Sweet little thing

Great looking cpo, and the blue t-molding contrasts beautifly with
the black.
I thought of having a tv frame design such as yours. though
I must admit it looks a bit condensed. (just my thought...)
Great work

No they don't, although that would be pretty cool, maybe I will have to consider that one....

Supercool! These kits are coming out very nice! By the way it wouldn't be to hard to wire 1 big LED cluster under the group of buttons for some back light effect.

Looks really good, congratz !

Looks very nice. Did you make any of the artwork or is it pre-existing stuff? Now that I've seen the red, I think I prefer the "wrong" Pac-man eye color on the original Pac CPO.

Also, that black plastic circle around the joystick. Is it supposed to go over the CPanel? I put mine under the CPanel, wasn't sure about it though.

You did an extraordinary job. The artwork looks really neat too. I like that you went with translucent pushbuttons and a translucent balltop joystick.

Thanks for the comments, what do you mean by condensed though, it isn't clear to me.

Just my opinion - the surrounding area of the monitor seems to catch the eye while
playing, like a diversion. but if you're cool with it that's all that matters

Great work

Nice mini Does it have a computer or a 5 in 1 thing? Any pics with out a back cover.

Nailz · « **Reply #14 on:** January 14, 2006, 12:11:45 pm »

It is indeed a computer stuffed underneath... My monitor shelf sits about 6 inches high, which is just enough room to squeeze the mobo and card underneath it. If I get a chance to take a picture I will. The outside is clean, but underneath it's a mess.

I was a bit worried about that, but once you start playing a game, I don't notice it at all.

That's what I figured. There are some games that while played the bezel
can go up in flames and it won't be noticed

Is there someone here selling these kits? And if so, who? where? and how much?

Awesome thanks Nailz

The cab turned out nice. I love the "classic game" artwork. And as far as the bezel being too distracting during gameplay, has anyone been to an arcade lately? There are a lot of cabs that have "busy" artwork on the bezel, once you get into playing a game you don't even notice it.

I would like to see some photos of the inside when you get the chance, don't worry about it being too messy in there...you should see inside some of my cabs!

I like the busy bezel alot. Funny, I don't like that look in a marquee, but it looks nice on the bezel of this bartop.

brian23 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 17, 2006, 10:11:28 pm »

what is the CP artwork printed on? vinyl?

eccs19 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 18, 2006, 12:59:09 pm »

You did a nice job. Did you purchase the completed kit, or do it from scratch from his plans? I bought the plans, and I'm partway through the assy process of the cabinet now. Have all the wood cut, just have to finish gluing, etc.

Best Regards

Nailz · « **Reply #24 on:** January 19, 2006, 02:43:12 am »

The CP is printed on a Polycarbinate laminate, per mamemarquees web site, it is very durable and feels and looks extremely professional.

Ecc19, thanks, I did get the completed kit. I built my last project myself and came to terms with the fact that I am a crappy woodworker so it was nice to let someone else do it. The cab looks as nice as it does due to Mr. Bubbleheads well built cab. All I had to due was paint it and apply the art.... well, a little more than that but you get the idea.
