I'm away from computer working on LOZ all day and It see I missed quite the controversy. Haha.

All good.

It was actually a BYOAC member who came up with the "Insert Rupee" concept....and ai think its awesome. Like I said before, My goal with this cab is to make it fit in with a line up of other Nintendo cabs and how they would have been back in the day.....so I think I'll stick with the sticker. I totally get it tho, and I can see the point of why some might think it is distracting. This stuff is so subjective.
So okay. I know I've changed my mind a million time on this cabinet over the course of a year. Ive had 2 PC 10 boards, a computer, an NES! A raspberry pie....Lol.

Well, the main things I wanted when I started this project was a classic look, it plays NES games only, has a CRT and, coins up. Well, at this point I'm really wanting to finish this project so I gotta give up something. I've got so much money tied up in the electronics with the PC 10, adapters, gamelink, powerpaks, harnesses...etc, etc...and I still need to source a CRT and ISO transformer....I started thinking, man, I've really over complicated this....and I think a lot of you guys even said that pages ago. Sooooooo....in the end I decided to simplify. A LOT. Atleast for now. I know this may not be popular.....but I'm just going to use my NES to power this build.
Last year my neighbor gave me a 20" CRT TV for free. I'm still a CRT virgin at this point, sans one supervised cap kit I did. So in the middle of the night last night, I said, "F it, I'm going in" and I Started to decase the CRT TV. And I did.....and I'm alive! Haha. It actually wasn't that bad! I didn't have the tool to discharge it....but it had been in my neighbors garage for a long time off....and I'm never turned it on...so I figured I was safe. Still tho, I probably should have checked anyways.
So today I mounted the CRT and built a frame for the TV. I also hooked up the NES a to test it. There is a slight off center issue....not sure how to adjust it, I'll have to ask for help locally with my expert friends.
