Title: My cabinet is complete! Thanks for all the help!
Post by: Ginsu Victim on March 31, 2008, 10:28:17 am: This weekend, I finally finished my arcade cabinet. It's a Centuri "Track and Field" that was converted to a Double Dribble. Here's how it looked when I got it:

And here it is now, (pics, as usual, didn't turn out great) complete with a marquee from emdkay (http://www.emdkay.net), side-art from mamemarquees.com (http://www.mamemarquees.com), and parts from Ultimarc (http://www.ultimarc.com), divemaster (http://www.arcadeemulator.net), and mikesarcade (http://www.mikesarcade.com):

Thanks for all your help! I might work on a proper bezel soon, and I'm still setting up the PC.

EDIT: News pictures with U360s installed instead of Happ Universals

Post by: Malenko on March 31, 2008, 10:57:45 am: I dont think Ive ever seen the 7th button on that side, hows that working out for you? other then the non-theme theme looks great. My first cab was a Track and feild that was converted to a cabal, that I converted to a street fighter II Rainbow ed and gave to my buddy.

find all the work in progress pix and post something in the project announcement section.

Post by: Ginsu Victim on March 31, 2008, 11:03:01 am: Yeah, I went non-theme because since it plays everything, I just felt I'd cover different aspects of what it plays, without going overboard on the art.

As for the 7th button, it's only a 6-button setup with the 4 wired twice.

Edit: Have since rewired it to have all seven buttons, wired as

Thanks again for the hookup on the cabinet. Glad you like what I did with it.
Nice to hear you got your Baby Pac working (post pics!). That's a great machine. And Q-Bert is actually pretty rare, so that's awesome! Good find!

Post by: urbecrisch on March 31, 2008, 10:35:25 pm: Ginsu, nice job. Can you take a pic of your CAB instruction sheet on the bezel? I want to get a close up look at it.

Post by: Ginsu Victim on March 31, 2008, 11:04:36 pm: Here's a low res version. It's just an edit of the Vortex instruction card from the homebrew section at Localarcade

Post by: Gillian Seed on November 03, 2009, 03:44:09 am: I have that same cabinet. I like how you mounted the monitor more horizontally. :) Think you could give me any tips so i can do the same in my cab?

Thanks,

Dylan

Title: Re: My cabinet is complete! Thanks for all the help!
Post by: Ginsu Victim on November 03, 2009, 09:48:40 am: Wal-mart. Just a Marvel poster. It's only temporary until I can figure out what I really want.

I'm glad you said that... I didn't want to be a turd and say the control panel didn't really match either the sideart or marquee, but it was the first thing that occurred when I looked at it. ;D

The marquee and bezel have the Tron vibe, so some kind of similar grid/circuit style art would be nice.

The bezel isn't Tron anymore. This is an old thread. Now it's a starfield.

Old thread anyway. Don't worry about it.

Post by: TOK on November 03, 2009, 04:13:19 pm: Didn't even notice it was old. :timebomb:
Title: Re: My cabinet is complete! Thanks for all the help!
Post by: Ummon on November 03, 2009, 05:44:17 pm: I would've kept the monitor down in it. Or compromised at some angle in-between. I just don't really dig monitors at more than 60 degrees relative to the deck.
Title: Re: My cabinet is complete! Thanks for all the help!
Post by: Ginsu Victim on November 03, 2009, 05:59:43 pm: It was the only option with the monitor I have. It would've stuck out the back at every other angle I tried. I have it as far forward as I can and it's still touching the back door. I tried decasing it and it wasn't enough.

The angle is great for my AimTrak, though. ;D

Post by: kevin2me on April 27, 2011, 12:47:03 pm: Awesome Thanks buddy :)

Hows AimTrak going, Im thinking of adding guns too?
They are $44 for Gun and $44 Aimtrak from ultimarc.

I have 15Nanao Monitor V\H are one cable, so hopefully still work fine.
Love that Artwork!
