« on: April 12, 2014, 11:18:30 am »
i coudln't find my old topic, but it was a mess anyway.
Here's a new one with updates included:

How i bought the machine:



Some cigarrete marks:



Douring polish:



After polish:



Some splt photos:





Final result:




Still, i wasn't happy


After a hard day at work:^





--------------------

A month later, i decided to continue my project:

New holes:





Side holes for pinball:


New buttons fitted:







Usb Controllers:












A little test:





Real res:



A Helper:



Not very good at SF2:



In the meanwhile the display went dead.






In the meanwhile, lets fit the pc inside:

















And to finish , i found out that my wood isn't as good as i tought it would be:






------------------


Then i decided that i was going to make a new control panel, a new back door for my cabinet, and repair the wood:




















































------------------------------


Next in line:

- Display repair
- New T-molding (Black)
- New control panel
- Quit the red / blue theme, let's go for white and black, black joysticks, black buttons, black and white marquee, cabinet and control panel art, something simple...
- New plexiglass on the control panel
- Finish!
