I really like what the speaker panel mesh added to the looks of the front of the cab.

Thanks Stingray, I think it actually looks better 'for real'. The camera flash makes the vinyl behind the grill look quite grey, so in reality the wholes look less obvious.

Hey Hippy....

When you've finally finished it, fancy nipping over and building me one ??

I've got beer....

Either that or give me a hand with this bloody decorating ...

Just for fun, here's a pic of me on day 9 of building my cab (the only pic withme in during the whole build). This was a very cold beer + take a guess fueled Friday night's work with my mate Mylo:

Edit: as for the hippy comment, my hair's longer now

Here's Mylo on the same night...I think he spent most of the time in this position

OK I received my first CPO and marquee from www.mamemarquees.com today - just spent the evening on installing it. Many of my pics have turned out crap as always, but the artwork looks really superb - I can't fault the quality.

Minwah · « **Reply #93 on:** February 07, 2005, 06:06:10 pm »

This one shows the cab in it's current state. The colours of the CPO look pretty washed out here but as you should be able to tell from the previous pics they are not in reality.

The marquee looks ace

'Bootiful' as Bernard Matthews used to say! - Looks well ace.

Silver · « **Reply #96 on:** February 07, 2005, 08:01:03 pm »

Man I have GOT to start building my cab.....

Looks superb (but then, it already did!). I take you can spec/design a personal CP at mamemarquees to fit your controls. Can I ask cost/shipping to UK? Also how are you attaching the CPO - is the back side sticky, placed staight onto MDF? and has it got a covering?

Minwah · « **Reply #97 on:** February 08, 2005, 04:33:55 am »

Thanks guys

Yes, I designed this to fit around the controls (after I'd made the panel)

Somewhere around $13, so ~

Silver · « **Reply #98 on:** February 08, 2005, 09:16:23 am »

Ah wonderful. Sounds perfect if it has protective covering.... had been wondering abou the whole lexan covering option. I take you have placed straight onto MDF?

And I was wondering cost of CPO as well as shipping... (I take it

Minwah · « **Reply #102 on:** February 10, 2005, 10:54:21 am »

Just thought I'd add some info about my wheel panel, since I didn't really say much about it:

Pole Position wheel hardware, with Super Sprint wheel, interfaced with Oscar mouse hack,
Hard Drivin' (compact) 4-way shifter (via IPAC in the cabinet itself),
Um, 3 buttons (again via IPAC),
Happ dual pedals, interfaced with an AKI.

You can't see them in the shots on this page but see page one of this thread for pics of the pedals.

RetroJames · « **Reply #103 on:** February 10, 2005, 04:42:44 pm »

I assume you are going to make a few more panels, what is your storage solution?

Yes, a stick/button panel (see earlier in the thread for my current test version), an analog stick/trackball/spinner panel, and a yoke panel

Good question!! I don't have one yet

RetroJames · « **Reply #105 on:** February 11, 2005, 06:48:09 am »

Got another one, are the panels hot-swappable?

teef two · « **Reply #106 on:** February 11, 2005, 08:09:54 am »

Also Minwah, how are you attaching the panels? From looking at the pics I can't quite make out what is securing them in place.

I'm a bit of a hippy myself. Add to that the fact that we have the same car, same oddball video game hobby, and we both care about how our cabs look on the inside. I'm starting to think you and I may have been twins separated at birth.

Hey Minwah,
I've got a set of Pedals like yours I haven't set up yet and have a question. Previously, you said you had two springs on the brake pedal, how many do you have on the gas pedal? Mine is missing the brake pedal, but there is one spring there. The gas has 2 springs and the Happs diagram seems to indicate one spring on the gas and two on the brake. Since you have a set and are actively using them, I thought you could confirm the springs and if that spring orientation is the correct feel.

Thanks

Panel clamps. See the pic of the underside of the CP...there are two metal things on the underside of the wood (one on each side). I have to reach in through the front door and hook the other part of the clamp over and lock in place. I might have a pic of the clamps without the CP in place if you're not sure what I mean...

I have one spring on the gas, two on the brake. I believe this to be the correct configuration...it feels right and it seems the most 'realistic'.

Thanks Minwah. Wonder why mine is reveresed?

Not sure...maybe someone just assumed the gas should have 2 - maybe the previous owner had some parts of the brake pedal assembly spare. Who knows!

BTW, Is there anyone who is not a Beatles and Dylan fan?

Yes, unfortunately for them!

HUGE Beatles fan. Kind of lukewarm on Bob Dylan, though my wife really digs him. Oh and I present as evidence that we're not the same person, my cab runs on a Mac and therefore doesn't use MAMEWAH. Sorry for dragging your thread so insanely off topic.

I have to say I really like the way your cab turned out.
