Original first post below.
Since moving to Nepal, I have been with out a well equipped DT lad andwood shop to build in. That coupled with my new teaching job, that's out side of my subject area, has lead to a lack of new projects. But the Arcade building bug does not easily go away.
On 11.11 (Chinese Black Friday) I ordered a "Pandoras box 3" Arcade kit. I just got it this past Friday (Jan. 22). Unfortunately, I have already won a dispute with the vender and got my money back. I feel kind of bad getting it for free, even though it came with the older version 2 and not the listed version 3. And the black ball top should be blue. Still I am trying to work something out with the vender to get him payed.

Until I stop changing countries every few years, Arcade restorations are out and a man only needs so many MAME cabs. So this one will be a gift to a family that gave us a lot of baby stuff after our son's luggage didn't make it to Nepal.
First I presented them with an art concept.

They liked it but wanted Double Dragon, so I made some changes.

The idea is to build a whole arcade around what could be a marquee box. It will sit on a coffee table and be small enough to move from country to country. They use a projector as a TV in the living room so that will be the monitor. I'm pretty sure I have seen a Vector Double Dragon Marquee some where but can't find it. If one does not show up I may try printing this (http://hico-srv004.pixhotel.fr/sites/default/files/gamoovernet/20110515213546-sentinelle-marqueedoubledr.JPG) 21MB image. Ether way I did find a vector (http://vectorlib.free.fr/Double_Dragon/) of the CP that I may use elements from for a custom CP.
I also bought my first Mini SLG (love it) and a 10 amp 220volt fused switch.

A amp (does JAMMA need an amp?) and speaker covers are also on there way.
This is my first JAMMA project and will have some questions. But first I need to get the power supply wired.
