Skinny spinny cabinet (with pictures).

I originally built this cabinet to house City Connection, but I took one look at it with a horizontal monitor, and thought it looked funny, so I am using it for a vertical Mame cabinet instead.

3" Imperial trackball with groovygamegear upgrade kit. Happ mounting plate.

Oscar vortex spinner.

Midway coin door, circa 1976.

Haven't ordered the t-molding yet. Also need to order the tinted tempered glass as well.

Cabinet was handbuilt from mdf. I went 20" wide on the inside instead of the usual 24".

I think Paige needs some intervention.  His family could put a "Free Cabinet" sign up and lure him in.  What does your family think?  Think of the children man!  :P
Seriously, do you have any room left in your place?  You and Oscar have a new project almost weekly.  I can't even get ONE done in six months.  I'm jealous!  BTW looks good as always ;) .

Actually my place isn't even cramped anymore since I redid things. My living room is the game room. The larger of the two bedrooms is the living room, and my small bedroom is the one I sleep in. I DO however have a whole bunch of projecgt status games down in the basement, more than would ever fit upstairs.

I just installed t-molding. I actually used some recycled t-molding. The Millipede/Time Soldiers cabinet I picked up had pretty good t-molding, BUT it REALLY needed to have that 3/4" t-molding replaced with 7/8" because of some mild wood swelling. So that t-molding went on the skinny spinny cabinet and I will eventually order some 7/8" molding for the TimePede.

Interesting cabinet, interesting choice of controls.  Any particular reason you decided not to include a joystick?

The vertical 8-way cocktail and the vertical 4-way upright mame cabinets that I already own would have made a joystick pointless on this machine.

Whose cab is this?

Marquee cut to fit and placed in cabinet, hasn't been installed yet though.

Grey tempered glass arrived and has also been set in place, I won't install it until I paint the PC monitor black and such to hide it.

I used a bootleg Neo Geo 2 slot marquee cut down to be a one slot.
