Looks great.  I like the design.  I think this thread belongs in the project announcement section though.

I really like the design of the cabinet itself, in particularly the curves in the front bottom and back top

Looks good!I like the chrome brackets. I also like the overall design. The way you displayed your speakers vs. hiding them is also a nice touch.

How does the gun work? Work well? I been debating getting one....

The only negative thing I see is all the yellow buttons (admin?). I prefer a cleaner control panel. I would suggest some buttons from  MikeDeuce.

Otherwise - looks great! Good work.

Very nice indeed.

Is it your own design, or did you build it from plans?

Good look overall but what do ALL those yellow buttons do?

Are you trying to make the first cabinet that is able to play all those Mahjohng games?   :laugh2:

Hey, very nice!
The curvy shape (esp profile) reminds me of a late 70's era jukebox.

I really like the color scheme down the front of the cabinet.  That blue against the molding is slick.

Very cool looking cabinet.  But I think it needs more admin buttons.  ;D

That would probably be my only negative comment is the yellow admin buttons. I'm guessing thats what they are.

You did really good work on the cabinet. Honestly, I don't like the design of the cab. I think it tries to go for a futuristic look but over does it. I always preffered the classic cab design like Q-Bert and Centipede. But to each his own of course. Good work though.  :applaud:

By the way, how did you do the chrome t-molding?

I am currently doing one also and was looking at the picture's wondering how you made the round cut and got the T-molding down the side's of the coin door's and was like wow then I went to klov and seen your's is the revised version and I have the origanal more boxed styled cuase I was looking and that smooth back and seen it was missing the speaker area and was like how did this guy cut that so neat well now I know lol

nice cab though look's great and can't wait to finish mine still waiting on the formica glue to dry on my co while I am typing here lol  ;)
