Title: BUMMED NO MORE!

Greets all....

...I had posted a thread a few weeks ago about how I was bummed that my cab was totally done.....any hoo, it generated a lot of conversation from you guys about what I should do next.....

Well, I've bit the bullet and I'm tossing out some small pieces of furniture to make room for cabbie number 2#.

ANNOUNCING :o  :o
CONEY ISLAND MAME COCKTAIL!

I'll post pics on progress soon.....as so far I'm still gathering materials.

I ordered a cocktail kit from Arcade Depot and I'm using an XArcade (yes...I really do like it!) as the controller w/an Oscar spinner that I will integrate into it.

Thanks for all of the encouragement!.....whoo hoo! Vertical gaming goodness here I come!

Good for you, can't wait to see the pics.

And if I could, I'd throw out all the furniture in my place and just replace it all with MAME machines.  Who needs to entertain when I could just entertain myself.  ;)

Sounds like a great project.  You just can't keep a good builder down.  Keep us posted.  I love to see construction pics.

Thank you guys!

Last night I received my XArcade Solo and put in the Oscar Spinner....which went a lot easier that I had anticipated. There's actually just enough room to make it fit (barely....but it fits).

I'll post pics soon.

 ;) GREETS ALL.

Attached below are two pics of my "modded" XArcade Solo with an integrated Model 3 Oscar Spinner.

It literally just barely fit; but it did indeed fit as Kelsey at Oscar Controls said it would.

I'll have a bigger update very soon!

Whoo Hoo!....the bulk of my ordered items have arrived!

I just got the cab kit (cocktail kit); my Galaxian underlay (for under the glass...it's a repro. of the original), my monitor bezel, my happ coin door and a FREE Sony Trinitron 19" monitor from my office....and yes, they let me have it, it was pretty old but still works great!...and a few other goodies.

I should be able to post some pics by early next week of everything laid out before I begin building.....hooray!

UPDATE...

Ton's of stuff done.....the upside?...it will be playable in about a day or two....downside....this only really took me about 3 days (I took a lot of breaks to stretch out the fun!).

....I'll post pics very soon.

FYI- Good story regarding ArcadeDepot.com...lot's of love in the air. Stay tuned for more!
