#3 Where is the button to push for the top to sink inside itself and flip over to show us the bumper pool table?

Haha you beat me to it, I was going to suggest you get a felt sheet and some sort of wall to turn it into a pool table

does anyone have any questions about this thing that they want answered? anything I should add or remove from the page that I have up for it?

One comment. Looks like the bottom is open. I would recommend sealing it off so little critters don't crawl up in there. And you really should use tempered glass.

But, man! that is cool. You cat looks nice too. Makes me miss mine.

I dont have any cretters in the house small enoguh to worry about, and the chassis really is only an inch off the floor.

Make sure you keep a cat in the house, or critters (mice) will move in. They will like it inside the nice warm cabinet and close to food. Who knows... bugs might even like it in there.

has anyone else used wooden dowels to fill in the screw holes like i did?

it's funny u mention that, cause I was thinking of doing it myself since wood filler takes a while to dry. How did it work out for you?

Holy crap that is awesome. This is the first time I've noticed this thread and I'm glad I did. I couldn't figure out what to do for my next project, but seeing this thing just gives me so many ideas that I know I'll eventually build something similar.

Awesome job.

Sorry to revive this thread, but it's something that new people to the site need to see. I can't believe it's not on the Hall of Fame page myself...

Have plans been made up for this as it's totally the sort of thing I'd love to build now that I'm starting to get a good collection of tools.

Hey there, nice to see that people still like my cab.

I didnt have any plans for this, but I could probably sketch some up. I pretty much just winged it. I knew what I wanted and I went for it.

I could sketch up the plans easy enough,. if there is an actual demand for em

Com[Plex] · « **Reply #97 on:** June 22, 2006, 08:52:20 pm »

oh yeah, the link to my incomplete writup about the proccess of building this, is on www.angrymods.com/mame

Com[Plex] · « **Reply #98 on:** June 24, 2006, 09:18:46 pm »

in case anyone had doubts as to whether you could convince your wife to let you have this as a dining room table, here is an example.

it has a nice pair of speakers inside of it, and when we have dinner guests we like to play portishead or something easy with the winamp visualizations going on the screen. it certainly adds to the ambience of the event.

I don't know what FE solution you choose (i could not see it) but I think that beast would benefit from MaLa fe rotation options I think, especially as there are diffrent controlls om each side. You can have the gamelist change depending on what side it is rotated.

Nice work.

I waiting for someone to build a mame cab you can play in the pool

So, this is just a feeler, but I am thinking about selling the arcade... it doesnt get a lot of use where it is, and I could really use the money for parts for my race car (my new hobby)

if I were to put this up for sale, completely with the 2ghz computer inside, etc etc.
how much should I ask for it?

its still in great shape. I have kept it in nearly immaculate condition. it has a great finish on it. and the glass is virtually scratch free.

it weighs 400 lbs, so local pickup is pretty mandatory.
(I live in Maine)

I think a fair price for me to give you for it is $30, and to sweeten the deal, I'd pay that in C-A-S-H money! Now I just need your address and a n agreed-upon time when I can stop by and pick it up. Since I will be driving from WI, I will need directions, for which I am also willing to pay the princely sum of $10 for your troubles, and if you drive back with me and help me see if it fits in my basement.....

now that is an expensive hobby, your going to need all the money you can get. I went from that hobby to this one largely because this one is much more affordable. What kind of car do you have?

most of us couldnt afford it, thasts why we build them ourselves

Id probably let it go for a little more than what I have into it.

anyone care to guess how much that is?

Stub · « **Reply #115 on:** April 21, 2008, 02:42:52 pm »

I think you are pretty close actually. I think I was closer to 1600 actually, but that was a while back so its hard to remember exactly...
