you turn the power switch back on which turns on the monitor and press the green button to boot the system.

If they can make many computer cases out of aluminum, they can certainly create many styles of bartop cabinet.
But then again.....arcade bartop is only a niche market and not many people are into it. That is why there is not a lot of demand for it.

Also, after building the kit this past weekend, there were several things I had to learn through trial and error that you should probably list in the first post. Namely, I had to take several trips to the hardware store to find the right screws to work with the VESA mount. I knew the standard VESA screw size is M4-.07, but had no idea on what length to get since it had to go through 1/2" of wood. I found that at least 25mm works (20mm wasn't long enough to reach the threads on my particular monitor). You might want to list that screw size in the first post to help others tackling this build.
Also, I didn't know ahead of time how the monitor plexi would fit in there, so the monitor I have has to mount in a way where it is all the way up against the back of the speaker panel. This prevents the plexi from sliding up between the monitor and the speaker panel. So now I need to cut it short to sit over the monitor. It would have been helpful to know how the plexi was supposed to go in this kit before I did all that.
Anyway, the kit was relatively easy to put together, but those small details would have been nice to know ahead of time.

Post by: HaRuMaN on August 02, 2013, 10:04:34 am
Do you have any pictures of the vertical version for 180 bucks? Is it full size vertical?
I'm looking for a cabinet that can hold a monitor 22 inches wide.
The vertical is a bartop that can hold a 17" 4:3 vertically.
I do have a widescreen bartop that can house up to a 23" widescreen LCD (it's also 2 players).

how much for the wide one? Also, how hard would it be to build a stand for it to make it like a full upright?

The wide one is $160 (or $170 with slot cutting). Polycarbonate (plexiglass) for the monitor area & marquee are an additional $40.
I have had requests for stands, but haven't had the chance to draw one up & get it prototyped yet, but it is going to be coming soon.

Can you also appox the cost of the base?
Also, for the wide, what are the dimensions for the control panel?

Couple of weeks? Cost will depend on the cnc shop and shooting costs, so I'll let you know.
The wide control panel is 22" wide, I will check the depth

Sneak peek of what's coming up...I'd rotate that control panel side vertical like the other 3 just incase you ever plan on cutting this thing out with a woodgrain finish like prefinished plywood.

Ack. You're absolutely right. This is gonna get cut from a woodgrain melamine, and that panel would not look right. Good catch.

Since I have my own CNC router I'm planning on converting the plans to 12mm panels instead of 1/2" (12.7mm) so I can route them myself.
However I've got a question about the plexiglass bezel:
I can't find details on the size and how this is positioned inside the cabinet so I was wondering if the way I interpreted it in this drawing is correct?

Thanks a lot for your quick answers. I've already started converting the file, also adjusting the basic shape a tiny little bit so a few of the angles are a little bit more logical (in my opinion that is).
Wil post it here when done of course!

As a norwegian, the source for 1/2" materials (imperal measurements) is none existing.
Would be cool if you where to share these when done!

A -PROPER- Atari cabaret kit would be incredible! I have one that's getting dismantled anyway (centipede, water damage), so I can provide any measurements if needed. Was just going to re-cut the sides, but I'd pay to be a guinea pig for this. I eventually wanted to make a Major Havok cabaret ("eventually" meaning maybe by 2015, ha!), which would require some tweaking to make it a horizontal Atari cabaret. Oh the possibilities, make this happen HaRuMaN!
Speaking of kit ideas, looks to me the bar-top style you're missing is a mini-Nintendo. ;) Thinking a good alternative for some Fix-it-Felix clones, so more old uprights can stay original. Been itching to make one for my 3 year old, but can't bring myself to mess with my DK Jr. And cheap Nintendo cabs are nonexistent in the south east. Now a kit like that could be a big seller.
No need to thank me, just send me a prototype for testing. :lol

I /could/ ship to Canada, but it gets pretty pricey. I shipped just a regular bartop to Canada, and it cost $80. :o
Hey Nitz, I approached Haruman directly and asked him if he would mind if I could jump in to assist. He said it was ok, so I'll be direct and brief. I will be throwing my hat in the ring to produce bartop and full-size cabinets for the Canadian market shortly, and would be interested in producing the cabinet shell you're looking for, if you are interested.
I do continue to support Haruman's great work, and want to let everybody know that I am not attempting to steal away any of his customers. Everyone who has purchased from Haruman in the past knows that his products, pricing and service are top-notch, and without equal. My only aim is to help open the arcade gaming hardware market a bit more in Canada.
Now that I've sidetracked the thread significantly, and definitely more than I originally intended, I'll go open my own thread and stop hijacking Haruman's. (A big, BIG thank you to Haruman for understanding, and giving me the opportunity to post this message.)

You know, shipping/customs charges is the main thing that has held me back from getting a kit up until now. I'd finally given up on there ever being a Canadian supplier of this stuff, so decided to just bite the bullet and pay up - but of course if a Canadian source for these is becoming a reality, that would be better for me.
Good on you Rick for asking Haruman's permission before posting that, and good on you Haruman for allowing him to post it. You're both upstanding guys. :cheers:
I'll leave this discussion now and pick it up with Rick.

In working with Nitz, I've come across this Sketchup, which seems close to the original specs (http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=d63d68d9310a036b10145cc1b33dac39 (http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=d63d68d9310a036b10145cc1b33dac39)) and this page (http://ggdb.com/GameByName.aspx?c=Coin-Op&s=Arcade&vid=503 (http://ggdb.com/GameByName.aspx?c=Coin-Op&s=Arcade&vid=503)) which details the height, width and depth requirements. I've opened the Sketchup, and it seems to match, but the actual measurements would be very helpful to me as well!

Unfortunately I saw this after I left work where I have the cab in storage. There may be slight variations of the Centipede and Tempest cabarets, since the vector monitor needed more venting. Otherwise the sketch-up model looks really spot on... for the exterior. Unless my version doesn't fully support that model, looks like nothing inside except coin mech details.
I'll check this out tomorrow morning and start to compile some measurements for comparison. PM me if you want any photos e-mailed directly.
Post by: floriske.nl on August 13, 2013, 04:29:02 am
First because after finishing it I figured I should do some stuff different.
In the original design because of the router bit radius panels won't automatically align and might shift a little when placed in the slot. So I added notches in the center of each slot for this.
But just figured it will be a lot easier to use dog- or T-bone fillets instead. :banghead:
So, back to the drawing board ;)
EDIT:
HaRuMan, can you tell me if you use any "clearance" in the pockets for the glue/a less tight fit? (hope this makes sense)
e.g. the tab on a panel is 1/4" and the pocket for that tab is a little bit deeper than 1/4"
Post by: HaRuMaN on August 13, 2013, 10:23:39 am
However, the width of the pockets is cut at 0.51" while the material itself is 0.50"
My CNC guy has a VERY precise machine with tolerances in the thousandths of an inch, so I am able to get very tight cuts on mine. Granted, his machine runs around $80,000, so I guess it had better be great! ;D
Post by: floriske.nl on August 13, 2013, 01:16:01 pm
My machine theoretically has a 0.003125mm accuracy, even if the deviation would be x10 (which I find hard to believe) it still should be enough as well.

Now I just had a makeshift back door with no details on mine. So far looking at others online that 19" x 37.5" panel has no details that I can see.
I also see now taking apart the model there appears to be no top or front details. I'll start getting those together. I may just start taking this thing apart if need be.
Post by: HaRuMaN on August 13, 2013, 04:53:43 pm
Now, do you care if this is 1/2" or 3/4"? I can do either... but 1/2" would be lighter & cheaper to ship.
Post by: TKW4rr10r on August 13, 2013, 05:25:46 pm
Thanks for those. Good starting numbers....
Now, do you care if this is 1/2" or 3/4"? I can do either... but 1/2" would be lighter & cheaper to ship.
I know I would prefer 3/4", only because that's the original construction. Any custom work (like that Major Havoc cabaret I'll get to someday) would be fine with 1/2". Now if it's a catastrophic increase in shipping I'll probably change my tune. ;)
Would the 3/4" also be black melamine? Not familiar with the stock you use, so is the melamine pre-applied before cutting, or after? Color choices? I know someone else mentioned having it shipped with the wood paneling on the side panels. I actually would prefer white since I'll be doing something similar to this:

I can do white / black / grey / and like 10 different woodgrain finishes. :cheers:
Awesomeness.
Would making just the the sides in 3/4", and everything else in 1/2" make an impact in your shipping? Thought that could be a good compromise - The cabinet still looks the same, and is lighter to ship and move once assembled.
I assume it all depends on how you can lay the parts on 4'x8' sheets, but something to consider.

Once I get drawing I can better answer that... Most likely this will take a couple of sheets anyway, and in your case, sides in white make sense, and maybe everything else in 1/2" black?

My machine ballscrews have a 5mm pitch and is set to use 1600 microsteps/rev which results in 320 microsteps/mm which results in 1:320 = 0.003125mmMy machine theoretically has a 0.003125mm accuracy, even if the deviation would be x10 (which I find hard to believe) it still should be enough as well.What kind of machine are you using that has tolerances down to a 1/10000"? just curious ???
As said this is "theoretically" because every machine has it's inaccuracy due to tool flexing etc.

As you can see in the pics, the front panel extends 1.25" up past the bottom of the control panel to accommodate the piano hinge inside. So total height of panel is 34.75"
The measurements where taken from the front since I haven't had the chance to dismantle this cabinet yet. The dimensions for the coin door overlap where taken into consideration, so the numbers I have are for the size of the whole to be cut, not the outer dimensions of the door itself.
These are preliminary, since I need to very the type of holes needed for the speaker and marquee. Didn't have the chance to see if these are solid holes or if they have a recessed edge.
Post by: floriske.nl on August 15, 2013, 09:51:59 am
Edit: Added a "Side cross section" to the file and updated it to "beta 1_2"
Edit 2: Made a dumb error with the joystick positioning calculations. My idea with the lowered admin buttons won't work due to this. Once again: Back to the drawing board :banghead:
Edit 3: Problem solved! I raised the base of the cabinet with 13.5mm and now the lowered admin buttons do clear the joysticks as intended. (see first sheet of new beta)
Edit 4: In order to fit Happ competition joysticks as well I raised it with another 6,5mm
I hope to be routing a first "test" version in the next couple of weeks (have some other stuff to route first).
Some things I "changed":
• Converted to 12mm material instead of 1/2"
• Converted to 3mm acryllic instead of 1/8"
• Converted the design to using T-bone fillets for the panel tabs and slots
• Adjusted panel angles to more logical numbers (30º, 45º, 5º, 12.5º etc.)
• Adjusted angle between CP and admin panel to 90º
• Enlarged the cp with a few mm so it overhangs the admin button panel
• Added the possibility for mounting/easy alignment of the cp with 6mm doves. Permanent screwing is still posible, added semicircular cutouts for this in the bottom panel (thanks for the tip degenatrons!)
• Added extra ventilation holes in the top back panel
• Added the posibility for mounting the marquee the same way used in my "evo XR cade"
• Added shallow slots in the sidepanels for the monitor bezel acryllic so it can be clamped in between (slots are 1.5mm deep, acryllic needs to be 452mm wide). By slightly bending the acryllic it can still be removed (e.g. in case a new monitor will be fitted). This is experimental but I hope it works.
• Raised the base of the cabinet with 20mm so lower placed admin buttons clear joysticks with a maximum base thickness of 42mm
• Added 6 button layouts + possible admin and pinball button positions.
• and some more stuff
Big thanks to degenatrons and HaRuMan!

Since I work with Adobe Illustrator instead of CAD software I created a PDF instead of a DXF. Illustrator DXF's are unreliable.
The files are based on my own machine with 60x93,5cm work area.
Big thanks to degenatrons and HaRuMan!

So I'm making good progress on the cabaret... Question is, how do you want to handle the monitor, and how do you want to handle the control panel?
I have more measurements, I just have to get back to the office where I have the cabaret (work is a little nuts atm). I can tell you already the top panel is just one piece with a taper cut on both ends. The holes for the speaker grill, marquee and coin door require rounded corners.
I'll provide detail pics and measurements for the monitor mounting board. took a lot of pics of the surrounding areas to showing how it all fits together. I have a control panel, but if you wanted to make something to give anyone else the option for a wooden one, I can take some measurements. I could probably trace a profile and scan/send it to you if that will help.
I know the holes for the coin door and speaker appear to be straight through. The marquee's original measurements are for a recess, with the full hole I'd say .25" smaller on all sides. I'm having a tough time removing the speaker grill and marquee if anyone knows the trick. The screws look like stripped torx or maybe deigned to be similar to rivets.

I received these images from a guy on Reddit, after I asked for some input.

For the side panels, the original sketch model had those spot on, you have to get all the arcs and curves right. Not knocking his measurements, but they can be off depending on where you measure in the arcs.
As far as the front is concerned, I explained the measurements in a previous post. The actual panel extends into the CP area and the holes for the speaker grill and marquee are a little more complex. I'll add some notes to add to the previous measurements and post some related photos in the AM. Did he mention which cab these came from?

I traced the sides directly from sketchup.
Post by: TKW4rr10r on August 19, 2013, 10:54:14 pm
Top panel:
- bevel cut on both ends, sits flush to back of cab
- 1.25" below top of side panels
- top face measures 19" W x 22.5" L
- same angle to bevel as top of side panels
To add to the previous post I made about the front panel:
- Speaker grill inner facing hole is 4"W x 7"H. Outer facing side is the 5"Wx8"H
- Marquee inner facing hole is 15.25"W x 3.25"H, outer facing side is 16.5"W x 4.5"H
- small radius corners on speaker grill and marquee
- Coin door remains 7.5" W x x20" H
- larger radius corners for coin door.
Monitor mounting board:
- Total size is 19" W x 23.5" H
- Inner cut out hole measures 15.5" W x 18.5" H
- Inner cut out centered, with 1.75" on either side and also from top of panel.
- Mounting holes for monitor are 5" from each side and 19.5" apart vertically
- Shape accommodates mounting strips from adjacent panels, and is mounted 9.5" back from front edge of top panel.
Bottom panel:
- My cabinet is a little water damaged here, but it seems to be 19"W x 27" L. Once all the other corresponding measurements are done your model should be able to verify.
I guess my next question is, will this be designed to assemble just like the original, with .75" x .75" strips to mount the panels, or with the same "pocket" design like the other projects here? Pocket design would make for a cleaner, less complicated build. But strength is a concern. Just curious.

This is a tempest cabaret, and I choose to show this for it's differences:
Please note the items circled in red. This piece is not in my cabinet and appears to never have been part of it's construction. I believe it to be the lighting mounting plate for the marquee, since the centipedes never had that as an option. Personally, I wouldn't need it, since I have better options for lighting than original, but maybe a single board for the option would not be a bad idea. would add strength to the cab, as well.
(http://i.imgur.com/uLv7WSN.jpg)(http://i.imgur.com/vJ5rrjC.jpg)
Here is what I heard about the tempest and other cabarets with vector tubes having additional venting for the heat they produce. That is the upper rear panel. My centipede is to the right. I think the standard kit should include the panel from the tempest cab instead.
PLEASE let me know if you need any further measurements. As far as construction, I would try for partially pocketed like your other designs, the top, monitor board, and anything else with the exception of front and back panels could be done this way, even some of the blocking strips could be pocketed for added strength. Hope these are helpful in completing your model.

It'll just be a piece of sheet metal, designed to fit over that opening, with a couple of holes as credit buttons, should be pretty cheap compared to a coin door.

Haruman, how about one of those red tent nintendo cabs, or some kind of viewlux made the same way? Any plans for some kind of racing cab?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
A racing cab? The only way I see a CNC kit for one of those if its styled like an early pole position or spy hunter sit down. A lot of parts would have to be sourced, through. And I'm guessing pretty pricey.
The red tents were all metal, not sure how a wooden one would work out. But the idea intrigues me. Maybe some kind of head-to-head bar-top setup? Maybe even just a stand option for those with one or two bar-tops already?

Can't wait to see the atari cabaret (you got all you needed?). One kit idea that comes to mind that I haven't seen anyone try is the old Nintendo cabaret, ala Donkey Kong:
(http://doc-00-8g-3dwarehouse.googleusercontent.com/3dwarehouse/secure/hhulr73hmmak89paul31eote4ben7ngk/g1kk0i21lsffjngms67ag6l9cdmjq3r8/1377540000000/lt/*/14c80796f521c80533276a8c0b1c862?ts=1319647092000&ctyp=other)

That other cabaret is pretty sweet, too.
Post by: TKW4rr10r on August 28, 2013, 06:19:13 am
I think I have all I need. About 90% done. What kind of material are you wanting to make this from?
That other cabaret is pretty sweet, too.
Would this be one sheet of material or two for the atari cab? I'd say the sides should still be 3/4", but you could make the internals, top, bottom, front, and back 1/2" if this requires two sheets and you want to keep cost/weight down. The "internals" sheet could be black and the "sides" sheet could be white.
I'm not sure how you'll have everything laid out on the material, but the finished look for a normal unit would just be the wood paneling on the sides, all other external surfaces black, with internal black or unfinished. If this all fits on one sheet, you could laminate each side differently (one black, one white or wood grain) and just lay them out so they'll still assemble to get the final look.
Man, it looks like I need to start repairing the boards for my centipede ;D
Post by: HaRuMaN on August 28, 2013, 11:35:07 am
I can do a white melamine, or black, or woodgrain... Or if you want something really nice I can do a Baltic birch plywood.

- Control panel bracket sides (2)
- Control panel back brace (1)
- Cardboard surround / bezel mounting strips (2)
- Monitor bracket backing braces (2) (these do not need to be the full length of the monitor bracket)
None of that needs to be slotted due to variations of what monitors people use.
(http://i.imgur.com/HXKESiE.jpg)(http://i.imgur.com/uIm0nrV.jpg)
I made some minor adjustments in the layout you had to make any needed space on the sheets (marked in yellow). Not sure how this works with the CNC, just making suggestions.
Also, didn't see in your graphic if any accommodation was made in the recessed cuts for the marquee or speaker grill.

Cool. I did miss the control panel area. I'll add that stuff in...
The marquee area and speaker area are drawn to those inside dimensions you gave me.
OK, the original has the straight through hole in the smaller dimensions, but require a recess of the larger dimension on the outside face to accommodate the glass and metal grill, I'd say 1/4 deep. Sorry for not making that clear before. I think I got both the inner and outer dimensions in the previous posts :
(http://i.imgur.com/wi6X07W.jpg)(http://i.imgur.com/FTAXupl.jpg)
Is this considered a customer commission? I'm wondering if you'd consider a partnership for Nitz' request? Maybe we figure what the design is worth to you, sell it to Nitz (or me) and have me carve it for Nitz, for Canadian distribution?
Maybe this belonged in a PM? Maybe I'm just being transparent. :D
I sure hope this isn't a one-off! I'd hate to see so much work going into something just for me. There should be other people in these forums looking for an Atari cabaret. At the very least I'll order another when I start my Major Havoc build.He's got a dedicated customer in me, until I -eventually- get my own workshop that is ;)

She's a beauty!
Just a question - have you considered rounding the two back corners? In looking at them, the top rear corner looks a bit sharp for my tastes, which led me to think if you did both, the t-molding could be 'joined' in the center of the bottom, and then you wouldn't have as many sharp corners.
Just my two cents.

Thanks degenatrons :D & thanks for the open source plans for it. :) I hope it will inspire others to make one. :) I really like the Barstick. ;DWell finally the Barstick is finished. :D

@Rick
Thanks also ;D
The rear top corner is a bit sharp. I had to snip a little of the inside track of the Tmold to get it to go on the rear corners. No biggie thou ;D

Did you recess the sticks a bit? Cause they look mights short.
I sometimes have to route a recess under the CP so the sticks sit up higher.
Regardless the assembly and completion was well done. :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

No, I did not recess the sticks. They are just shorties :D normally I just say that after getting out of a cold pool ;D ::) :laugh: :lol
I like the quick throws of them. To the top of the ball is 2" from panel.

So, until I find a good (read cheap) freight option, the Atari Cabaret will be local pickup only...They must have some serious weight to them. How much was the quote that you said, "umm I dont think so"?
I am sure somebody here knows a good freight option.

Well the issue is that anything over 150 pounds gets pushed into freight category (with FedEx) and that basically quadruples the price.
3/4" Black Melamine is pretty heavy, even heavier than 3/4 plywood. With 2 sheets of melamine, it'd be pretty close to the limit... plywood should be able to keep under the limit maybe.

I was thinking about this myself, for my pinball cabinets. If the price is prohibitive, try packaging the larger items separately, to bring the price down. Sure, you'll be almost doubling your regular shipping costs, and increasing the risk of lost/short shipments, but you should be able to get your packages in under the weight limit.

Hmm... that's a thought. Put the 2 sides together in a largish box, then the rest of the parts in smaller box #2. Each one would be well under 150 pounds.

Those particular control panels were cut from wood, and covered with black cabinet grade vinyl. Metal pacman control panels (11") will work as well.
The top is designed to fit a 20.1" LCD, a Dell 2001FP.

I'm curious how a 16:10 22" LCD would work in one of those, or is the width too much for the cabinet? It would be 22 1/8" width.
I'd be interested in figuring out how much thinner this would be decased. If it was, maybe it would be closer to the allowable space...

I would recommend something though, and extend the CP panel a bit to sit on top of the front panel, or reposition them. The nintendo cabs had that look and this way one could add the t-molding to match:

It's ready to be cut now, I have the estimate back from my CNC shop. For black melamine, it's going to be the same cost as the vertical ($190 shipped with slots cut). Another customer requested it made out of cabinet grade baltic birch plywood, that's going to be $230 shipped with slots cut.

I'm mostly just jibin' ya, man. BUT, when I looked to the Popeye bartop as well as the actual Nintendo cabs, I noticed there's an unused panel above the control panel... On my design, I made it like an inch and a half. It's purely cosmetic, so really, it's a "to each his own" kinda thing.
Your design looks GREAT. I wouldn't change a thing. (Personally, I like the way yours will support the monitor more vertically. I've noticed most of the true cabs - if not all of them - have a HUGE angle on the monitors.)

I gotcha. Yeah, I plan on the bezel coming down all the way to the control panel. As far as the monitor goes, I like more vertical, about 80 degrees, but with the way the kit is designed, and the room available, the angle can be adjusted to whatever the customer wants. :cheers:

Yeah that makes a lot more sense. The original drawings threw me off, don't know what I was seeing :dizzy:

I've read a lot of posts on the virtual pinball sites regarding the holes for the legs, saying it's much to difficult to drill after the cab is built. Beyond that, are you planning on having a hole for any DMD? (Yes, I realize it's just a preliminary sketch. I'm just spitballing.)
:D
Post by: macattack on October 02, 2013, 05:08:40 pm
Leg holes are better done ahead of time, i certainly cnc mine upfront.
Monitor location looks pretty low in the cab.
Button placement will likely interfere with monitor, flippers look a little high and forward.
Assume your going for a 2 screen setup.
There should also be a ledge at the front of the backbox.

Waiting to hear back from the customer on the DMD. And as far as the holes for the legs go, how are you planning on having them CNC'ed at a 45 degree angle, unless your CNC shop has a 4-axis setup?

I didn't. I have them cut through on both the front and back as well as the sides. The corresponding holes are just large enough for the commonly used bolts, and will work fine to "guide" the bolts through...

From what I've seen, the legs come with both covers and inside brackets, which help to square them up with the rest of the cabinet.

That's a 24" for both monitors, but I can easily adjust the top for a 19" 4:3 if needed.

Can you tell me how deep you cut the slots for the t-molding? And how you limit the cut depth of your slot cutter?
Since the pockets are 1/4" deep and prety close to the edge you might cut into them if you cut at the full depth of a "Standard" slot cutter.
Post by: Rick on October 08, 2013, 08:37:53 am
And how you limit the cut depth of your slot cutter?
I'm gonna go out and guess he's using a router table, like I do.
(http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/attachments/f12/22934d1301514926-table-saw-router-please-advise-router.jpg)
It has an open port for the blade, and adjustable back guards, which move forward and backwards, as well as side to side.
Post by: HaRuMaN on October 08, 2013, 09:18:15 am
The standard 1/16" slot cutter, out of the box, cuts the slots WAY too deep, like twice as deep as they need to be.
What I ended up doing was purchasing a larger bearing separately, and replacing the stock (smaller) bearing on the cutter. That way the depth of cut is always mechanically limited by the slot cutter itself.
Post by: macattack on October 08, 2013, 09:27:47 am
I do, but that is inadequate for limiting depth of cut, especially on curved / angled pieces.

That's great in theory, not so much in practice. With the bearing swap, I can slot cut a whole bartop kit in about 5 minutes. When I've got 8 bartop kits to slot, pack, and ship, reducing the slot cutting time is huge.

Because I wanted to route a kit this evening and couldn't get hold of a bearing that quick I ended up cutting an acrylic "press on" adapter ring for the bearing on my cnc router. That worked!
Also been looking into 12mm laminated particle board instead of blank MDF, but that's pretty expensive over here because it's not commonly used.
The kit I just finished is in mdf that has a white ground coat on it (no idea what it's called in English). At least that's s lot better than the normal blank version.

15 and 18mm in plain white or (black) woodgrain are quite common, but 12mm plain black isn't. Available in HPL instead of melamine mostly and that's triple the price of the pre coated MDF

Because I don't like marquees mounted with angled profiles (looks too plump) I came up with the following mounting method for the marquee on kits with T-Molding:
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72592758/bartop/thumbs/Marquee%20mounting_T-molding.jpg) (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72592758/bartop/Marquee%20mounting_T-molding.jpg)
If someone wants a kit without T-Molding I still use the method I also used for Evo XR Cade:
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72592758/bartop/thumbs/Marquee%20mounting%20sample_600px.jpg) (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72592758/bartop/Marquee%20mounting%20sample.jpg)
This method can't be used with T-molding because the t-molding slot would run into the top slot for the marquee, cutting of the edge. This could be prevented by mounting the marquee deeper into the cabinet, but think that would look awkward.

The t-molding method sounds promising, the only issue i forsee, is t-molding does not like to pulled in and out of its slot. Eventually with maintenance over time if you have to remove your marquee, that slot won't be as tight.

Think it depends on how far you spanning and the material thickness that was used, if you only spanning a couple of inches and the material is 1/2" or 3/4" then it usually offers enough support to hold it in place. That said sandwiches are nice ;)Am i missing something but dont you need 2 pieces of plexi for a marque, you have to sandwich the graphic, right.Exactly why Rick's Plexi Slots (TM) are 1/4".

look like your slots in the sidepanels? :dunno
If you are referring to the other picture instead: I'd hate to spoil that party as well since I've used that method on my Evo XR Cade a few months back as well, and it's also commonly used for placing modular wall panels <- that's where my inspiration came from.
But as mentioned: hate to spoil the party so :cheers:
Am i missing something but dont you need 2 pieces of plexi for a marque, you have to sandwich the graphic, right.Why would you need 2 panels? This is only needed if you use a print on normal paper for the marquee, but since there are a lot of signing companies out there which can simply print the artwork mirrored on clearview vinyl and laminate it with white after that so you get a "sticker" that you can adhese on the back of the plexi I see no need for that.
The t-molding method sounds promising, the only issue i forsee, is t-molding does not like to pulled in and out of its slot. Eventually with maintenance over time if you have to remove your marquee, that slot won't be as tight.
Pulling out the t-molding won't really be nescesary (that often) if you use LED strip for the lighting.

Whish we had it at that price would be a lot better than pre primed MDF (Thanks! :notworthy:) at $ 40 for s 8x4 sheet

$ 35,- for a 4x8 sheet of 1/2" laminated particle board? Whish we had it at that price would be a lot better than pre primed MDF (Thanks! :notworthy:) at $ 40 for s 8x4 sheet
I'm with you. It's $52 at our Home Depot for 5/8" melamine sheets, vs. $33 for MDF here in Canada.

Well, since Haruman isn't here to blow his own horn, here's a link (http://www.reddit.com/r/cade/comments/1o8gr8/my_first_home_made_arcade_machine/) to some "positive press" he's received on Reddit. Well done, my friend.

I honestly have no idea what hes even talking about. I came up with the pockets instead of tabs idea (and Haruman found a way to make it work), and the idea to ship the kits with pool noodles (which he upgraded my idea to pipe insulators) . I suggested the Galaga style vert kit, and some other things. I cant keep up with everyone who hates me anymore, its easier to keep track of the few who do like me =)
Don't take it too bad, most of that lot I had been doing for years with pins and bezels. Pipe insulating is better since it reduced shipping dimensions ;) those noodles are way to big. Lol.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Mortice. Or was that Mr. Tenon? ;)
And who hates you? I love you, man.

Tommy
ChadTower
KevSteele
Xooushe2
Ark Adder (sometimes)
404 (used to, I think)
MarkMVP (mostly because hes not good at comprehension in football threads)
and that's just on the forums!
As for the pockets, I'm not saying I invented the idea of the wood pocket, just that I was a factor in the pocket becoming implemented in Haruman's kits, same thing with the pool noodle. I suggested the pockets after receiving a version 1.0 kit (well 2 of them) and HATING the batons, and suggested the noodles when he told me he was having an issue with the melamine getting chipped in transit. I certainly didnt invent the Galaga cab, but I suggested to him to make a vert based on it. Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaake (is that the right amount of As?) suggested the widebody kit. Point is individually we are all pretty good, but as a community we are pretty great. Far too often on these boards there's an unhealthy competition or bickering over nothing. That doesnt apply to you completely, I mean you seem to be ok with sharing ideas with Lee but sometimes I dunno, its ---smurfing--- annoying to see all the jabs being taken by everyone on here, and yes, Im guilty of doing it too sometimes but Im working on it.
Kudos on the mortise and tenon joint reference that no ones gonna get :(
I digress. I come to these boards to have fun, see others creativity, get help, and show off my projects, not to argue over semantics.

I'm up in Ajax, Ontario myself. There's only one place locally that I know about, and that's The Playdium Store (https://www.theplaydiumstore.com/). It's pretty good - they've got about 20 pins and 10 multi-arcade machines... ...all on free play.

As a matter of fact, two Nintendo cabs (one baltic birch, the other white melamine) and the wall hanger were cut today, I'll be picking them up tomorrow.
This is one of my Midway verticals, this one will be going off to Malenko soon (after I get the art on it's Galaga twin and take pics of both together).

You're right. I was a bit cross-eyed looking at it, and didn't even notice it wasn't the Nintendo... ...too much staring at the screen at what I've named, "Haruman's Folly". Got one of these babies in your repertoire, anywhere?

I have space for one, but after getting used to the precision of my cnc guy, I think I would be disappointed by a home build...
I've been following CNC forums and information for a while now, and from what I understand, precision isn't usually an issue. Like, at all. You may not get the speed of a professional machine, but I hear that there would be little-to-no loss between machines. If you have the room and the ability to assemble it, I'd seriously look into it.
If I had a building, or even the space inside my house, this is the first thing I would build. First. Thing.

One of the coolest things about my CNC guy's setup is the hold down vacuum. No clamps for material, just a 20HP vacuum pump that pulls air THROUGH a sacrificial piece of MDF to hold down the material above it. :o
LOVE vacuum tables. Surprising thing? Easy to make! Also, removing 1/16" from each side of MDF makes it flow through.

I haven't added it yet, but yes, I will be providing options for Ms. Pac, Galaga, and Reunion art sets (sides, control panel, and marquee).

Dawwwww, you cant haz mine, but you can order the exact same thing from Haruman,artwork, tmolding, the whole thing. And you can get reunion, mspac, or galaga art!
I did put together the artwork, and not tooting my own horn, I think it all turned out pretty good.

thats why I pay you as a gift from my checking account. Its free on my end, dunno about yours.
As I understand, you pay for it when you do it as a "gift" and the receiver pays for it when you pay for it as a "item purchased". When I sent the $2, I chose "gift" and I got charged a small fee for the transfer.

There is a special trick to where, neither side gets charged. I can't remember but i had a customer send to me as a gift, he had his bank account attached to his paypal, so it was free for him, and i got the full amount on my side......just depends on how you have it setup i guess.

I was going to say that it looks like you could squeeze it down to at most 2 1/2 sheets, if you oriented the rear pieces sideways, or modified their dimensions to fit... Just my two cents.

It's not very saw friendly, router or cnc cuts it nice though.
One time builds, i agree with the laminate approach, but when your doing a cabaret of builds the laminating gets old really quick. What really pisses you off is laminating and then chipping that, after all that hard work.

Okay so, I'm still EXTREMELY green to this whole "building arcade cabinets" thing (aka this is going to be my first one), so I have a couple questions that may be incredibly dumb. I'm looking at the two player wide screen bartop.
Questions!
1) Does it matter what kind of monitor I put in? Or will basically any 23" widescreen LCD fit the bill?
2) You offer a "Clear 1/8" polycarbonate bezel & marquee with black plastic U-channel for the right & left sides of each." Unfortunately my dumb newbie brain doesn't know exactly what that means. What is that?
3) Is there any concern of, like, palm sweat wearing out the paint and such on the control panels?
4) You mention an "admin panel"... is that the buttons on the lower section facing straight out towards the player?
5) Speaking of buttons, I have (what seems to be standard-ish) 30mm buttons. Will those fit the button holes?
6) For the widescreen kit, what do you need as far as motherboard size? Will an ATX motherboard fit, or is it designed for something smaller?
I'm like half a second away from ordering a kit (well, maybe like a paycheck away), but I just wanted to make sure I was fully aware of what I was getting, etc.
Thank you SO MUCH! :)
Post by: HaRuMaN on November 02, 2013, 10:49:02 am
2) So, you get the plexiglass to cover the marquee area, and you get the plexiglass to cover the monitor area. Black U-channel is just a decorative touch that goes on the left / right sides of both.
3) This is black melamine (a type of laminate). It's not going to wear off under your hands. :)
4) Yes
5) Yes. the widescreen kit comes with 30mm button holes.
6) I would go with MicroATX.
Let me know if you have any more questions!
Thanks! :cheers:

Found a place that sells them for $79 shipped for real glass, which is $20 cheaper than anything else I've seen. They have super fast shipping, too.

I made the CPs on this out of metal, the ones on the previous one were wood. Both were fine.

Yeah, what sold me on this kit is the woodgrain. The melamine HaRuMaN used is a beautiful cherry color. I did use a black top on this one, so that's why the glass looks smoked. I did put a smoked piece of plexi between the screen and glass, though. Looks better.
My daughter gave it a name, and I had a buddy print the vinyl stickers used for the graphics. It really adds a pop to the table.

@snaaaake, the control panel rests on the batons that are glued in. How you attach the cp is up to you. Some people screw it down, some use Velcro, I'm gonna try magnets soon.
HaRuMaN, couple more questions I thought of:
1) I saw you mention that the control panel is removeable. Is that the only way into the innards of the case, to replace dead hardware and such?
2) Can you do modifications? I was thinking of maybe two small ports on the back side of the case for USB mounts, so you can plug a keyboard/mouse in for software troubleshooting and such.

Are you selling the artwork and t-molding, too? All I see is a plain black one on the website.
Yes, I will be adding those to the website soon... A full set of Ms. Pac art (sides, CPO, marquee) and pink t-molding trimmed to 1/2" will run $80 for install yourself. I've thought about offering pre-installed, but haven't decided on that price yet.
Post by: HaRuMaN on November 05, 2013, 10:31:57 am
What the hell? Your website lists the price, then says "plus shipping and handling". Click on the "plus shipping and handling" and it opens a pop up window that says "all prices include shipping, no extra charges". :lol
I know... I'm still trying to figure out how to fix that. The price you see is the price SHIPPED. I'm a newb when it comes to websites & espcially e-shops, I'm just glad I was able to get it hooked up to PayPal correctly. :dizzy:

What kind of speakers are you putting behind those fantastic grills? Are they computer speakers? Or like, stereo speakers that you've wired to a 1/8" headphone plug for plugging into your motherboard?

So, questions for the general populous:
What kind of speakers are you putting behind those fantastic grills? Are they computer speakers? Or like, stereo speakers that you've wired to a 1/8" headphone plug for plugging into your motherboard?
Is this the wrong thread for this question? :-\
Nope, this is the right thread. I have used small USB powered speakers in mine, but you could also use car type speakers and a small amp, like this:
http://www.amazon.com/LP-2020A-Lepai-Tripath-Class-T-Amplifier/dp/B0049P6OTI/ (http://www.amazon.com/LP-2020A-Lepai-Tripath-Class-T-Amplifier/dp/B0049P6OTI/)
My next build will probably go the speaker / amp route.

I guess I don't know what the back panel looks like, because all my questions come from that:
How does power come into this box? Is there just a hole cut in the back where a single power cord can come out? And I guess that follows straight into a more general question: what's the ideal way to set these up to power on? You've got to at least be able to turn on/off the computer and monitor with one switch, right? Or am I missing something obvious?

Alright, to continue my "dumb questions post-purchase" thread:
I guess I don't know what the back panel looks like, because all my questions come from that:

And I guess that follows straight into a more general question: what's the ideal way to set these up to power on? You've got to at least be able to turn on/off the computer and monitor with one switch, right? Or am I missing something obvious?
Only 1 of my bartops runs a PC, Bonnie's Pink Box. It has a wireless KB and mouse, so we shutdown from that. However, most mobo's you can set to shut down PC with press of a button, so you could just wire a button into the back/top and use that to shut down. Power comes in at the bottom of the door on all my cabs, drill a hole, put an arcade button in there without a plunger, and run the wire through. I unplug the cabs when not inuse and the monitors auto power on when I plug it in.
You might answer a lot fo the questions you come up with by looking at some bartop project threads :cheers:

Haruman, these are amazing. Do the cocktail cabs come with control panels? Your site mentions they can be used with standard Midway metal CPs but I couldn't tell if they normally ship with wood panels.
I don't have them shown, but yes, these can ship with wood control panels, just make a note on the order. (Metal control panels not included, though). :cheers:

I am interested in setting one up with a vertical oriented monitor to play pacman, donkey kong, galaga, etc. My goal is to spend less time on the cab and more getting the guts and software done. I like the midway and the nintendo designs. What dimensions are recommended for monitors in these two cabs? The details may very well be in this thread, but its 28 pages! I am leaning towards using on old hp laptop I have sitting around. It is a 15" widescreen with a 1280x800 monitor.
Has anyone used a laptop and a laptop screen in one of these? With the polycarbonate bezel and vesa mount it looks like a desktop style monitor is probably the best bet, but just wondering if there are any other options.
Thanks in advance

With the Nintendo, you could do a 19" vertically or a 20.1" horizontally.

I have been debating how to get after this project for a bit. Your clearance one has me thinking about just going that route. Does the clearance one you are selling have the center piece with the monitor mount? If so, you can put me down for that kit along with the plexi. If not, i would probably pass and opt for a full kit.
Thanks
Yes, it includes the monitor mount piece with 100 x 100 and 75 x 75 VESA mount holes as well as the triangular brackets to hold the monitor mount to the sides.

Hey, just wanted to double check that you meant a 360 game case (like a DVD case)... or did you want big enough for an actual 360 console. ;D Figured I'd ask before I got too far into the plans.

Very nice! Could you include a piece of board to cover the very bottom opening?, I could possibly install a drawer into it. Also for the edges, I would prefer to have it pre-cut for t-molding. Let me know the pricing of everything, I want to get the standard bartop, pedestal, polycarbonate bezel & marquee and have everything pre-slotted for t-molding.
I could do that, sure. Let me get the plans for the pedestal over to the shop so I can find out how much it would run.

It's been going pretty well (considering my lack of woodworking/planning skills), but I have a few questions that may be dumb:
So I've got those little sticks, that it seems you're supposed to glue(?) into the not-as-deep slats, and then rest the back door and controls on them. I guess my questions are 1) do you glue the sticks into those slots and 2) how do you keep the controls from just lifting off when someone pulls up on a joystick, or the back door from just falling off?
Thanks! (Seriously, this case came out great, and my lack of woodworking skills are barely going to be able to do it justice!)

Not dumb at all. The thin strips get glued into the sides. How to attach the cp and back is up to you. Some people use screws, some use industrial Velcro, I am going to try strong magnets soon. As far as the back goes, I usually hinge the bottom, and use a lock at the top.

In this thread a few people showing finished products, the edges of the two side panels have this nice black plastic edging. I don't know how to find that. I tried "edging" at amazon, but all it has is gardening stuff. I don't even know if its called edging.
What's that stuff?! :)
EDIT: Edge Banding. Found it. Of course as soon as I ask. haha
EDIT2: Okay so... Do you just get it 1/2 inch wide and iron it on? I can't find it 1/2 inch wide in my basic google/amazon searches.

http://www.t-molding.com/ (http://www.t-molding.com/) is a regular place to get it.
Groovy Game Gear (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=75&zenid=opin93c91f46c3o5gdhidnaf17) has it too.
If you look at the bartop pic in the very first post of this thread you will see a groove cut into the wood. The leg of the "T" molding gets pressed/tapped/beaten into that groove.

Alright came up with another question:

Looks like someone needs to read the byoac bible (http://www.amazon.com/Project-Arcade-Build-Your-Machine/dp/047089153X/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_1).

This came all the way from down there in Arizona, to up here in Vancouver BC Canada.
At first opening the box, I can see the packaging was well thought out, from the light-weight materials to the method of wrapping the panels.
(http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=103207.0;attach=300914)
Each set of panels are tightly packed together, with foam protecting the edges.
(http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=103207.0;attach=300918)
No damage! I was worried that the long travel distance and exchanging of hands/trucks/planes, etc... would yield some unwanted results, but it all came in unscathed!
All the contents:

I asked Lee to route out the bottom of my control panel to be able to fit Japanese-type controls. My Seimitsu LS-58, and Sanwa buttons fit well! Don't mind the snap-in Sanwa buttons, I'll be going with screw-in ones once they arrive.
(http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=103207.0;attach=300912)
Paradise Arcade Shop's aluminum balltop with shaft cover on the LS-58. I love that balltop, it has this dark, dull, matte look that is really sleek looking in RL. This is a 1P bartop...geared towards more non-kick harness games. (if you know how I feel about the LS-58's, and what I use them for, then it'll be pretty easy to figure out what type of games I'll be playing on this thing)
(http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=103207.0;attach=300908)
I gotta say, this kit is looking really sweet!
The quality of the cuts is clean, as expected, and the weight of the cabinet altogether isn't too heavy, but not too light. The laminate is going to save a lot of time painting and priming, and it just looks sexy.
I've got a few plans for having the CP accessible from the front.
I'll post more information on it once I start assembling, and probably put up a project thread. For now, I'm keeping my project intentions close-to-the-chest, but I will say that I'm stoked to get this assembled, all wired and art'd up!

Can you give any detailed pictures of how this all works?
Post by: HaRuMaN on December 12, 2013, 01:25:03 pm
So I might just be a dummy, but how does this marquee plexi go on? I have the plastic u-channel pieces and the piece of plexi for the marquee, but do I just glue the plastic pieces on? I am very confused.
Can you give any detailed pictures of how this all works?
Ok... so you need 2 pieces of L channel, one for the top, one for the bottom. I just screw it into the wood on the top and bottom...
I'll see if I can find a pic.
Post by: PsychoAU on December 12, 2013, 01:41:08 pm
Post by: HaRuMaN on December 12, 2013, 01:48:12 pm
L channels would make sense, but I ordered your 1-Player kit back in the summer and you sent me just U shaped pieces. That's where I was getting confused.
Ahh, reading comprehension fail on my part. U-channel is just decorative, really, goes on the left / right sides of the plexi.
Post by: PsychoAU on December 12, 2013, 01:50:29 pm
Can you send me a picture of all of these pieces installed? Maybe have it as part of your installation pictures in the first post?
Post by: HaRuMaN on December 12, 2013, 01:57:12 pm
Ok, that solves the mystery of what the U pieces are for, but I still don't have a way to mount the plexi. Were you sending out L-Channel pieces at one time? Did I just not get any?
Can you send me a picture of all of these pieces installed? Maybe have it as part of your installation pictures in the first post?
No, I was not sending out L - channel... I did find a source of some nice matte black plastic L-channel, I could send you a couple of pieces if you like. The place I get from has a minimum order.
As for pics, this what I could find at the moment... see the two silver color screws? They are holding the L-channel on.

EDIT: Nevermind. I see in the first post the width of the CP is 17.72" so I can assume the plexi is the same width. Thanks, though.

Whats the easiest way to mount the monitor in the widescreen kit. I have the monitor mounted to the VESA board, I read farther back to turn the cab on its side but how do I know the best spot to mount it? Should I have the plexi on the monitor first to allow for that space?
I usually lay the bartop face down, rest the plexi in, set the monitor on top of the plexi, and mount it that way.

yup, the taller side walls, joystick placement, button count and placement, all completely identical! I guess if you get a blank from Rick or Haruman you dont get the high quality buttons or stick or the top of the line encoder, so thats another reason to go Xarcade. /sarcasm

Sorry, maybe I missed something in my absence (and by absence, i mean not being able to check the forum several times a day like a used to), but what is all the hate recently with anything being designed / built from a kit these days?
I mean, the kits I've seen come out of the community here lately have been top-notch quality, and using pretty much the same materials if they were built any other way. We are not all lucky enough to have access to the same tools or workshop space, so I consider these a godsend.
Sure, some of what I saw as recently as 5 years ago was not very impressive. And some products I've seen being sold elsewhere on-line still fall into that "questionable quality" category. But not internally here.
Is it the influx of more bar-top builds and less "true restoration" threads? People being considered lazy? The designs? I just don't see the cause for the venom. Not trying to stir a hornet's nest, genuinely curious and I'll start a separate thread if needed.

I love my HaRuMaNCustoms cocktail kit. He basically did the heavy lifting part for me with the main body kit, and I've been able to give it my own touches. My plan was always to build from scratch, but it ended up saving me time. In fact, I've bought 5 kits from HaRuMaN over the past year, and we're working on the 6th right now. That means I qualify for a free sawhorse.
Oh, and I LOVE restorations.

Thanks but i was actually just looking for the button and joystick surrounds. the joystick surround sticker everyone tends to use is wrong. That's the champion edition surround. A variation of it is also used in street fighter 1

So you are looking for something similar to this then ? ( I added the joystick surround to the other art you linked - it isn't perfect but should work - would probably work better as a vector rather than in PS but it's been awhile since I tried any vector work.)

Thanks. The weekend has been pretty busy so i took some time little by little to try to get the triangles symmetrical etc. my vector work is very rusty but so far i'm working on cleaning up the image and setting it to scale. So far, pretty decent.

Wow that's beautiful. Description on your site says it's meant for a 17" or 19" horizontal monitor, what's the biggest vertical it could fit? Are the artwork areas (marquee) the same size as a full Nintendo cab or shrunk down?
I believe a 19" could fit vertically but I would need to double check.
Marquee is shrunk down to fit the cabinet.

Yeah, I've seen those, and while the mechanics are pretty cool, I don't care for the way they did the shade, which is why I'm doing this one. :)

Get out of my head! I was just going to PM you that very same edge design idea. Will the top/bottom panels be interchangeable? I'll be in for one, but I'd like to hang it with a light in from above. I'd assume you could use the same whole sizes for that regardless if you were using it as a floor standing lamp or hanging profile.

Nope, not interchangeable, however, my design will allow for bottom mounting (table, wall) and top mounting (hanging). The mounts aren't shown in the picture here. :) I've got a good line on some lamp hardware that will work really well for these.

Hey guys or HaRuMaN, does anyone have the widescreen bartop (2 player) cnc plans or templates? I want to attempt this. I suck at cutting wood so was going to print the CNC plans to scale and use it. I did download the sides that were posted at the beginging of the thread but was looking for inside measurments etc. Any help is highly appreciated. Damn HaRuMaN does great work! Very creative!!!
Thank you
Luis
The widescreen is simply the weecade (standard) bartop with the internal panels stretched to 22". The sides are the same.
I can still host them somewhere if you need them.

Now that the gushfest is done. I wanted to get down to some business. Oh yes, I want one. I wanted to know a few things. I've scanned back in the last 2 pages of this post and I gotta say, I love that Nintendo design. It's really awesome. I am for sure interested in getting one that will fit a 19" vertically. Has anyone tried this? If so, do we have any real pictures of this?
HaRuMaN - If I intend to get the Nintendo version, I wanted to know how the plexiglass situation goes. How does it mount? Also were you able to experiment with Nintendo buttons? Will they clear? Forgive me on my ignorance here, I just didn't see much detail on this. We could move this over to a PM if needed.
Thanks,
Spencer

The marquee is held on at the top with a piece of L-channel, and at the bottom with a piece of H-channel. The top of the bezel fits into the bottom of the H-chanel, and I have a mounting slot at the bottom for the bezel.
Got a drawing or pictures of Nintendo buttons? I don't see what would cause them not to clear, but I would need to see some to be sure.
Thanks!

Right on, Lee. I appreciate the response. Here is what I can dig up (attached below). I imagine it would be okay, I figured I would ask.
Is the h-channel and t-channel included in the price for the marquee and monitor plexi? I saw a few folks were showing off cabarets. Have you thoughts about getting these done through a CNC guy? If so, do you have an idea of cost to do it (maybe a ball park on shipping?)? It's not for me, but I have a friend whom I was telling him about all the work and success you had on these bartops. Then I started showing him some of the testimonials. ;D

Is the h-channel and t-channel included in the price for the marquee and monitor plexi? I saw a few folks were showing off cabarets. Have you thoughts about getting these done through a CNC guy? If so, do you have an idea of cost to do it (maybe a ball park on shipping?)? It's not for me, but I have a friend whom I was telling him about all the work and success you had on these bartops. Then I started showing him some of the testimonials. ;D

Yeah, that button should fine. H & L channel are available for an additional $15. I custom cut them to size to fit each cab.
I have drawn plans up for a cabaret, I think I got an estimate from my CNC guy, let me take a look.

Sounds good! I've sent a PM. :notworthy: I should probably stop using that emote before Rick finds out. :cheers:

I got the two player model and I'm planning on putting Sanwa sticks in it. Will they feel ok just mounted underneath? Or should I get the extended shafts? The bottom of the CP isn't routed for them.

The CP is 1/2" thick... you may want to think about the extended shafts

It's totally a judgment call, really. I ordered Jiffy Sticks (Sanwa clones) and with regular shafts and using 5/8" MDF, they fit well into my bartop.
(http://i.imgur.com/kAyrAWC.jpg)
I personally wouldn't install longer shafts, but to each his own.

It's the next one on my plate. Should be very soon, price for cherry woodgrain melamine would be ~$220 shipped. Can also do a cabinet grade baltic birch for around $260 shipped (this one you would need to stain or something to finish). Both are 1/2" materials.

Front view, you can see the 360 sitting comfortably inside. Also, plexi is resting on the plexi / control panel shelf. Notice that little brass colored thing on the bottom left?

Zoomed in... it's an invisible barrel hinge. This kit will come with 2 of them. As well as 2 16-pound-pull neodemium magnet latches that attach the the top of the control panel and control panel shelf...

And here it is, control panel wired, testing the monitor (not mounted yet, just sitting behind the cabinet). It's a 24" LED gaming monitor, 2ms refresh... and it looks awesome in person...

Speaking of which, anyone have any good solutions they have used on their kits to hold the plexi?
On my previous kits I have rested the plexi on the back of the speaker shelf and the back of the batons for the CP and mounted the monitor in such a way that it applies a slight pressure to hold the plexi in place.

How does the new widescreen differ from the old widescreen model?
The old widescreen is simply the weecade stratched out.
The new one is my own design. It's an inch wider so it can hold a 24" widescreen monitor. There is more depth available inside to accommodate a fat 360 easily. The new one also incorporates a CP / plexi shelf to make mounting the plexi easier. The CP shelf also holds neodemium magnets to keep the CP closed. The CP opens using a pair of invisible barrel hinges. Also, the CP is routed for Sanwa controls.

Couple of unfinished bartops, the one on the left is running a howler pcb and RGB controls courtesy of Paradise Arcade. The one on the right is running the DC.

HaRuMaN and I are there setting up his booth when this young adult kid wanders by. He starts talking to us, and he's especially taken with the Ultimate Widescreen Bartop. It's all going good, and then one of the organizers asked him who he's there with. We realized he was just some kid who wandered in off the street and walked into the venue. She kicked him out, but after he had gotten in some games of SF4. Did you hand him a business card?
I bet he was one of Rick's spies.

I gotta give props to my man HaRuMaN- he was at the show hustling and schmoozing. He sold one bartop there and generated a lot of interest for future orders. The man was a machine! ;D
Seriously, I don't doubt it. I know how shows go, and I never expected anything but a full-on schmooze-fest from "the Man" in the U.S.

I'd cover for him whenever he needed a bathroom break, but other than that, he was at the booth and always on. I give him credit- there were a lot of tire-kickers, but also a lot of genuine interest as well. He's already formluating plans for 2015!
Yeah, I have to thank yots for all the help, he made it a lot easier (and brought me 5 Guys burger for dinner) to stay all weekend long. :cheers:

Option B. I actually know a booth babe and tried to get HaRuMaN to hire her, but this year's budget didn't allow for it. Look for his Booth Babe Kickstarter next spring!

by the way, that Galaga is so ---smurfing--- awesome! I just HAD to order one..with the artwork..
That Donkey Kong is awesome, too.
So many talented people out there making this hobby great long after arcades have come and gone. Good news for people like me with ZERO artistic and woodworking skills. Being 44, I've spent countless quarters in actual arcades back in the day. I like the new games as much as anyone, but there is still something special about firing up a game of Galaga or DOnkey Kong.

The Galaga was a crowd favorite, people really dug the artwork & the form factor. I tried to keep as close to the original Midway profile as possible. :cheers:

I am, it's Rick who's fascinated with thongs!
Hey, regarding retainers, plan one type as slot cut, the other as using original parts. Regarding power, on the one I built, I didn't cut a slot for a cord. I think a small cutout notch on the bottom back would suffice. It's better than using an IEC connector. Much smaller.
Any chance the tops could be black melamine and the sides raw MDF for painting/vinyl application? 1/2 or 3/4?

I have a V1 kit done (Bonnie's Pink Box) and 1 in progress (still) Bobby's TMNT project, if the parts weren't held in with batons , the thing I'd hate most would be the sides. Took a lot of work to get the sides super smooth on both cabs. Ive now done a couple V2+ cabs and the vinyl goes on the sides perfectly with a nice smooth melamine surface.

I use a small spray bottle with water and a drop of dawn. Spray the top of the wood till it's wet, apply the sticker on top, get it aligned, and then use something to squeeze the water out towards the edges. I use a hard squeegee, one of the yellow ones from here:
http://www.tapplastics.com/product/window_films/tools_supplies/tap_squeegees/316 (http://www.tapplastics.com/product/window_films/tools_supplies/tap_squeegees/316)
Do you cut the control panel so that there is extra hanging over edges, then once everything dries, cut that excess off? I just don't want to have the edges lifting up once everything dries.
Sorry for the newb questions..I've never applied artwork to a control panel before, and I only have ONE shot :(

http://www.tapplastics.com/product/window_films/tools_supplies/tap_squeegees/316 (http://www.tapplastics.com/product/window_films/tools_supplies/tap_squeegees/316)
Do you cut the control panel so that there is extra hanging over edges, then once everything dries, cut that excess off? I just don't want to have the edges lifting up once everything dries.
Sorry for the newb questions..I've never applied artwork to a control panel before, and I only have ONE shot :(
Yes, the sticker has some excess to trim. The excess in the front you can fold down and let the T-molding hold it in.

"Faster than it takes a proper looking Rick to make a Galaga bartop"
The words "proper looking" are strategically missing from your comment, I see.
:P
There, I fixed it.
Post by: deadmoney5 on May 15, 2014, 12:43:26 pm
and it was a waste of money for me. I started using it and the cuts were not consistent at all, so i used a sharp exacto knife to fix...then I realized that the exacto knife worked better ::)
With a sharp exacto knife, trimming the excess T molding is very fast and clean.

What size tmolding did you trim. I have used 1/2 black and white, but now i want to use a red color and cannot find 1/2 in red.
I think mine was 3/4". So there was excess to trim on both sides of the bartop.

Does the 3/4 provide a smooth finish? Any pictures. Just curious before calling.
J
Yes..very smooth. Just look at the galaga and ms pacman bartops that were made. The t molding on those was trimmed to fit the 1/2" wood. Looks fine.

I use industrial velcro and it actually holds really well.
I actually used 3M Dual Lock instead of Velcro. Worked much better for me. Once everything "snaps" into place, the panel doesn't move at all.

Those outer shelves just attached with dowels, so easy enough to delete them from the design.

It was an unintended bonus when I built my pedestal. Where to put the stool? Well... shoot... fits right under there. Looks planned.
I can't afford anything the two of you make, but I can intercede in a bad design.

since doing a cab is out of the question for me for the forseeable future, and I would like to play all the classics with a true 4-way setup w/ some classic art (via MAME), I'm getting a quote on a custom stick that's laid out basically like your Galaga panel on your bartop (complete with credit button on the front) . Except with a different art (I'm kind of partial to Pac-Man myself, but I threw some other potential ideas his way). If/when we close the deal and I receive it (or if he wants to post after finishing) pics will be posted :)

The Ms Pac Man/Galaga you just posted. It accompanies two of my favorite classics and they are both in the 4 way catagory. I could go with something cheesy like a multicade art, but that looks really good :)

Its to make the sound more up close and personal and all in one portable. I did the same thing for the VISION BOX. (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,133965.msg1380687.html#msg1380687)
It gives you the option of using your soundsystem or just the onboard speakers.
For instance say you wanna hook this up to a projector for an outdoors event...i'd rather not have to lug around speakers and a receiver. Looks like theres space at the bottom for a subwoofer too, perfect 2.1 setup. I like it....
I know i'm getting one, I have a small projector i'd like to put inside it and throw a 300" picture of some ms. pacman on a outdoor screen.....

I worked with HaRuMaN on that second version. The original has the speakers inside the cp firing down. So I came up with the idea of mounting them like that. The opening in the center is for either a marquee or a second screen.

so I finally got down to working on the kit from haruman and just wanted to share what I've done so far. I used a multicolored led light strip to light up and change colors.
This looks great! Just as a thought, I too implemented an LED strip with exactly the same execution you did (i.e. wrapping it around the marquee hole) and found it was too bright, and the LED's 'showed through' the marquee itself too much. I opted to trim them down, and placed a single strip across the centre... I trimmed a piece of wood down to the width, so that it was around 3" tall, and wrapped it in tin-foil, with the LED strip glued horizontally across the centre. It created a more uniform glow overall, without the harshness of each little LED.
Just my two cents.

I'll get the most annoying one out of the way first: I ordered a ultimate widescreen last week and wondering if there is an estimate on when it will be shipped out!
Now the real question! I want to make some art for it, I have some basic photoshop/illustrator background so I wanted to do it myself. Do you have any templates or something I could use to design since I don't have my kit yet to measure it? I assume you do since I see the cool custom art in this thread already. Also, where do you like to get your art printed? Is there a specific material you use for the control panel, should I do the sandwich style with plexiglass on top of the art?
Just wondering what you have found to work well with your kits. I read through this thread, but I haven't seen much about the ultimate widescreen. Any build logs of people who have used them? Can't wait to start mine!
Post by: HaRuMaN on August 26, 2014, 10:20:30 am
I can send you some templates to make some art up. I like to get my art printed at Soul Draw, but they have upped there minimum order, so it may not be economical for you. I'm usually ordering multiple sets at a time so it works for me.
I just use self adhesive vinyl for the sides & control panel. I don't cover the control panel with plexi, so far it's been fine. If this was getting heavy use like in an arcade, then I would.
The ultimate widescreen has been a very good seller lately, but I haven't seen many threads on them. I can tell you it is set up for Sanwa controls, 2 x JLF joysticks, 6 x 24mm OSBN buttons (screw in) and 16 x 30mm OSBN buttons (screw in).
Post by: lapeters11 on August 26, 2014, 10:45:41 am
Hey there, I should be picking up your kit from the CNC either today or tomorrow, and then the slot cutting & packing will take place over the weekend. It will ship Tuesday, you'll get an email from FedEx with the tracking number. :cheers:

Awesome thanks for the quick reply! I look forward to the template so I can get started, already have some ideas bouncing around. I have seen a lot of people using gameongrafix.com, do you think that would work for me?
And maybe I will make a build log for it, since there aren't any others yet. I have never done something like that before though so I will probably wait until I am finished to post it all at once.

It has been a long time since I used photoshop, but I found someone elses art a few pages back and copied it to make myself a template. I think I set the size right. I haven't actually played the new ones yet, but I always loved Soul Edge/Blade/Calibur when I was younger so I decided to use that as my theme. Not sure if I want to put words on my Marquee or not, if I do I will completely redo it. I wish I could've found good artwork from the older games, but the fourth game had the best selection to work with. I really like the sides and the marquee, but a little unsure on the control panel. Is it too random? The colors are the actual button colors I ordered (before I decided on a theme). Like I said I haven't played with any kind of design work in years. Looking for honest criticism.

Sides look great, go back to the drawing board on the Marquee and Control Panel.

I'm thinking of getting another kit ( the ultimate kit and 2 modded wired xbox360 controller). I plan to put a xbox 360 slim in there and was curious on how you would get the sync button extended so that I could get player 3 and 4 wireless controllers to be linked when I want to play a 4 player game. What do you guys think would be the best solution. I would not want to open the arcade box just to hit the sync button or have 2 dedicated wireless controller for this kit. thanks in advance.
It's been a while since I looked at that button's guts on the 360... it should just be a momentary pushbutton, which means it should be able to be wired to a normal arcade button. I'll take a look & see, but it should be doable.

Did anybody make any bezels that fit your bartops? Currently all I have for my Galaga is a thick piece of black paper.
Whenever I build a bartop, I take my design over to Staples for printing. Caution: you need to give them strict dimensions when you have them print it - both for any outside and inside dimension - as their software can generally "shrink to fit" any printing. In Canada, they normally charge $14 for a poster-sized print.

A simpler solution to consider -- I put two USB ports in my cab. For 4 player games, I can just plug in wired XB360 controllers. Easier than wireless, and the USB port is there for a keyboard or thumb drive, as well. The cocktail design he posted a bit ago is mine -- you can see the hole for one of the USB ports under the end control panel in one of them. If I was doing a bartop, I'd just put one on each side, maybe back towards the rear, so they're out of the way. Its like $20 worth of parts.

The 2 usb ports are going to be taken up by 2 dedicated wired controller hacks for the main cabinet. Can you plug more than 2 into a 360?
Yup, USB hubs work fine. You actually have four, anyway. There's two in the back and two in the front.

I'm really interested in the Nintendo kit. I was scanning through this thread and I only saw the Nintendo cab as a digital picture. Does anyone have a pic of their own completed Nintendo cab to post? Also, I read on the first page that these are supplied as black, but can you possibly supply in the traditional Nintendo colors? I'm thinking the orange or light blue found on Nintendo cabinets. Although I have been restoring cabinets for several years, I never picked up being able to make my own graphics. If anyone can recommend a site or member here, it would be appreciated.
Here is a customer completed cab with the art I printed for him. I have since lightened the blue up to be more like a DK cab.

haruman whats the size of the marquee that fits the standard bar-top . i got plexi cut from you but haven't unpacked it. thanks
17.75" x 4.5"
Note that the top and bottom 0.5" should be a black bar (will be covered up by marquee retainer, so your effective marquee area is 17.75 x 3.5

So a little birdie told me that HaRuMaN's Customs might have some exciting news coming down the pike? Care to refute or confirm the rumor?

I can neither confirm nor deny those rumors... ;)

Yes, it's true. Haruman's Customs is the first subsidiary of Gameroom Designs International.

I am considering the Ultimate Widescreen bartop but not sure where the best deal is for all of the required joysticks/buttons/encoders?
I don't want to get ripped off and want decent parts, curious if the zippy sticks are ok or is the sanwa jlf the only solid option?
I would use Happ but I guess the Ultimate Widescreen comes routed for Sanwa JLF only.
* Haruman,
- What is estimated wait time for an Ultimate Widescreen bartop (order placed -> shipped out -> shipping time to west coast)?
- Is it currently best to PM you here or just order on the website?
Thanks,
Jason

I can modify the control panel to use happ controls if you want, that's no problem at all.
I have a very large number of orders right now, so turnaround times are about 4 weeks. Shipping to Cali would only take a couple days.
You can order on the website, just make a note to set it up for happ parts. Did you want happ buttons as well?

I'm having a fit issue with a mag stik plus on the 2 player-
With the stik "installed" it will hit the 2 buttons on the admin panel, not letting the control panel sit forward enough.

Hey Haruman,
Did you ever solve for this? I was actually worried about this happening with me, because I also have the Magstick Plus and I have the GGG Coin Drop Pushbutton: http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=73&products_id=295 (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=73&products_id=295)

If you install it with the admin panel in the correct orientation (buttons in front of buttons) you won't have this issue.

Just in case, take along a pencil rubbing of the threaded insert in case it is a non-standard size.

Post by: Rick on October 20, 2014, 12:09:47 pm
You probably need metric M4 (<200mm x 200mm patterns) or M6 (200mm x 200mm pattern) machine screws per this wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Display_Mounting_Interface). ;D
Just in case, take along a pencil rubbing of the threaded insert in case it is a non-standard size.
I couldn't find the "properly named" M4 screws for my implementations, however, Home Depot has them available as (I believe) 'cabinet hardware' screws. (They're the same size used for attaching knobs to the front of wood cabinets.) They're about 1 1/2" long, and 'sizable', meaning that in sections on the thread, there are 'blank spaces' so that you can cut them down using a pair of side cutters. It's certainly not my favourite solution, but it works.

If I were to order one of your 2 player widescreen kits, could I get a different drilled front panel? Instead of having 3 holes on either side. Have 2 on each side and 3 in the middle?

I know you could come up with something rad. My ideal would be an astro city style bartop where I could replace the panel somehow and have a few like one with a track ball or spinner. I played Centipede on an astro city cab once that had a trackball and it has just stuck with me.Have you considered making an astro city style bartop?

Ouch.
Ultimate: 39 lbs, 28" x 24" x 6", $280
Widescreem: 30 lbs, 24" x 18" x 6", $140
Not sure why the huge difference, I guess the more expensive one crosses some dimensional threshold...

1. Any pictures of a cabinet in white melamine? I'm interested in doing a "dry erase" bartop cabinet for my daughters to scribble on as they play.
2. Are there any videos of the hinges for the ultimate? I'd rather pay less for the non-ultimate, but it seems like having a removable CP would be pretty useful for changes. I'm having trouble visualizing how industrial velcro would attach.
3. What exactly is slot cutting? Is that the channel for the t-molding or for plexiglass?
4. How long is the wait right now?
5. How much is shipping to the Chicago area?
6. Do you sell buttons/sticks? Which work best with the widescreen kit?
7. Once the cab is glued, how do you access everything? Are people cutting a door in the back panel or attaching it with velcro or something?
Thanks, man. Hopefully I can fit this into the budget and get wifely approval.

1. Any pictures of a cabinet in white melamine? I'm interested in doing a "dry erase" bartop cabinet for my daughters to scribble on as they play.
2. Are there any videos of the hinges for the ultimate? I'd rather pay less for the non-ultimate, but it seems like having a removable CP would be pretty useful for changes. I'm having trouble visualizing how industrial velcro would attach.

Thanks, man. Hopefully I can fit this into the budget and get wifely approval.
1)I can photoshop some or Haruman can prolly render one
2) the CP sits on 2 batons, so velcro goes on the far left and right sides of the CP and on the batons
3) thats exactly what it is
7) The door on the back is usually hinged/screwed/velcro'ed on , so you access it from the back.

Here is the link to the standard (degenatron). It's open source. The only difference between it & the widescreen is the panels are 22" long vs ~17.75"

1) See Attached
2) Videos? No. It's just a barrel hinge. See Attached. Hidden until opened up. All my other kits I use industrial velcro on the batons and on the front edge.
3) T-molding slot. You'll need 1/2" to complete the kit.

5) $30

An expensive, carved version of a cheap plastic sign. This hobby is going full circle again.
You owe me $5, HaRuMaN.
Don't you have wine bottles you need to be stuffing Xmas lights into?

That's sweet that you guys talk about me. If you wanted a wine bottle, all you had to do was ask. Enjoy the $5.

Well, at first I started off with an STL file to make this a true carving with smooth 3D gradients, etc. The problem with that was the time it would have taken on the machine, which drove the cost WAAAAAYYYY up. Like $400.
Second, I then created a 2D file instead to cut like I do my bartops. Problem was each letter was made of 1000's of points and was taking forever to cut and in fact crashed the CNC.
Third, just getting the layers just right, extending higher layers into negative space.

I was wondering if you could give me a run-down of the slimmest two-player standing pedestal you currently produce... Not gonna have a whole lot of space in the game room but I'd like to get a little something set up if possible!
Thanks.

I would assume it's something similar to this one? http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,130522.msg1448205.html#msg1448205 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,130522.msg1448205.html#msg1448205) Looks awesome!

I know you don't have anything currently set up, but if we ended up going with a 2-player variation of the build I linked yesterday, would you be able to just throw out a ballpark price range for it? Thanks.
Post by: HaRuMaN on December 11, 2014, 01:00:58 pm
It will be going into a house that we are currently fixing up. I'll stop by there tonite to grab some measurements and scope out how much space we've got but it should definitely be plenty accommodating for a 2-player cab. The distance from the pedestal to the screen is the only real concern, but I can always just scoot them closer together and use a smaller screen. No biggie.

1. I'm thinking about using the ball top U360's, Octagon restrictor with the stiffer spring and not buying the i-pac but using the joystick encoder. Each joystick only supports 8 buttons and the admin panel using 3 per player + 6 game buttons = total of 9. So do I really need the extra button? I know I can map insert coin and start to 1 button. Oh and I plan to use hyperspin as my front end. I've been reading and it also sounds like I will need to also run something like joy2key for the Front end and I'm ok with that. I'm more concerned about missing a button / functionality.
2. If this works, then my next question is about mounting the joystick, I like the clean aesthetics of not using the carriage bolts and I've seen joystick mount kits like http://www.ultimarc.com/controls.html#mountingkits (http://www.ultimarc.com/controls.html#mountingkits) and I'm wondering if this works good on particle board?
3. If joystick mounting kits work which size should I get 3/4 or 5/8?
4. I also like the LED buttons on the ultimarc site but will they also fit in the admin panel? (the button size is 28-30mm)
5. Last joystick related question, the u360's have the same mounting plate as the Sanwa should i get the CP be routed for it?
I'm planning on using the a small amp to power car speakers but I was not sure if the coaxial speakers will work mounted in the marque as apposed to outside of it. If not any car speakers that I should look into instead (i would hate to loose the tweeter of a 2-way speaker thou)
For the monitor I really like the Asus VS238H-P 23-Inch which clocks in at 21.7 inches so it sounds like I should be good (2ms IPS).
Thanks

Either screw in to the wood from the bottom, or embrace the carriage bolts. I love the look of them. Screams authentic to me.
Post by: Malenko on January 10, 2015, 03:16:28 pm
I'm pretty sure they kits are 1/2, so neither of the kits would work.
Either screw in to the wood from the bottom, or embrace the carriage bolts. I love the look of them. Screams authentic to me.
I put screws in from the bottom for the hung donkey, I and the owner were always afraid they'd get ripped out during frantic play, so I ended up putting in carriage bolts.
If you want to hide the bolts, you can counter sink the holes then fill it in and put some art over the CP but the deeper you counter sink it, the less "meat" the control panel is going to have.
I love carriage bolts showing, but I used to hate them.

Recently ordered the Widescreen Bar Top kit and purchased some controls from Paradise Arcade! I have a question that I probably should have asked before I ordered the control layout:
* I ordered two of these sticks http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/levers-paradise-arcade/672-black-top.html (http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/levers-paradise-arcade/672-black-top.html) and these buttons http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/paradise-led-30-c/234-white-translucent-led-pushbutton.html (http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/paradise-led-30-c/234-white-translucent-led-pushbutton.html) Will they work with the kit and do I need anything in addition such as mounting hardware? I'd like for nothing to show on top of the control panel.
Post by: HaRuMaN on January 26, 2015, 08:33:59 pm
As far as the joysticks go, you can use just wood screws from underneath, and that should work. Just predrill, and don't pop through the other side of the panel.
Post by: HaRuMaN on January 27, 2015, 02:03:43 pm

Just the one with the stickers on the side. He's been a repeat customer for about a year now... and the Canadian post have proved to be a little brutal with the boxes. Heh.

I haven't had any complaints, but maybe it's the transfer between USPS and Canada Post that's the issue. I've seen importers be more ... physical ... with some packages during the transition. Or, maybe the greater distance between the two is a factor - more touch points, and all that.

Few questions:
1.) I notice a lot of people with the widescreen kits having the acrylic covering the monitor with no bezel blocking the slim bezel of the monitor. I would like to include a bezel under my acrylic even if it is thin. What could I use to do this?
2.) What type of paper is suggested to print Marquee art on. (for light to properly show through)
3.) Any suggestions for quality/inexpensive USB speakers, and perhaps a couple grills to cover the speaker holes?
That's it for now. I'm sure I'll have more

2) email stpcore with your art, he'll print exactly what you need
3) really any stereo speaker will work, I used felt on the top of the speaker wood to block light. Costs like $1 at a craft store.

Malenko, what kind of art do you have available? I was looking for something SF4 themed.I had gotten Haruman's Widescreen model, which measures at: L:18.6" W:23.0" H:21.45", if you need it.

I like the fat/tall look, but I also like the slims. There is one issue with the slims though, and that is that sometimes they arent deep enough to compensate for US sticks. I think a slim version of this stick is a great idea :cheers:

Yeah the customer will be using Happ stuff. Hence the height. Easy enough to make another, slimmer version. :cheers:

I know i read in the thread somewhere there were blank templates available for creating the artwork. I can not seem to find them.
Post by: Malenko on February 21, 2015, 09:25:49 am
Malenko, what kind of art do you have available? I was looking for something SF4 themed.I had gotten Haruman's Widescreen model, which measures at: L:18.6" W:23.0" H:21.45", if you need it.I PM'ed ya , I don keep designs "in stock" I kinda create on the fly. So get 3 more posts so you can PM me back :)

So, with some constructive criticism from Malenko (who assembled a couple of the first versions for me), I have redesigned the basic fightstick.That looks way better then the 1st design of them. I really never did dig those high sides on the 1st gen ones :D Those look really good now.
Top no longer is encased by the sides:
(http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=136713.0;attach=324405;image)
Top is also now 3/4" thick for more color choices with T-molding:

agreed. They werent terrible though:
(http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=136713.0;attach=321515;image)
after I got the first gen fightsticks, I gave Haruman a lot of feedback on design. I'll be picking up a V2 and seeing if there are any other improvements I can think of. I suggest anyone who buys anything from a vendor here do the same. Feedback is how things get improved.

Did you have any designers that can make the vinyls for the side and controller and marquee for this model? From what I understand, this is your newest one. I apologize in advance if this question was answered already the forums.

Its not official, but Ive been known to make art packages for haruman's kits. If your interested, shoot me a PM with what kinda art you want. I recently designed an Ultra SF4 theme and had it designed, printed, and shipped the art for $165

Moved the button & Neutrik hole on the back to get them out of the way of the two rear buttons on the top panel.
(http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=136713.0;attach=324409;image)
Currently the plan is to make the sides & bottom out of 1/2", but may change that over to 3/4" to match the top...
Do you have pricing yet? and when will be able to order?
I ended up going another route on my stick after getting the first design (I think I was the one to first hit you up about making them)...but after spending a year here and another year over at the other site, now collecting dedicated machines...I feel like I would prefer to build something around a Wico leaf or GGG new leaf stick instead of the JLW I have right now. My current housing is not deep enough. Do we know how much clearance you'll have for stick depth on this design?
Post by: HaRuMaN on March 04, 2015, 10:05:21 am
Yes, it definitely looks amazing. I can't wait until I get it. On a side note, how is everyone attaching the control and back panel? Is it best to use Industrial Strength Velcro Strips? Or is it better to use a hinge for securing the back panel.
I use a hinge and velcro for the back, velcro for the control panel.

Pricing I'm still working out. I need to get my dry fit to check everything, then they will be ready for sale.
Top is sloped, but at the midpoint of the CP, the depth is about 2.8". There is also a recess cut for the joystick (0.375" deep) , so that gives more room.

That looks amazing! Pretty high price, but I'm assuming you're using quality materials. I bought the ultimate widescreen, and that one you're showing is just the widescreen. Any mock designs for that one? I wouldn't mind using this thread to showcase his designs. Actually, it might inspire others to purchase his work.
typically its 85 for design(well 85 if I make the design and you make it available to everyone, $100 if its "exclusive") and 80 to print and ship. Most designs take about 6 hours, so thats $14 an hour if it only takes 6 hours and I actually get paid. If you add up all the times I finished art and didnt get paid Im at about $3 an hour.
I dont believe I designed any full size side art for an ultimate wide screen, but I did do a marquee and CPO:
(http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=136713.0;attach=309623;image)

Because if you did, the profile on the side would have to look like this:

Have you thought about having a display at Zapcon this year with a few different options for people to see? I have been in pinball the last 3 years but just starting to research building a cab for myself so am a total noob. I would love to be able to try out some of your more popular cabs to see what feels best to me before I commit to one.

Haruman,

I would love to be able to try out some of your more popular cabs to see what feels best to me before I commit to one.
I did Zapcon last year, had four different completed kits out.
I plan on attending this year, just not as a vendor. I need a break, it's been super busy here, my wife's been recovering from surgery since Jan 7th, and I've had no time to get ready.
Next year, tho... I plan on having a really good booth set up, with some bartops and perhaps one of my full size cabs as well. :cheers:

DOH! I wasn't interested in building my own cab then so didn't pay much attention...I just got bit by the bug and have made it about halfway through this thread so far. Hopefully I can make a decision on which cab to go with after I finish it up. The amount of support and customization you provide is top notch and the community is lucky to have you in it. I may PM you if I have any questions so thanks in advance!

I'm interested in putting it all together. Here's the question that's probably asked over and over again, please don't flame me for it. But where is the best place to get the correct buttons for this ultimate widescreen bar kit? I understand it uses standard HAPP buttons and it's dimensions are listed on the top page. But does anyone have any favorite vendors that they like to use to provide the buttons?
Also...not sure if it's mentioned but the smaller 3 button holes that go across the top on this ultimate widescreen, what size buttons fit there nicely? I'm thinking of making those a "Coin-in", "Start Button", and Exit Buttons.
Thanks!
Post by: SNAAKE on March 11, 2015, 11:58:18 pm
you can buy buttons from anywhere. check ebay or random threads on buy/sell/trade forums here.

Look for me at Zapcon, I won't be a vendor this year, but I'll be there wearing a BYOAC (or a HarumanCustoms) shirt.
Prototype Neo Geo big red will be in next week, look for pics in this thread. Will be adding some new stuff to the store soon too. :applaud:

The widescreen? You can fit a 23" widescreen LCD in there. The case just needs to be 22" or less from left to right.

Looks great! What are you running in there?
Micro ATX Mobo with a AMD A6 APU CPU. I haven't stepped into the world of Jamma yet.
I thought it was going to need micro everything because of the sleek profile, but its actually quite roomy in there.
So the only thing I was confused about were the magnets. You can see on the lower inside area of the back panel that's where I put them. I already put the magnet in the houses so it was, no go on getting them unscrewed unless i hacked at it. Those magnet are no joke. As having it so low I decided to not install the metal plate on the other side and left them there as a reminder.

And one more of the inside CP. Yes those are Ultimarc Mag-Stik Plus joysticks. Had to change out the mounting plate for it to fit. All connected to a Ipac 4.

That's a lot of T-molding... Just received my first shipment of 1/2" colored.Hi HaRuMan, are you able to make a copy of the real original Verticade?
That is the mdf plates (no moulding) and special acrylics control panel?

I'm looking at using something like a wall tv mount to hang on off the wall, of course, my next concern would be whether the weight of the player on it would pull it off too...
this one says the load capacity is about 110

Thank you for your awesome work. I'll have a lot of fun building it :)
Since there is 49 pages on this topic, I just wanted to make sure that your latest plan are the ones in the first page ?
And another question, you say "shallow" in the autocad plans, do you have a specific value that you used in your build ?
Thank you :)

Yes, those are correct. The shallow cuts (yellow in the DWG) are 0.1". The normal pockets (red) are 0.25".

Did you have to special order all that colored t molding? I thought 1/2" only came in black?!?
So I found a source (thanks to one of my customers) of 1/2" in colors. Only hitch is you have to order 250 feet rolls, which is fine for me. :)

Looks great! What are you running in there?
Micro ATX Mobo with a AMD A6 APU CPU. I haven't stepped into the world of Jamma yet.
I thought it was going to need micro everything because of the sleek profile, but its actually quite roomy in there.
So the only thing I was confused about were the magnets. You can see on the lower inside area of the back panel that's where I put them. I already put the magnet in the houses so it was, no go on getting them unscrewed unless i hacked at it. Those magnet are no joke. As having it so low I decided to not install the metal plate on the other side and left them there as a reminder.
(http://s19.postimg.org/juwjovcoj/0402151815a.jpg)I need to get one of those cab too..add some variety around here
where did you get that coin button?? link plz :police:
No problem SNAAKE
I got the coin buttons from GGG they are the NovaGemCDR Coin Drop Replacement Push button (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=89&products_id=295[/url). And the others are Spectra Eclipse. (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=73&products_id=408[/url)
(http://s19.postimg.org/mz2m7x437/0402151819b.jpg)
And one more of the inside CP. Yes those are Ultimarc Mag-Stik Plus joysticks. Had to change out the mounting plate for it to fit. All connected to a Ipac 4.

Not "Galaxian Green", mind you. Was that intentional, or does the art behind it not mean anything?

Well, you're right. That's Galaga. Eep. (I still think the t-molding is too dark. In fact, I don't think I can recall a cabinet that has 'forest green' t-molding.)

Post by: Rick on April 21, 2015, 10:21:54 am
I intended to show that it wasn't Galaga (or galaxian) green by showing the art behind it. Hopefully eliminate any confusion. This was the only green half inch. Oh well. :cheers:
Have you noticed any challenge in getting the colours you want lately? I've checked with a number of t-molding suppliers, because the colour choices are not congruent across all sizes... For example, for my 5/8" requirements, I can get almost everything except green right now.

Is the The Degenatron CP customizable? I want to use sawna controls/joystick along with 7 buttons. Basically I want a ultimate widescreen cp setup but for 1 player, the degenatron seems like a good fit for this. Also, can you estimate shipping for either the ultimate widescreen or degenatron to 77007.
Thank you
Yes, I can customize the Degenatron to a Sanwa layout, no problem at all. There is no charge for customizing the control panel.
Degenatron to 77007 would be $29 shipping, Ultimate would be $35 shipping.

Now to decide if i should get HaRuMaN's acrylic panel kit. Didn't know it was available :(
Curious, with those 3 holes (each player) on the front panel, seems so closed together. Will it fit this button http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=89&products_id=295 (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=89&products_id=295)[/url ? I'm barely reading thru this thread on page 9 trying to seek out ideas from other members on their final cabinet.
PS. The kit was very nicely and securely packaged HaRuMaN!!! And i didn't know it was pre-slotted for t-molding. Thanks.

I agree, I don't think I would of ever been able to build any of the kits I did by myself from scratch. I just don't know what to get next.I don't know why, but the image of a member near the beginning of this thread stated "$140 for some woods?" somehow had burned that image in my head.....hahahaha I think it's a reasonable price eventhough i have the carpentry tools. One does not know the time you need to spend just from measuring & cutting to make it fit perfect......especially with someone like me whom has a family of two small kids.

I had asked a few questions when I placed my order as well, but never heard back. I must be in the spam folder also. However, I was able to find out the answer to one of them. I have ordered a Degenatron kit from you and I am putting in white LED Happ buttons with chrome rings. I was looking for a place where I could get chrome 1/2" t-molding. That place is here;
http://www.arcadeworlduk.com/products/chrome-half-inch-t-molding.html (http://www.arcadeworlduk.com/products/chrome-half-inch-t-molding.html)
Sadly, after shipping it ends up being quite expensive. 20' ran me $42. Maybe I should have waited until the dollar was doing a little better against the British Pound. I will post some pictures once I get everything assembled. I think the all black with chrome should look pretty good. Well, I hope so anyway.
I had also requested that the control panel and lower panel be blank because I wanted a different button layout. In reading through this thread, I see that you have a plan that uses the layout I wanted. Is it still early enough for me to get a button layout like the picture below?

I would like to start off by expressing my gratitude for answering all my questions and requests with prompt emails of which is a great business model to go by that many lack.
My question to you is that I have noticed you had a few pedestals in the design phase and was inquiring the status for any of those. I am very interested and would love to purchase one in a hurry if possible. Don't care about the wait time, just want one secured. If you have any details or a prices you can you can PM or email me because I know you got that. Again, thank you for the great service and product.

I saw your thread and though about saying something in there, but then decided to just leave it alone. :P
I will say my kits are a lot easier to assemble, come slot-cut for T-molding, and have the correct size button holes to boot! Oh, and you don't have to paint! :cheers:

Speaking of Cocktail kits, I am just about done with mine. Just need to clean up some things on the coin door (got from Yots thats again bruh :cheers:) and configure all the games. First time using RGB buttons so it was a pain wiring everything. Still need some glass clips, not sure if I want to try some small suction cups or just make some custom clips.That looks super tight, brother!

1) yes 2) yes 3) just let me know what kit you want, and what layout you want, I can mock up a layout for you to approve before cutting
Sent from my LGLS740 using Tapatalk
the ultimate widescreen, what size LCD will fit in that? and can i fit an ITX pc in there as well?.
anyways, ultimate widescreen, japanese 8 button layout for sanwa/seimetsu buttons and jlf stick. 3 24mm utility buttons on the main panel, maybe upper right corner?, 1 player, centered controls. 3 extra 24mm utility buttons, and a hole for one of those USB port things on the admin panel. That should be fairly simple/doable yes?. please reply with info about LCD size, and whether an ITX motherboard and ATX power supply will fit down inside. Also, do i use sanwa/seimestu screwbuttons instead of snaps for this?
as for artwork, know anyone i can get ahold of to do art for your kits?
Post by: HaRuMaN on June 14, 2015, 02:19:21 am

sweet, thanks for the info, definitely gonna buy a kit from you now :D. i noticed on your site you sell plexi sheets for the marquee and screen sections, are those easy to install or do additional modifications need to be made for all that? also, do you have smoked plexi? i'd love smoked plexi for the main screen cover area. Will be purchasing on the first, :D i havent decided whether to build an itx pc or just toss an alienware alpha in there yet, but it will def be something. any idea what cpu/gpu would be needed for good performance? would an i3 with intel graphics do it?

I can get smoked plexi for the bezel.
As far as your pc question, I'm not the one to ask, but there are many here who could help. I tend to use old old pc's with old versions of MAME myself.

Best kit for a 21.3" 4:3 lcd that also has enough room in the back for a standard atx de-cased pc?
- The lcd is 18.7" (W) x 15.0" (H) and would be used Horizontal/Landscape.
Oh and is there a 1 player 8 button + trackball option with any of the cabs (would it require a smaller trackball, like a 2" model, or still too deep)?

I find the trackball (as mouse) to be a great addition when using a pc.

So. The best bet for that monitor would probably be my new Big Red kit (not yet in store). It could handle your monitor, 1 player 8 button setup, and that 2" trackball.

Also curious... what is approximate cost with full art/plexi/t-molding (just like your render) if available?

So, kit should come in around ~$160 based on the size.
Plexi: $40
Art printed: ~$80 (sides, laminated CPO, marquee)
Marquee retainers: $15
T-molding: $10
VESA Screws: $3
Shipping: ~$45 (fully insured FedEx Home)
I'm still futzing with mine, but I think it's ready. Just need to write up the installation instructions.

awesome, thanks!.... and i keep thinking of more questions >.<.... i can't find a good source of information about trying to do LED lighting on a JLF stick and on sanwa/seimetsu screwbuttons, you wouldnt happen to know a place to shop and what parts i should be getting to make this happen would you? or anyone else, information would be greatly appreciated here. Trying to get all my ducks in a row so i can buy the right things to make this cab a reality, and theres just so much crap out there, and not nearly so much information to match it lol.

I'm loving the kit. As soon as I finish the build I will add a review.
For some reason the back was just a few millimeters too large to fit. I was able to sand it down and get it in, but I thought you should know.

Well that was fast, i am not allowed to reply back to personal messages dunno why. Some questions, the file you send me will open with any cnc software? I ll take it to a guy so i don't know his programs. Also which type of monitor that build takes? Thanks
You need to have 5 posts to reply to PM's.
It's a DWG (autocad) file. Drawing is in inches. Your CNC guy should be able to import it into whatever software he is using to cut.
This one can take up to a 23" widescreen monitor (there is 22" of space available horizontally)
Post by: HaRuMaN on July 16, 2015, 02:50:21 pm
Ah , just read on your website it takes a 23 inch monitor.. Mine is 17inch, best case scenario i can find a 19inch :/
23" is just the max size.
Alternately, you could take my single player plans (1st post in this thread) and modify it with a 2 player panel. The single player works well with 17" monitor.

Just purchased my widescreen kit last night.
This will be my first build ever. Gonna do a RetroPie build since i'm already comfortable working with Raspberry Pi.
I just joined the forum and if someone could have Malenko PM me, that would be great. I'd love to commission him to do the art for my kit.
Thanks for the purchase! I have pointed Malenko in your direction. :cheers:

First off, I see that you're saying a 17" is recommended, but that a 19" would work.. have any specific model of 19" that will go in this? I want to maximize viewing.
Second, what are the dimensions of the marquee and bezel, and where can I find someone to do a custom one for me. This one is actually gonna be for a friend of mine from work and will be going into his mancave/bar. I'm thinking Hyperspin this time around instead of AtomicFE like I used in my sons.

OK, so I just ordered the Degentron, T-molding, Marquee, Bezel, retaining clips, etc. I have a couple of questions before this all arrives and I start on a new project.

Typically a Dell 19" 4:3. As long as the width of the monitor is less than or equal to 17.7", you should be fine.
Malenko here can help you out. I'll let him know you're looking for art. The marquee is 17.75" x 4.5", top & bottom half inch should be black bars, leaving 3.5" view-able. The bezel is 17.75" x 14.25".

1) Thinking a 6 button each 2 player setup will be fine. Am I missing something by not going with the extra two buttons? I know some games will benefit from it, but do I really need for games that I may not play?
2) Why do people add admin buttons? Thinking after I set this puppy up right, they won't be used enough to warrant them being added. If anything, I could add usb to the case and connect a keyboard and mouse for any "administrative" tasks. Or I could use "shift" function that Ipac has.
3) Maybe this is a question specifically for Haruman: I see the area where the speakers go, but it looks like your choice is to connect both speakers inside the the marquee with all sound going through the holes. I plan on a specific color scheme and would like to paint my speaker grills and have them exposed. Anyway I could have the speaker holes recessed, so the grills are seen, but flush with the body? I've seen a few cabs with this look and I quite like it.
That's it for now I believe. I'm sure there will be more, but I'm hoping I can get answers from other places.
Thanks in advance...

No, you do not have to install admin buttons if you don't want to. On my very first build years ago, I installed them because the iPac back then wasn't capable of the shift function that it is capable of now. With my son's cabinet, I left the admin buttons out and use the shift function. The iPac will program on the fly now, so setting buttons to do different things is really easy. My son's is a cocktail type cabinet and his is setup like this:
Left side button is PAUSE>shift 2nd player start
Fire button 1 shift=TAB
Fire button 3 shift=F3 (reset)
Fire button 4 shift=Vol down
Fire button 6 shift=Vol up
Right side button is ENTER>shift ESC
These are the most common admin buttons you would use and they all come together in a neat little package, works perfect with the AtomicFE frontends default settings. I was originally going to install admin buttons as well on the side of the cabinet.. that was before I found out the new generation iPac's use the shift function.
Now on the one I bought from HaRuMaN however (The Degenatron)... I WILL be installing admin buttons in the front because the holes are already there. On the Widescreen Bartop, if you look at the image, you will also have those buttons pre drilled.. of course you don't HAVE TO use them as admin buttons, you could use them as extra buttons or even fill it in with some LED's or something.

What are the benefits of running a PS3 or XBOX 360 as the main system instead of custom built PC? Obvious thoughts are having the ability to play those system games as I believe emulation for these systems is still undeveloped. Am I missing anything? For those that have went this route, are you able to run Hyperspin; as well as emulators for other systems? Please explain pro and cons of going console in cabinet route.
Thanks in advance.

I have an Xbox 360 in mine, I swap discs for various fighting games and shmups. Mine isn't modded, but you could theoretically put a modded one in there to avoid swapping discs. I'm not sure of what else is out there for a modded 360.

Hi Haruman,
Is that just a glossy silver? Where did you get the buttons, sticks and t-molding for this? Thanks

So it's a chrome T-molding if that's what you are asking.
I got the T-molding at T-molding.com:

Very easy to put together, but there are some considerations to be had before you just "GO FOR IT". First of all, you'll probably want to pre-mount the speakers/amp before gluing everything together. Otherwise, that's a pretty tight space to try working with. Also, note the bottom button ADMIN CP layout depth. If using something like HAPP buttons, you are probably going to have them banging into each other and will more than likely need to use spacers. PLAN AHEAD for this!! My personal recommendation and what I will be doing when I build another one, is to buy one WITHOUT the 3 extra holes drilled at the bottom and just use the "SHIFT" function of an iPac 2 and just program your admin buttons into the regular buttons. This will enable you to put the CP on using HAPP type buttons and joystick without bumping into anything up front. I was able to squeeze a 19.1" monitor in this cabinet with no problem at all. I used an ASUS VW199T-P. It is also noted that this kit it totally worth getting the extra T-molding and plexi glass bezel/marquee to go with it. I went a step further with the bezel plexi and tinted the glass using a 20% darkening tint (Wal-Mart®™). Using black duct tape around the monitor's bezel, then installing the tinted Plexiglas bezel gives this cabinet a sweet looking appearance and hides the monitor buttons, lights and branding.

Post by: yotsuya on October 11, 2015, 09:48:41 pm
On the front buttons, I use Ultimarc GoldLeaf buttons. They fit the Happ hole, they look like Happs from the top, but under the CP is where they shine.
Post by: monkeybomb on October 12, 2015, 01:34:10 pm
The front panel buttons caused an issue for me as well. I eventually realized that I had some shallow buttons from a used CP and it changed the situation quite a bit. Using a shift key is a nice solution as well.
Guys, how did you secure the control panel? I went with one of the velcro suggestions from somewhere in this thread and I would like to improve it. Also curious to see some of the solutions for getting a power cable into the unit. I ended up just drilling a hole in the bottom.

As small as the cabinet is, with a little tweaking to the design, you could actually fit a PC and a second console in it. I'm pretty tempted to attempt this next time around. I'm thinking I can do something else with those admin button cut out as well... like for instance, stick the USB port there instead.
What would also be nice to see, are included hinges with starter holes pre drilled, and perhaps a magnetic latch for the door.
And yeah, I also went with velcro on the CP. I debated drilling holes and screwing it down, maybe some hinges, even nailing it into the batons... said to hell with it and went velcro instead. That doesn't make it very secure IMO, but it will do for now.

Post by: monkeybomb on October 12, 2015, 03:39:19 pm
So, I've been slowly compiling design changes, and have been testing out some new hardware to make these kits better... :)
Some changes are in the works! :cheers:
I definitely don't want the suggestions to take away from what the cabinet offers. If no changes are made at all, I still plan on getting another one. The obstacles are space in the living room and time. At some point my children will need to understand that making room for my toys is just as important as making room for theirs. ;D
If you are looking to improve design, the CP mounting is probably the place, but adding to the instructions would go a lot further than design changes for me. FWIW I have the Golden Age Vertical and the kit didn't really cause the hurdles as much as I did. Idiot proof instructions are the solution for that.
Pick what you think is the best way to mount the CP and put the recommendation in the instructions. If people want to do something else, they will. You can add the early speaker mounting and goldleaf type button recommendations if you agree with those. In the end, I liked the option of putting the hole for the cable where I wanted, but it's another spot where officially giving your opinion would be nice, The way to keep the back on is another. I used the same velcro as the cp and it works well.

Don't think it is painted - they cut white Melamine panels that already had the white surface and covered the exposed areas with the t-molding.

On the "admin" panel (vertical, front) there's holes for 6 buttons, 3 under each player. What would be recommended for these, probably for a Pandora's Box (most likely) or a Mini-ITX MAME setup (later)?
I can see having Player 1/2 and Coin 1/2, but what would some of you recommend for the 3rd button on each side? I did a CP a few years ago and have pause, menu (tab), and enter, but the grouping would look strange like that. I have no problems drilling extra holes as necessary and prefer to keep the non-standard controls separate from the rest, but blanks always looked odd (not to mention they seem to cost more than actual buttons ;D).

Was kind of designed with MAME in mind, so a Pause and Exit button as well.
That being said, if you only want 2 on each side, let me know when you order, and I can change it. No charge for modifications like that. :cheers:

Problem is, I have almost no experience with any of this with the exception of using RetroPie. Based on what i've read through the tons of pages on this thread, i'm thinking of going with the ipac-2 controller, but i'm at a loss for what buttons and other accessories I should go with. I'd like to emulate 05SRT4's build as much as possible.
Any advice you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone,

Start by reading my review of it:
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,147711.0.html (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,147711.0.html)
That should help you choose the right buttons for you.
The Goldleaf buttons that yotsuya talks about can be found here: http://www.ultimarc.com/goldleaf.html (http://www.ultimarc.com/goldleaf.html)
Speaking of which, Haruman, you should put an option on your website so that the buyer can choose with or without admin CP button holes. Would save you time on the drilling, and people wouldn't have to contact you to request it. I'd have at least 1 button for the admin CP on the right side though. There is nothing that it will get in the way of over there. Then a person could go coin and start on top, and pause on the admin CP, everything else, into the iPac shift function.

Yes. I'm working on having more customization available from the main order page to make it smoother. Have incorporated materials already, control panel layouts should be next.

I'm think of buying my first kit from haruman. I was leaning towards the Ultimate Widescreen kit. Does anyone know if the OMNI2 joysticks and the Spectra Eclipse push buttons will fit with default control panel or would I have get it custom routed and cut.
Thanks in advanced

I would need to change the control panel for those, but that's easy enough, and no extra charge. :cheers:

Has anyone ripped the buttons and joysticks out of an Xarcade and put them in one of Haruman's kits? I'm tired of stumbling over my half-completed bartop every time I walk in my work room and not actually playing any games... esp. since it's winter here now and I know I won't work on it anymore until next Spring/Summer... So I think a Haruman kit would be a good christmas present to the family (er... myself)
No reason that couldn't be done, Xarcade joysticks and buttons are basically Happ clones.

Cool - thanks for the quick response! Another quick question: since the last time I looked at these you added material options. Do most people get one of the melamine options over the MDF? Would the MDF be if I wanted to prime and paint myself?
I'd say 80% get the black melamine. However, if you do want to prime & paint yourself, MDF is definitely the way to go.

The control panel you made in this picture might work, or something like it. Put some legs on the bottom from Ikea, so it stands alone, and then put a TV stand of some kind (ikea hack or something) right up to it. I probably want several of these, so can't go too nuts on price--but your prices seem very good. I would want a Sega one, a Nintendo one, etc.
Thoughts anyone?

Having it sent to work (going to love the look on the receptionist's face when a 40 pound flat box shows up.... This will be for my 3rd build.

Love the stands. I want to build a pedestal that has shelves like this, I think it'll fit the decor much better than a closed up box.That's probably the ONLY way I see a stand making sense for a bartop.

Not yet, but wouldn't be very difficult to do so.

He's done a couple projects for me and I have a couple more coming up in the spring that I'll be needing his assistance on. Quality work indeed.
Here's some samples of his work for the Degenetron Bartop.

Haruman, you have any designs for a Juke-Box cabinet? Might be a good idea to try. I know I've been kinda looking into doing my very own jukebox, and well, my woodworks sucks. But a kit would be awesome.... pair it up with the pedestal, and I could have one setup in my entertainment room in the basement. Same dimensions as a double wide would be great. I'm thinking of sticking a Sony 5.1 surround sound system using Optical input for a super clean signal. I have no problem with a bare MB, just don't want to destroy a receiver that much to make it fit somewhere smaller. ;D.
I've toyed around with the idea... never actually put anything to paper though.
Give me some ideas of monitors, speakers, etc and I'll see what I can come up with. :cheers:
Post by: Phreakwars on January 06, 2016, 05:53:02 pm
That would take someone else's input who is familiar with touch screens. I wouldn't know where to begin. They come in so many sizes too. I'm thinking a minimum of 20" monitor with 6.5" speaker ports on the side or up front. Don't know what others envision, but I'd like to use the the jukebox as the center channel and right left speakers, and hook up surround sound and sub to the back of it with a rack for my receiver (SONY DAV-DZ170 BRAVIA 5.1 Surround Theater System). I suppose I could use the stock speakers too. Either way. I'm thinking of 2 different type designs... one where the speakers mount in the front, and another where they blast out the sides. I imagine the one with speakers up front would be made for smaller monitor sizes.Haruman, you have any designs for a Juke-Box cabinet? Might be a good idea to try.

Love your work, Haruman! I saw the kit Peabo bought from you back in October and the Mr. Do BARTOP project and pretty much swooned. I have been wanting to get my husband a Mr. Do arcade setup and his birthday is coming up next month.
You all are inspiring me to maayyyybe try to build it.
I feel confident I could put a kit like yours together. Have seen some great artwork in the forums here that I can see myself using for the build, too, and I am pretty creative.

I got the same kit and love it. As you can see I fudged up a couple of times trying to figure it out as well. I am still not sure if I installed it the intended way but it works and I am very happy with it. I dont think you would even need the 90 degree brackets I used, I kind of went screw happy on it. Haruman did a great job with these kits. The cocktail is usually the most played when I have people over.

Hey this is a major help and explains a lot I dont have any pieces of wood that look like that. I may stop buy my local menards and buy a cheap shelve board and see if they will cut it down to size I need.

Any interest in a "deluxe" kit ready to ship? Has tinted plexi for the bezel, also includes plexi marquee, marquee retainers, VESA screws, and your choice of black, white, blue, or red T-molding.
To purchase this kit from the shop would be $243 + shipping, will let it go for $200 + shipping.
LMK!

Don't use an online viewer, go and grab DraftSight (free). It's what I use to draw these, and you will see all lines are there.
Ah okay thanks!
A few other questions:
What are people doing about covering the edges of the tv (like an overlay to go over the fron on all parts but the display)?
What are people using regarding glass to go on top of that (if anything?)

Black tape/Black duct tape around the edges of the monitor combined with a light window tint film on the glass/plastic overlay.

Guys any tips on mounting the joysticks? I bought the widescreen and trying to mount sanawa jlf. How do I make sure it is centered? Thanks
Place the joystick underneath the panel. Look down at it from the top. You should be able to line up the joystick hole with the joystick.
Hold it tightly once you have it lined up, flip everything over, and use a pencil to mark where the mounting plate holes go. Pre-drill some holes, and attach your JLF.

To follow up on this (and sorry if this is a noob question), what type of screw do you recommend using with your models (and a sanwa jlf joystick) to attach to the control panel? Since the top of the screws will be visible on top of the CP, do people tend to use a flatter head bolt or more of a carriage bolt? I didn't get any screws with my jlf's, so it's off to home depot with me, and I was hoping for some clarification... thanks!
I would just use a 1/2" wood screw and do it from the bottom, nothing visible from the top.

Getting back into a new cabinet build after about 12 years since my last. Went smaller this time with one of Harumans cool widescreen bartop kits.
What is the best direction to go as far as finding someone to help me with some custom art design? I know a few in this thread appear to have in the past helped out but wasnt sure who was still doing that.
Willing to pay of course for the time and talent. Photoshop and I hate each other. ;D

Post by: spedinfargo on May 21, 2016, 11:52:00 am
1. There is a slot for each of the two control panel batons. However, the baton itself isn't long enough to fill the whole slot. Do you slide the baton closer to the front of the cabinet or the back of the cabinet before gluing it or does it not really matter? See attached picture for what I mean...
2. I understand that the back panel is held either by a hinge or velcroing. But what is that back slot for? It's not as deep as the other five so I'm not sure what it's for. See the other picture for what I'm talking about.
Thanks!
Post by: HaRuMaN on May 21, 2016, 12:02:09 pm
The long batons go in the shallow slots on the back, they just prevent the back door from getting pushed in.

Just center the batons in the slot, doesn't need to be super precise on those.

So I do have some threaded inserts I've been playing with, they mount from the bottom and you just screw into them. I press them into the control panels with an arbor press.
I'm considering making them a standard feature (or maybe an optional one), it would add a little cost due to the hardware.

I was thinking about attaching the back panel using only 4 magnets, no hinge. Basically I would attach two vertical wooden handles (you'll understand when you see the theme) to the back of the door so I can just pull the door off the back and set it aside if I need to get into the machine. The magnets need to be strong enough to hold the door on by themselves, though.
Considering these: https://www.amazon.com/Extra-Strong-High-Magnetic-Catch/dp/B009ZTQUPQ/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1466177553&sr=8-8&keywords=cabinet+magnets (https://www.amazon.com/Extra-Strong-High-Magnetic-Catch/dp/B009ZTQUPQ/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1466177553&sr=8-8&keywords=cabinet+magnets)

That should work, although it seems like a little overkill, you could probably get away with smaller latches.
Yeah, thats why i haven't pulled the trigger yet. The magnetic latches I saw at the local hardware places all seemed very weak so I wanted to find something slightly heavier duty than the standard ones.

Frankly, I'd go straight ahead and buy a pre-cut cab from you, but I live on the other side (Europe) and the shipping would cost me a fortune and money is tight now eh. :) So I decided to find a local cnc guy and try my luck. :)
Since I haven't bought a cab directly from you, I still hope I'm eligible for some forum help if I come across any "gotchas"

I've recently gotten access to a CNC machine and I am hoping to get one of these built up.
I'm hoping to extend the width by 10 cm or so, so I can fit 2 players and a 19" dell monitor. Not too worried about being "cramped" as the target audience are my kids :)

Hey there. Good luck! I also have the widescreen version posted on the first page, it's already wider and 2 players. Don't know if you saw that one or not. :cheers:
Post pics!
I did see that, but it's too wide for me. I want to put a 5:4 screen in and I feel the WS version will look too odd with excess bezel on the sides
I'll definitely post pics once it's all done (it'll be a while, I need to try and learn how to modify this in solidworks or something equivalent). Configuring the retropie atm to make sure it's perfect once it goes in to the bartop.
I think I'm also going to want to modify the panel a bit so it's Sanwa OBSF30/OBSN30 and JLF compatible with the correct 25mm height.

Yes. Ouch is a great way to explain it.
After spending a few hours yesterday trying to muck around in solidworks, I realised even though I have access to a CNC, I have no way of being able to edit the file :)
The thought crossed my mind about getting one shipped over here to Sydney. After all the mods, I'd want, it'll end up costing a pretty penny :)
How customisable are the control panel options?

Special thanks to Haruman and Malenko for the kit and the sweet ass artwork :cheers:
Currently running a 412 in 1 which I don't recommend. I think it's worse than a 60 in 1. I'm going to replace it soon with either a PC or an ArcadeSD within the next couple of months.
Edit: More details - I used goldleaf buttons on the panel and a Sanwa JLW. The panel is kind of tight on the minitendo kit so I'd definitely recommend the goldleafs. They feel great in gameplay too. The JLW was a hard fit. I had to bend some of the switch pins to get it to work ok, but it's fine. I used a 15" Dell and that's really the best size to use in this kit. You can see everything ok even with the bezel art. It would be hard to see everything with a 17".
Thanks again guys ;D. Now I want to see someone do a Donkey Kong 3. That would be rad. Now onto the widescreen kit I got at the same time. I want to finish all my projects before ZapCon!

Did a pedestal ever make it into the mix here?
So there's been a few pedestals for the bartops... and then there have been a couple of actual pedestals. I'm also currently working on a 4P player pedestal for a customer.

I've ordered all of the pieces for a Haruman Minitendo-based Pac-Man themed kit. I went with Ultimarc MagStick and Goldleafs, a 15" Dell E157FP, and an ArcadeSD board.
I am stuck on what to do for a speaker, though. It looks like I'll only have ~3.25" to work with. What did you use?

It fit pretty good. Drill holes to attach one side before you glue up the kit to make it easy to secure the speaker later. It's offset to one side of the grill but you can't see it from the outside.

I'll be buying The Degenatron soon. I just have some questions. What buttons would work best for the control panel and the admin? Also if I got a switchable joy stick would I have enough room to reach under the control panel to switch it from 4 to 8 way? If not Id just get a happ joystick that is 8 wayI got nothing to add, I just wanted to state I love the username booty900.

Happ or IL style buttons. For the admin, short buttons are best, like Ultimarc Gold Leafs.
You'd have to pull the panel up or go through the back to switch. Going through the back would be difficult I would think.

Now I have a different question. I just looked at The Offender bartop. I don't know much about control panels. But it looks like it is for 2 joysticks. So could I have a 4 way on the left and an 8 way on the right? And would a 17" monitor fit in the offender? And are happ controls for that one too?
It's for a multi-williams setup but you could do that with the joysticks for sure. And yes, 17" monitor will fit and it is made for Happ / IL buttons.

Hey there. So you need 2 Sanwa JLF joysticks, 16 x Sanwa OBSN 30mm, and 6 x Sanwa OBSN 24mm. (OBSN are the screw in type)

Nice theme. Can you provide some info on the artwork and how it was printed?
Sure. The designs are all mine but I did get a little photoshop/InDesign assistance from a few friends. The logos on the bezel were pulled from the NHL 94 matchup screen and the images on the front and CP were screenshots pulled from a game of NHL 94 running on Fusion. The art was printed by Bowman signs in Milford, CT (Lucian045 here on byoac). Brad is awesome and does lots of arcade and pin printing. The CP has a polycarbonate coat on it for protection. Looks and feels amazing. We reverse printed the bezel and marquee so we get that nice shiny look of the plexi. Fits with the theme, reminds me of the glass above the boards in a hockey rink.

Can someone advise on a hinge solution for the back door? I bought some little hinges but they aren't working. I have the stock kit with the hinge tabs and door stops.

Been emailing Lee about some different things and don't want to keep bothering him.
Anyone have a place they recommend for joysticks and buttons and USB board to run them? Was thinking about the package of sanwa joysticks with buttons to fit 28 mm diameter button holes from another site. It comes with 20 buttons, two sticks and the USB encoder as well as an image to flash for RaspPi setup for the button assignments.
Anyone have any other suggestions? THANKS!!
Post by: soonerdoc on February 24, 2017, 12:10:04 am
Do the Sanwa push buttons or screw in buttons work better with Haruman's kits, or is it just personal preference.
Also if you want to customize a couple of things do you place the order than contact Haruman's or do they need to be notified first?

I don't share the plans for the ultimate widescreen, sorry.
Also, the plans I just do up in autocad (like the ones on the front page) and they are imported into VCARVE PRO by my CNC guy...
Industrial grade cutting board would be interesting. I have thought about cutting one in ABS or acrylic before, just have never done it.
Current turnaround times are 4-5 weeks. :cheers:

I am looking into ordering a cocktail kit for a friend. I will be doing the build but I don't have any experience with cocktail cabs. I notice yours is designed for a 4:3 monitor. Another vendor makes one for a 16:9 monitor. I played around with cocktail mode a bit on one of my mame cabs (which uses a 4:3 monitor) and it seems to work well for head to head games. Is there any reason to consider a 16:9 for a cocktail? Seems to me that you would either have black bars for most games and you would need to futz around with scaling for head to head. The only advantage to 16:9 that I can think of would be for pinball emulation. Am I missing anything?
Thanks :)

Is there any templates for the Ultimate Widescreen that can be used in Adobe AI or CS6 so we can come up with our own art. I noticed the CNC plans for the entire bartop but nothing with individual pieces to put art on. Thanks.

16:9 is more available, that would be the only reason I would think.
However, the 4:3 Dell 2001 or 2007 FP are still easy to find, and are 20.1" 4:3 with excellent viewing angles.

Here is the CL listing https://albany.craigslist.org/sys/6036537846.html
From the picture it looks like a 2001fp - but the front controls are different...the 2001fp has a power button and four additional menu buttons - this one has a power button and 3... Seller hasnt got back to me to be sure...
EDIT - so I did some more searching on ebay and looking at pictures of monitors. Also went to wikipedia. Dell did not make a2005fp as you stated. The 2001fp - interestingly - seems to have come with one of two different front control layouts. So this one must be a 2001fp afterall....so if the seller ever gets back to me I am going to try and snag this one. :)

Admin panel has 2 30mm Sanwas on either side, and cutouts in the middle for 2 NovaGem (by Groovy Game Gear).
Back door has a single cutout for a 120mm fan, and speaker panel has 2 3" round cutouts for speakers.
Any one interested? Can do it kit only, or can do a "deluxe" kit with monitor / bezel plexi, retainers, T-molding, & VESA screws.

So I am interested in one of these for my widescreen just have a few questions
1) Do you know how tall this makes the cabinet stand ? like from floor to approx where control panel would be
2) Can it be modified so the stand is wider then the Cabinet instead of narrower?
3) About how much would it cost and what is expected lead time on it?

Have you done any stand-up cabinets in the past that take a 23"/24" LCD and have a control panel about the width of that Vewlix? The CP looks to be about the size I'd want, since I'd like a 2-player setup but also have a trackball in the middle and a spinner up towards the top and centered more or less.

Personally, can't go wrong with the Sanwa OSBN (screw type). Keep in mind your kit has been cut for 30mm buttons X 16, and 24mm buttons X 6, all screw type. Joystick hole mounting pattern is the typical Sanwa JLF (another great all around stick, IMO).
thanks for the advice! i was looking into the IL push buttons since they have a wider color selection that i have seen. but from my 8bitdo fightstick experience im a little hesitate on sanwa parts. i believe my fight stick doesnt have real sanwa parts but if they are legit then im just disappointed on how they have been performing for me.
oh yeah, package has been delivered! still ironing out on which cpu to go with for my build on this cabinet.

They will work as long as you use shortened buttons for the admin CP. Otherwise, they will bang into each other.
He has the Ultimate Widescreen. No buttons on the admin.

Personally I love the real Sanwa stuff, but for sure, the knock offs can really not feel right.
i finally started to assemble this cabinet but i havent ordered my buttons, joystick or control board. will these buttons work?

While those buttons will fit, they are a little small (~28mm) for the holes (30mm).

the drawing on the right shows the width of the outer most ring at 33mm unless im reading it incorrectly.

as for the admin buttons, wouldnt the 3 buttons above the 1st and 2nd player be considered admin buttons if i set them that way?

Yes - what they were talking about is on some models the admin buttons are on the front panel under the Control panel and are put in place sideways from the front of the system - and the longer buttons wind up hitting the Joystick/other buttons - so for those you need to use shorter length buttons.
for example the 6 buttons on the normal widescreen model

Finished! Big thanks to everyone on the forum, as well as other forums on the web, and haruman of course! Ran through metal slug 2 (literally) cause I finally had a few minutes to give the arcade a somewhat lengthy test run. 32 continues, but it was for science! By far the biggest challenge was rocket launcher and hyper spin. Thanks all!

I was wondering if the bartops can be mounted to the wall? I wanted to buy a 2 player bar top box and then put a jamma pandora 4s fighter stickbox.. can this be done as I see you have cut outs already but I rather get one of these bozlxes that already come with all the hardware and games.

You could probably mount to the wall. I wouldn't do that with the melamine / mdf version though, I would only do that with the birch plywood one.

Decided to try to tackle one of the Haruman bartop kits. Trying to decide between the Ultimate Widescreen or the WIDESCREEN EVO XR 2. Hoping for something that can accommodate 2 adults playing Street Fighter 2 comfortably. Plan on using a 24" 16:9 monitor or a 23" 16:10.

I decided to go with the widescreen XR, and Haruman's post convinced to go with a trackball also.
Planning for iL Eurostick joysticks and iL or Happ 28mm buttons and a 3" Utrak.
I think I'll use an ipac-2 for the controls unless someone has a better suggestion. Initially using a Pi3, maybe eventually a PC.

For un drilled cp's what's the best way to cut the button holes? I have a 24mm forstner bit but I'm not sure how well that would work with melamine.
What size speaker does this take, 3"? And does anyone have a recommendation on a particular one and a corresponding amp?
How thick is the plexi bezel and how is it installed/held in place?
And lastly: how do you handle lighting the marquee?
Post by: HaRuMaN on December 25, 2017, 03:18:43 pm
Forstner bit works great if you take it slow and have sacrificial wood underneath.

Yeah! I decided to get with a HP LP2065 (4x3) 20" monitor. Most of the retro gaming I'll be enjoying is 4x3. However, I'm still lusting over more modern widescreen games like Tekken 7. I'll just deal with the "letterboxing."
Post by: HaRuMaN on January 08, 2018, 03:29:01 pm
Yeah the EVO is set up with 4:3 in mind.
However the EVO widescreen can do up to a 24" widescreen.

I'm so glad you take extra care when packaging your products for shipment. FedEx doesn't apparently feel the same way, but at least nothing inside the box was damaged!

They seem be to extra brutal as of late. I recently assembled a bartop and shipped it to the customer... luckily the customer had security cameras on the driveway, he provided me with video of the driver slamming the package to the concrete... after dropping it on another box in the truck and crushing that box.
Amazingly, FedEx didn't fight me on that claim. ::)

Ordered some EZ-Lok press-fit inserts to undermount my iL Eurosticks and will have to figure out how to install the threaded inserts that came with the Ultimarc U-trak.
Just bought a 2'x2'x 1/2" scrap piece of MDF from Home Depot to practice on.
Post by: busbeepbeep on February 01, 2018, 08:49:36 pm
Finally got some time to work on this. I got everything glued together. Here it is standing up, and I have the Control Panel sitting on there as a dry fit with the weight holding it in place.
Except I discover there's interference for what is planned to be the Start and Coin buttons on both sides.
What's my best remedy?
Also, the kit came with 2 magnetic latches. ARe they both for the control panel or is one for the back cover? The back doesn't have a latch piece like the Ultimate Widescreen instructions show.

Just cut enough of it off to have room for the button nuts to fit in place and it should not show once the CP is placed on ( think that panel was designed for a different button layout ( like the pic below ) and in moving them he probably forgot to check the clearance )

Just need a proper printed marquee and I should be good to go. Looks like the marquee area is 23"x5", whereas most prints sold online seem to be design for 23x8" or 23x9". Also plan to add speakers and an amp, but the LCD has built-in speakers that are getting the job done for now.
Used a black posterboard to make a bezel to hide the LCD as someone else had suggested somewhere in this thread. It was a bit of an arts and crafts project going back and forth with masking tape on the plexi and measuring.
I need to start a proper project build thread. Maybe I'll wait til I get a marquee.

How much would you charge for a floor standing base to sit the bartop on? Along with a customized bartop...
I would like to have a control panel layout very similar to the recent pics on this page (centered trackball plus two player)
I would however like to use a 20.1" 4:3 monitor (possibly vertically?? With a taller style/classic/galaga like design - but now I'm probably just getting crazy - sorry)
(Also - I would like pinball flipper buttons on the side)
Can you provide plexiglass (control panel, monitor bezel, marquee) how about tmolding? Can you provide vinyl graphics?
Would this all be possible? How much?
Thank you !
Sorry if this isn't the correct place or method to ask.
*updated/edited- actually hmm... can i fit a 20.1" 4x3 into your EVO XR2 [widescreen] ?? oh wow - upon closer inspection it seems that to my surprise - a 24" monitor is actually taller than a 20.1 4x3! wow- sorry I'm a bit all over the place -- maybe I should just go with your widescreen model and use one of my Apple Cinema Displays [older 23" models]
what are the monitor dimensions in the EVO XR2 wide? [I want to know maximum height and depth -you list the width as 23" on your site] - [I'm concerned about depth too because my display apparently needs what seems to be a deep adapter to work with a mount/vesa - maybe I should just buy a nice new 24" monitor ;-) ]
so - the wide model also has a bigger control panel - seems no problem to add that centered trackball --- what about adding a spinner centered up top too?? too crazy??
Post by: busbeepbeep on February 25, 2018, 12:54:26 am
Ultimate Widescreen: 26.25" H, 21.5" D, 24" W
Regular Widescreen: 21.45" H, 18.6" D, 23.0" W
Evo XR2 Widescreen: 27.5" H, 21" D, Width (Main Cabinet - 24") (Control Panel - 27.65")
I’m using a Benq RL2455 on the eco wide and there’s about 1/2” clearance on each side.
I don’t know what the backside of a spinner looks like but I’m pretty sure you can find room for one. That control panels is roomy.
Post by: Inphonet on February 25, 2018, 11:04:33 pm
Here are the dimensions I gathered in my research....
Thanks - I appreciate the input... Have you had a chance to play with your's yet?? It looks awesome! Do you find the trackball cramped with the nearby joystick at all? Did you succeed in lining up a vendor for art? I'm wondering what the cost is if you don't mind sharing that info
I'm anxious to order and start building - I'm really hoping to hear back from Haruman soon (I did send him an email etc)

Nothing so far on art. Just need a marquee. May order something generic from ebay like this until I come up with a better design. https://www.ebay.com/itm/162917620352?ViewItem=&item=162917620352 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/162917620352?ViewItem=&item=162917620352)Wasn't planning on any side art.

Me. Well, future me. A couple weeks ago I had an idea for a project (something absurd enough that it might get me excommunicated from this forum lol) and I've been plugging away at the art ever since, just to see if it's something I'd want to do, but the marquee has been a blindspot and I've kinda been working in the dark on it.

I ordered a single player Degenatron quite some time ago and lost my psd files. The whole package was actually sitting safely stored away until I just recently began to build it and it is coming out nice ( =
Is there any chance someone could point me to where to obtain the correct PSD's so I can make some art for my machine? I did find some templates posted from a long time ago but was wondering if they were actually good as the poster was unsure as well.
I am also looking into purchasing a Ultimate Widescreen sometime in the near future.....looks sweet!!!
I would just like to finish the cab I have first and cannot do much art wise without the files....looking for a PSD with the sideart , cpo, admin panel below cpo and even marquee.....if one exists for the back door that would be awesome too.

I’ve been searching for either a bartop or controller kit (or two) for some time, but my problem is that I haven’t been able to find the button layout I want. I don’t need a ton of buttons as I don’t play fighting games. I’d like to have a control panel laid out sort of like Moon Patrol. My intent is to have a four way ball joystick in the middle, two buttons on either side, and 1 and 2 player buttons, and maybe a credit button. Do you have something that can accommodate this? Thanks much in advance!

Any number of kits could. Maybe Offender or Berzerker?

I need black melamine comparable to what you make your cabs out of except in 3/4" and a nice finished plywood. I've listed both below. I know there are not Menards in AZ but I'm sure you know of a supply chain close by.

so what other monitors are good for the cocktail kit? trying to see who else bought that kit and used another (preferbly new) monitor
Was wondering if a 20" CRT TV would fit in this after decasing.
would also probably need some extra vertical bracing for the weight of the TV if i go with the 1/2 non Baltic birch option.

Seriously considering getting one of your cocktail kits.
Does one of the wood grain melamine you have match the original Pacman cocktail wood grain?
It looks like the back in this model is split for the hinging side&top, is that correct?
Do you carry the glass as well?
Thanks,
-Charles
Post by: HaRuMaN on August 20, 2018, 01:13:08 pm
And yes the back is designed to be hinged.
I do not carry the glass but it is easily found, it's the replacement glass with the 3.5" radius corners.

I do those 0.1" deep.

How the heck do I arrange shipping? Isn't it easier if he just bills me?
What other option do I have if I want a full size? I guess I could build a frame but that would take time.
Best option is to find someone local to do the cutting - the problem with full size cabs is most shippers will charge a lot extra for packages over 4' in any dimension since it takes up so much room on their truck - so it costs more than most people are willing to pay just for the shipping (often more than the cab itself ) -- CHeck your local area for a makers space that you could sign up to for a month or so and use their CNC machine ( or go there and see if they would be willing to cut it for you for a small fee ) or a business that has a CNC machine that would cut it for you for a fee (ie. a cabinet maker, etc. that has a CNC machine)- check your local Craigslist and see if any CNC shops offer services - etc.
The reason you will not find many cheap places that sell them is because the shipping can run several hundred dollars - since they are oversize/overweight for most carriers and if/when it gets damaged in shipping replacing a damaged piece means paying again for shipping making it a losing proposition to sell them in most cases. ( unless you are charging $1000 + )

So the plans are not scaled, they are full sized, and in inches. Also it is designed for 1/2" material.

In the process (finally!) of figuring out my first bartop arcade machine. From reading through the thread I answered a lot of my questions with using the plans on the first page though what I'm not sure on how to setup my tool paths to run. I understand the part about cutting pockets for the yellow/red in the file but for the outside edges, I assume the bit follows the line directly as opposed to an inside/outside offset. If that's the case, what size bit should be used? I don't either eat away to much material with a bigger bit or leave extra by using a smaller bit. And looking at the file, I guess I would ask the same of the button holes. Should they be cut following the line directly? It wouldn't make sense to cut these as pockets but wanted to verify first.
If anyone is interested, using a Shapeoko XXL and Carbide Create.
Thanks!

Got my order for the EVO mini right before Christmas and the kit looks great. Just now having time to start working on it and was curious if you had assembly instructions for it like you do some of the other kits on your site. Thanks!
Not yet. A few tips though and it will be super easy:
1) Dry fit everything before gluing to make sure you know where it goes
2) Mount your monitor to the monitor mount board before gluing (the monitor mount gets glued in this kit)
3) Mount your speakers (if any, I just used the monitor speakers for my build of this kit) before gluing.
On this kit, the bottom is detachable, it will will connect to small batons on the bottom of the sides, I usually use industrial velcro to hold the bottom on.

Good, I'm not a fan of glue.
Do you still have any cocktail kits.
I guess I'll worry about the controls later. Maybe you can send my blank panel,
and I'll drill the holes myself. Also, maybe I can extend the panels to be longer,
so the controls I wanted can fit properly.

That is absolutely true, but the question didn't mention disassembly.
I've owned 2 original cocktail tables before, and they were a pain in the neck to move,
and to do anything with.
I just gave them away when I finally moved.
even though I'm in a house now, and have plenty of room, if I ever do have to move,
I'd rather be able to take things apart when the time comes.

The control panel adds width. Internal width is 10.5" off the top of my head.

Just wanted to pass on a thanks for sharing your drawings. I was able to cut one out on my cnc after a few modifications. Mainly because the plan was for 0.5" melamine, whereas at Home Depot here in Canada, it's actually 13mm melamine. Doesn't sound like much but it causes the pockets to be too small. First time cutting melamine on it too so I learned about how to avoid chip-out. After a few adjustments, I think it turned out pretty well. Attached is a pic of it just dry fit together.
Thanks again.

I was browsing that Minitendo on the website. So its not clear to me those options for the marquee, bezel, and control panel plastics are you getting just the clear plastic or does it already have the artwork on the plastic?
Just the clear plastic. The art I invoice separately for.
Marquee goes behind the Plexi, bezel is laminated vinyl that you apply to the Plexi, and control panel overlay is laminated vinyl that applies directly to the control panel.

- The kit came with plastic marquee retainers (top and bottom). What should I use to secure them to the cabinet?
- There are vertical batons for the back panel – presumably to make it readily removable. What should I use to fasten the panel to the batons?
- What should I use to secure the control panel to the horizontal (slightly tilted) batons?
Post by: HaRuMaN on January 03, 2021, 10:56:30 am
I usually attach the top of the back door with hinges and use a small piece of velcro to adhere the back door to the batons
Control panel on that kit I usually attach with industrial velcro on the batons and the top of the admin panel. ("paint" the top of the admin panel with a thin layer of glue and wait to dry, then apply velcro. Will stick better that way since it's raw MDF there).

Thanks, Lee! I think I might go with just velcro for the back panel, so it can be removed completely... any reason not to do that if the velcro is strong enough? (I have some velcro rated up to 15 pounds...)
You could do that too.

So sorry to bother you on here.
My 11 year old autistic son is absolutely determined that we build our own Minitendo Donkey Kong bartop, exactly as shown on your website Bartop Kits graphic. I sent you a message via the Contact link on your website, but have not heard back in almost 3 weeks.
Can you give me an idea of the approximate cost to buy the finished cabinet it with all of the DK graphics? I am also wondering if there is enough room to modify the control panel to have six buttons for some Street Fighter fun? I live in Toronto, Canada so I'm also wondering what the shipping/duty costs would be (approximately).
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. I love your stuff and how easy it looks to assemble.
Thank you.

My 11 year old autistic son is absolutely determined that we build our own Minitendo Donkey Kong bartop, exactly as shown on your website Bartop Kits graphic. I sent you a message via the Contact link on your website, but have not heard back in almost 3 weeks.
Can you give me an idea of the approximate cost to buy the finished cabinet it with all of the DK graphics? I am also wondering if there is enough room to modify the control panel to have six buttons for some Street Fighter fun? I live in Toronto, Canada so I'm also wondering what the shipping/duty costs would be (approximately).
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. I love your stuff and how easy it looks to assemble.
Thank you.
I will check my email for your message, I must have missed it.
Thanks!

I don't suppose you have any sit down non-cocktail style cabinets, like either a Japanese style "candy cab", or something like what's in these pictures from Rec Room Masters (which they discontinued, sadly)?
I can't find any company that makes something like this at a reasonable price (under $1000 before shipping).
Ideally, I'd like a cabinet that does NOT house the monitor, but rather has a backmount, so I can install a rotating VESA mount, allowing me to rotate the TV and change between horizontal and vertical games.
I would be happy to pay you to design the files, if I can't get the CNC files from Rec Room Masters.

Any suggestions on ways to secure the control panel? Even if I lose ability to quickly access the internals, that would be ok with me if find a way to way secure the CP and enjoy playing more.
