Another Donkey Kong Scratch build - 8/31/10 - FIXED VIDEO OBJECT

<< < (7/23) > >>

Yea idk what happened. Everything was tight when I started. It wasn't the bit that went down but the router is and old craftsman, you have to twist the housing to adjust the height...and I did notice the housing move a bit while I was routing. I've never used a router other than this, so idk. After that issue I re tightened everything and the 2nd panel was perfect.

I still need to get a good idea for mounting the sides to the floor of the cab. I want a standing cab!!! Lol all in time I suppose.

I did some more work today, got the cab standing! with a base!

I didnt want to screw it together from the outside, but i went ahead and did that, im gonna cover the screws with putty or something when i get to that part. Or ill take them out once i figure out how to mount everything inside.

And compared to a pic of a real machine, the only problem I see is the front panel its too deep into the cabinet, but that is an easy fix.

Here are the pics.







Its coming together pretty nice...so far, so good.

looking good.  this makes me really want to get my DK cabinet finished.  I got mine for $50 last fall, but my wife told me i wasn't allowed to put any money into it until after Christmas.  I had everything i needed to get it playable, but there is alot of cosmetic stuff that needs done to it.  and now we are in the middle of remodeling our kitchen and dining room, so it will probably be spring until i can start mine.  I haven't been on the forums alot lately due to the remodeling, but if you need any measurements or anything, i'll try to help out as well.

good luck and keep those pics coming.

Thanks! Right now I need to get my bezel and Marquee.  I need to make sure they will fit in my cab, if not, ill have to re-cut the top bottom and coin door panel :\

Anyone know where to get a Bezel for a decent price? I found one place online for 45, but i need to call them and make sure its on plexi because every other place I find it, if its on plexi its like $80-90 :(

Dont get ahead of your self yet...Remember you are building a stratch built...something might come up to where the measurements are off...
See what the measurements are for the DK cab and cut out cardboard or (something cheap) and use them as a test pieces...if then if they are good then worry bout getting the actual bezel/marquee....

Another thing too if you want...it might be cheaper...but you can find the artwork for the DK cab...you can then take it and get the artwork printed and then you can apply it on pexi, glass, etc, whatever you choose...
