New Mini Cocktail build

[Doxcade]

I’ve been working on this one for about a month or so on and off. Figured it was time to share with everyone.

It’s a “mini” cocktail machine I know how much everyone loves ‘um.
Anyways quick build specs - used ½ inch beech plywood for everything, PC is a repurposed Acer Aspire One (N450 Atom, 2GB ram, 160GB HD, 10.1 LCD), Xin-mo  usb controller,  Happ Ultimate sticks and Happ buttons.

I’m between jobs at the moment so I thought this would be a fun project and maybe make some cash selling it when its done, if I can part with it lol.

Now for part you’ve been waiting for -  Pictures! 

I’m not one to take build pics as I’m going but I did snap a few. First few are of 3D Renders in SolidWorks .

Enjoy!

Another mini cabinet! 

Very nice work so far. The buttons are extremely close to the right side, didn't you have room to have them a bit more to the left? What joystick did you use? With such a small cabinet and low weight, I would suggest going with either a Sanwa JLF or a Seimitsu LS-32/LS-33 for both space and joystick force.

Thanks! Due to low build budget I had to "borrow" parts from my full size machine for this one. I used old Happ Ultimates as you can see in the pic below theres zero room left over. Next build I plan on using better sticks and smaller buttons and also angling the control panel a bit.

Very cute, i always wonder about the little ones, can they stand abuse on the sticks and buttons on the long run.

As you can see in the pic below theres zero room left over.

And I thought it was cramped underneath the control panel of my MVS-99-6 cabinet.



Then again I'm not finished, and that's a Sanwa JLF and four 24mm buttons you see there, with 20mm buttons at the top (well, the bottom if you look at the photo). 

I don't see any information about which display you're going to use. Is it 4:3/5:4 or 16:9/16:10? What size, model, etc. Viewing angles, especially, are critical for a cocktail cabinet.

Hate to use this word but it is CUTE.   Looking forward to completion.

Any progress?

I'm considering doing a mini Bubble Bobble cabinet. I guess I'll just use a sticker for art and marquee (it's only going to be 25cm wide), and use a 8" touch screen I have laying around.

Btw; Anyone have pictures/art from the original cabinet?
