The American Ace Kit on Kickstarter

I'd say, leave the coin door as an option.
Also, since it's getting wider, no chance for a two player set up (especially since you are dumping the spinner).
Great job and I may be one of your first backers!

I would love to include a coin door option. Adding the door cutout to some, but not all the kits will add a little to the CNC cost. I'm going to listen closely to all the comments during the Kickstarter campaign, and if there is sufficient interest, then I think it would be a great option. :cheers:
I'm sure a nice 2 player layout could be done on this size arcade (and the kit will include a blank CP for anyone that wants to do that sort of thing). For the control panel kit, though, I need to stick with the single player layout for now. Multiple CP layouts can become complex fast... graphics change, number of buttons, wiring harness, and then the hole patterns. Again, though, if there is enough interest, then more options become viable.

Blank CP would be ideal for most of us here. But others who want to skip the whole woodworks ordeal would benefit from a premade CP.
I would get a blank CP, thats for sure.

Well, Kickstarter has approved my project, so it will be going live today.
I plan to hit the launch button today at 01:00, and I'll update this post with a link when I've confirmed that project is alive and well on their site.
As I said in my first post, there will be 5 cabinet kits available for $300. Once those have been taken, the award level for the cabinet will be fixed at $450.
Also, if you check it out and like it, then hit the little Facebook like button under the video to help spread the word.
Thanks everyone!

1. Cabinet Kit - This will include all the parts CNC cut and predrilled (no power tools needed). The control panel will be provided blank so you can configure the layout however you like. Also, the front of the cabinet will have concealled hinges so you can open the front to get to the gaming system easily. And, there will also be all the misc hardware (screws, VESA mount for LCD monitor, etc...)

Curious how you will handle the pledges.
Was just browsing kickstarter for 'arcade' and one guy wants to open one(doesn't say where), a $250 pledge gets you a token. Think there needs to be a better reward out of something like that or I'm just giving money to a stranger.
I know this might not be possible, but could you offer a slim build version. Granted I didn't look very hard, but I don't think I've seen kits for those. Would be good for the apartment dwellers and people with no room to build and most likely no room for a full cabinet.
