Scratch Build: Star Wars Cockpit 'Rebel Edition'

[Maximus]

or a freakin ray gun....

Ironically that's exactly what I'm building if you think about it

[PL1]

damn,you building arcade unit, or a freakin ray gun....

Alien talk...speak english...

  The CRT was invented more than a decade before the introduction of the Model T Ford.   

This isn't some luddite forum so quit yer whiny complaining and do some basic background reading on this 116 year old technology, Rodney.

Relax, guys -- Rodney knows I'm just speaking the truth as a friend.  (Right, Rod? )

I want him to join the "smart people" instead of railing against them.

He has what it takes.

I just heard Ben Affleck is playing Harrison Ford in the new Stars War movie!

I thought Matt Damon was playing Catwoman in the new Hobbit movie? Amirite? No?

Just an ugly rumor. Actually, Disney has said that they want to turn the Star Wars franchise in a more family friendly direction, and on that note, the script will be more comedic, and they will be casting Will Smith to play all of the lead roles.

And yet that would still be better than anything Lucas did with the prequels.

[Maximus]

Started into the HV board, smaller overall but looks more complicated with the focus blocks mods and flyback etc.

[rablack97]

Uh excuse me Scott,

You'll have to forgive the fact that i haven't dug into CRT technology in my spare time.  Not everyone can speak vulcan in this forum, and the convos do get really techy.  I have no problem with this, I wasn't derailing smart people, I just merely said speak english so those following might be able to understand it better.

Not everyone is capable of providing 3d schematic drawings in color cross referenced with wiki threads on how to screw in a light bulb like you dear sir.

It was just a figure of speech or a comment in light of this build....

Regardless carry on.....

Epic movie!

For the love of god. 7 pages and not one splinter to be had by the builder.

Maximus promise me there will be sawdust by page 30.?

Lol hard to say, the cabinet is the last thing that will get done on this project, I'm not going to all that effort until I know I have a pristine working system and monitor etc to put in it.

Couldn't you just mock something up to appease me.  On a serious note. I know all to well the effort being made on this build, Keep at it mate im enjoying the none saw dust build in wood free way 

[jennifer]

   I was all like wondering how you spliced those cables, From the bumps Im guessing crimp?

[Maximus]

I wove the inside wiring then carefully put back the two layers of insulation and then used heavy duty glue lined shrink tube

That's more like it, no lecture, just good old fashion comedy.....

   +1 cut some wood man....get your hands dirty.

[jennifer]

    Are you messing with my head?... You did that for real?... Im not saying its wrong I guess, just never saw it done that way.

[Maximus]

  +1 cut some wood man....get your hands dirty.

Beotch please...

[rablack97]

Uhhh, Beotch please nothing.....

That looks nothing like this



We are referring to cutting wood on this project, sir...

No one is doubting your ninja jigsaw woodcutting skills....

[Maximus]

Actually now we have the new house to deal with the tools will be cutting and chopping  in other places. We have a whole master bed and ensuite that we are going to demo ourselves to save coin before the contractors come in a make it all pretty, looking forward to this in the 'magic room'

[rablack97]

damn, thats hella sweet.......

No worries man just giving you a hard time, i' know you'll get around to it eventually....

Congrats on the new crib!!!!!

[Rick]

i' know you'll get around to it eventually....

True that. I mean, everybody gets their cabs finished eventually, right? Right?

Is that a rainfall shower head I see in the ceiling? 

[Maximus]

yeah an happy ending jets on the wall

[Maximus]

Any hoooooo

Deflection board complete

[CoryBee]

From here it looks like a really good job......Care to release some HQ shots so I can scrutinize your work, a bit of PCB Porn if you will.

Sure I can do some hi res shots when all the boards wiring etc are done

So lost right now,

[Maximus]

HV board making slow progress

[ChadTower]

I am convinced.  That is hella good PCB work.   

If he pulls this off I might have to start hunting for a compatible tube myself.

[Maximus]

Thanks Chad I'm just slowly plodding through this trying to make sure I don't miss anything.

Heat sink painted and on. Atill some isolation to do, a little bridging and one more transistor in the mail


Also I have completed collecting all the parts for the guts of the game including control panel and coin door etc. Game powers on now and gives me solid red lights on all game boards. The counter ticks over when I flick the coin drop switch but alas no speech or music from the speaker. I can control the volume from the pot on the control panel ok but no sound so far.


Until I have my monitor built I won't know much more about the operational status of the game
