Title: Put legs on your SlikStik??
Post by: wackychimp on July 05, 2004, 03:59:41 pm

I don't have the room for a full cabinet so I'm wanting to put some sort of legs on my slikstik classic so I can haul it out and attach it to my laptop and TV (laptop has S-video out) and play. Then put it all away when I'm done. (sorry to all the purists - this is only meant to allow MAME play so give the full arcade experience ;) )

Anyone done anything like this?  What should I use for legs?  How should I attach them?  Ideally the legs would be easily removable for storage.

Any thoughts appreciated.

I'd say get some of that metal pipe normally found and HD, Lowes etc., the stuff with the threads on each end...  They also have a corosponding "nipple" (may be the wrong term for that), that you would screw to the bottom of the CP which would in turn accept the threaded pipe.

Did you follow all that?
I can get pictures if you need them.

I didn't see any metal pipes at HD (thought I was a little rushed).  I think I know what you're talking about with the attaching piece too thought if anyone has easy access to photos that would be helpful too. ;)
