BUMMED NO MORE!

[MameMaster!]

 
Greets all....

...I had posted a thread a few weeks ago about how I was bummed that my cab was totally done.....any hoo, it generated a lot of conversation from you guys about what I should do next.....

Well, I've bit the bullet and I'm tossing out some small pieces of furniture to make room for cabbie number 2#.

ANNOUNCING  
CONEY ISLAND MAME COCKTAIL!

I'll post pics on progress soon.....as so far I'm still gathering materials.

I ordered a cocktail kit from Arcade Depot and I'm using an XArcade (yes...I really do like it!) as the controller w/an Oscar spinner that I will integrate into it.

Thanks for all of the encouragement!.....whoo hoo! Vertical gaming goodness here I come!

Good for you, can't wait to see the pics.

And if I could, I'd throw out all the furniture in my place and just replace it all with MAME machines.  Who needs to entertain when I could just entertain myself.

Sounds like a great project.  You just can't keep a good builder down.  Keep us posted.  I love to see construction pics.

Thank you guys!

Last night I received my XArcade Solo and put in the Oscar Spinner....which went a lot easier that I had anticipated. There's actually just enough room to make it fit (barely....but it fits).

I'll post pics soon.

  GREETS ALL.

Attached below are two pics of my "modded" XArcade Solo with an integrated Model 3 Oscar Spinner.

It literally just barely fit; but it did indeed fit as Kelsey at Oscar Controls said it would.

I'll have a bigger update very soon!

Whoo Hoo!....the bulk of my ordered items have arrived!

I just got the cab kit (cocktail kit); my Galaxian underlay (for under the glass...it's a repro. of the original), my monitor bezel, my happ coin door and a FREE Sony Trinitron 19" monitor from my office....and yes, they let me have it, it was pretty old but still works great!...and a few other goodies.

I should be able to post some pics by early next week of everything laid out before I begin building.....hooray!

UPDATE...

Ton's of stuff done.....the upside?...it will be playable in about a day or two....downside....this only really took me about 3 days (I took a lot of breaks to stretch out the fun!).

....I'll post pics very soon.

FYI- Good story regarding ArcadeDepot.com...lot's of love in the air. Stay tuned for more!
