Title: Started My Cabinet
Post by: dheck on February 13, 2006, 02:16:55 pm

I started my machine this weekend.  Here is my current progress.  I don't have a theme or anyhting yet.  I am going to work on the CP this evening.  Anyway, here it is so far.

Very good idea - I made a replica out of cardboard and did a couple imaginary test games with it... seemed fine. I built the CP and now I realize a few more things I need to change, so.... looks like another CP is in the works for me.

It's lookin good dude. It's a ultimate arcade?

Of course I have plans.  AutoCAD is what pays the bills.  8)

This looks awesome! Any chance I could get a copy of the plans? Or, are you selling a copy of the plans?

I do have the plans and I am willing to part with them.  They need to be updated though.  As soon as they are finished I can fully dimension them and post them up.
