Title: Another pic of bronze plexi - I love it
Post by: soslo on February 22, 2004, 05:47:51 pm

Here is a pic of a cab that I am working on. I just got the bronze plexi cut, and painted the backside bezel black with Krylon Fusion spray paint. It makes for a pretty awesome look.

The picture shows through perfectly believe it or not. I'll try to post pics when I get the computer put in.

Here is another shot with more direct light - you can see the painted bezel in this one.

I think it looks so much better than just plain clear plexi like my first cab:http://aaronmurray.com/default.asp?page=arcade/mamecab1.htm (http://aaronmurray.com/default.asp?page=arcade/mamecab1.htm)

no - it is a 21" HP CRT monitor. The good part about it is that it only weighs 216 pounds  ;)

I painted the monitor front black so it doesn't stand out.

will the plexi have any effect with light guns and accuracy? Say.. the Act labs gun?

good question - but I have no idea since I don't have a light gun cab yet...there was a thread about this somewhere though I think...

Yep (http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=16191).

P.S.  216 lbs?!  I'd pass on that!

I have bronze plexi on my cab and it works perfectly with Actlabs guns.

I used bronze plexi in mine as well. You can see through it perfectly, and in my opinion it really improves the overal look of the cab.
