  Whew!  Wasn't sure I could do it, but here it is...   

"P I N C A D E   C L A S S I C S"

A variation of the different Arcade Classics machines...

Project web site...  http://www.pincade.yolasite.com
(many photos, full feature list, parts list--as much as I could remember, videos, marquee hi-res file, etc.)

Main Features:
- Rotating monitor with tinted front glass (Lexan)
- CP with chrome pinball lockbar, 2 switchable joysticks & 7 buttons per player in natural curved position
- CP has 4 pinball buttons, a front "faux coin button," and small lock/switch to act as "shift" key to minimize admin. buttons
- CP has LED Trackball (3 colors w/rocker swithces hidden on back of CP) and spinner, positioned ergonomically within reach, but just out of the way
- CP is detachable (two hidden USB connections) for alternate stand-alone use with a TV and laptop in a living room
- 5 speaker system, including top-mounted subwoofer and velcro-attached volume "pod"
- externally accessible (but color blended-in) CD/DVD drive and 2 USB ports
- 4 fans (2 low for fresh air intake, 2 high for exhaust)
- dedicated rear mounted power button that powers on entire cabinet using a smart strip

Thanks to this forum and so many whose ideas inspired me and made me believe that more was possible than I could have imagined...

Especially to:  Saint, DaOldMan, DNA Dan, csa3d, Knievel, weisshaupt, TopJimmyCooks, javeryh, psychotech

So many people have given, so if I can help, please ask questions, etc. (and check out the website if it might help you with a project of your own)

Woo hoo!  (pop of Champagne! and then drink a beer since I like it better...      )
