It's been a while since I've had any content, but I've finally picked back up an old project. Progress may be slow. Shout out to Tully and yots for the inspiration.
The wood ;)

Nice! :cheers:
Love these cabaret builds. Is that white melamine you are building it out of?

That's just pre primed ply wood. Birch maybe?
-
Man, I haven’t been this excited for a build thread in like forever. Good job so far!
-
Im a big fan of Ginger's cousin , Ball Buster, making a cameo!
-
Looking great so far! I love the simple geometry of cabaret cabs. Makes me wanna build another.
-
I tried to use a router for the marquee but my guide didn't work out and it looks like garbage. Gonna have to clean that up.
-
Well progress is ramping. Got most the photoshop done and found a 13inch CRT TV. So this might move to finished sooner than expected.
Here's a small update with the coin door.

So is your CP going to be on the same plane as the bezel area around the monitor? Is it all one piece?

Yes one piece. I will update later with the custom bezel cp.
-
Can someone give me some tips on the no no parts of this so I dont die?
-
Alright got in the monitor. But I think I need to lower the mount about an inch :banghead:
-
You are flying thought this build. Looking good. Love the CRT.
-
Now the monitor isn't showing picture. I can hear it power on but that's it. Got a little jolt fiddling with it.
-
With it turned off, just make sure something didn’t come loose. That happens a lot with the CRTs when you decase them.
-
Looks like I'm back on track. Still adjusting the art files to get ready for printing. Anyone still printing here?
-
I want to make a tully so bad.

Do it. It's the easiest design. We need more.

Not until SB is put to bed, you using a 13" in there?

Yes 13 inch CRT TV. It's been almost 2 years waiting to get a proper monitor for this build, but never found one. I couldn't wait anymore to start so I found an old TV. Wont get the best possible picture, but it beats an LCD/Led in the looks department.

What did you end up doing to fix your monitor?

tried dicking with it all Saturday and failed. Found another 13 inch on Facebook for 10 bucks and grabbed that sunday.
Also if I leave it on it does turn back on when I unpplug and plug it back in if anyone was wondering. So boot up should be smoothe.
-
First draft. Tried to make it seamless.
-
Smoked plexi over the screen?

I haven't decided yet. That sounds dope though. Can I find that locally?

tap plastics.
if you need any photoshop help, LMK

Just stopped in lowes for work and saw this.

I'm open to any suggestions. I could send you some files if you want to take a look.

Might be too dark, what size sheet was it ??

0.093 inch. 30X36"

You might be able to find a "sample" from a plastic company that will be big enough for what you need. Probably get away with just paying shipping too.
-
Looking real good. How do you like those classix joystick and button?

Honestly cant say yet. Had them a long time and haven't hooked them up before. They look very sensitive.
-
That’s not too dark for CRT. Galaga had some dark glass. That smoked plexi should be legit

Would it be too dark for the bezel and cp art?
-
Probably, unless you do them in vinyl and top mount them. Then nope

OR do a second layer of clear plexi over the smoked with the art sandwiched between the 2 !
-
I rigged up my own any coin mech.
-
I say go the toilet paper roll route:

Nice! I've been thinking of doing something similar with my Fix-it-Felix. I bought the ones from Any Coin but for some reason can't get them to work reliably with my Nintendo coin door. They work great in my other machines.
-
Please get them 3D printed. It will do Tully proud.

Yeah, ---smurfette---, I know. You’re on that list.

stpcore is hooking me up again! Super excited. Thanks again Ken.
Here's the art files until my link dies if anyone wants them

Got a template printed and the holes drilled.
-
Looks great. I may have missed it but are you installing a dynamic marquee above the coin door?

I really considered it. But I settled on a standard galaga marquee.
-
Paint is coming up. Is rustoleum satin black the way to go? Oil base? Foam trim roller?
-
I didn't find satin black so I went with the semi gloss. Looks really good in person. Used little cabinet rollers and a trim brush. Artwork should be at the door soon. I suppose I better cobble up something that can play galaga.
-
Love me some semi-gloss. :cheers:
-
Looking good! These little cabs are so inviting... really tempted to make something like this my next build but wifey will kill me.
-
Would you like me to talk to her? >:D
I helped a friend get a pool table into his living room. That was a tense negotiation.
-
Looks great man. It is all down-hill after the paint is dry! :cheers:
-
Gonna put this on the finished pile. Running attract mode.
-
That little machine is wonderful!
Looks great man. I love it.
-
That turned out great. It looks like it came from the factory. The CRT really completes it too.
Wish I worked as fast as you.
-
Start to finish in under one month......you are my hero. I need lessons in efficiency.
Turned out great, nice work I really like the way you incorporated the art feels like it’s a full stand up.
-
I love it. Nice work.
-
Dude! You win a MAMEy!
-
Good job man!
-
I like it!
Now go buy some black card stock and make yourself a monitor bezel! :cheers:
-
Thanks guys
