Fuzzy Wuzzy Was a Bear - Done for now

<< < (12/12)

Dervacumen:
Just a small update for those who are strugging with making their cabinet "perfect".

I've had several gatherings of friends, all of whom ended up playing this cab.  The first reaction is always "What is that?"  The second reaction is "OK, so you covered it in fur."

The third reaction is always:

You built this?  What's in it?  How does it work?  Can I play Ms. Pac Man, or Galaga, or Centipede ... you get the idea.

See, the enclosure is a very cool draw to what you have created.  Make it your own.  After all, this is Build Your Own Arcade Controls.

Have fun!

That you did my friend. Just keep the photos away from PETA. You don't want it covered in paint after you spent all that time avoiding painting it.  ;D

Dervacumen:
A member asked about installing my larger-than-would-be-accepted CP in this cabinet, so I'm providing a few extra pics with details.

You can see I added a little extra support  (those small triangular pieces ) to the wood on which the CP rests so the CP wouldn't tilt backward with aggressive use.  Once those were in place, it was a matter of cutting the angles on the CP to merge with the existing cabinet structure after I extended the base of the CP enclosure.  What a pain.
