Why not just build the shell? It would save time and money and still serve the same purpose.

Fair point but it'd be cool if you can pull it off the shelf, plug it in and it works :D

I have a Taito cocktail cab with no innards that I use as a coffee table, people are always disappointed when I tell them it doesn't actually 'work'.

Mike A:
Of course they are disappointed.

Arcade machines play games. That is their purpose.

I own full sized cabs. I have never felt the urge to own a smaller version that plays the games worse.

Bar tops are about the limit for me. You can still have a full sized screen and real arcade controls.

firedance:
if the screen is only 8" then yeah 1 button it is :)

javeryh:
I would make this a vertical (3:4) cabinet.  Most of the single player classics are built for it.  4-way joy and probably 2 buttons because of Qix and some others.

Seems like maybe you should rebuild the Taito machine first!
