yet another bartop

<< < (3/4) > >>

Eric(Goddahavit):
Plans, well, I loosly designed it like the mameroom designs one, but after I had it on my counter, I relized i didnt need the depth,with the lcd, so i actually took it apart and cut it.

I can take any measurments you need, but it mostly just went togeather a few times and I made a few modifications where I needed to.
although not too many were necessary, thats the beauty, I can just say I ment to make it like that.

I am really disapointed with myself for not takeing too may pics as I was building, I will definatly do that next time.


Timoe, yes it is a Sanwa, I had 2 laying around for a few years, and I actually tried to use a t stick, but my daghter much prefered the jstick, I do as well.

i will get some pics of the cp and guts, its kinda a mess in there, but it all works.

I do have to add that I thought the tmolding was harder to install then I thought, and that inside corner was a pain.


Eric(Goddahavit):
Here are a few pics I just snapped.

shot of the cp.


messy side

another


Back


guts


sound on the right, not as nice as an external control, but I didnt want to get cute with this my first scratch cabinet.



notice the L brackets holding in the monitor it is routed out so it sits in the hole it wasnt easy bit I think it looks nice on the finished side, and the monitor does not move.


Thanks everyone for your thoughts and questions.

Ahh...

My bartop I'm currently building in PA looks similar to this. Eerily similar! I went with a few more curves, and I don't plan on trackball. I'm building mine to play like a Multi-williams. Looks good! Good work.

Is that Velcro you are using to attach the CP?  :laugh2: :applaud: Neet idea I just might use that for the modular panels on my FrankenMAME cabinet.  It would sure fix the problems I am having with panels being loose and poorly drilled holes for the dowels to fit into. ;D

TTFN  :cheers:

Where in PA, I am also in pa... Fleetwood.

This is my first cp with a trackball, I really should have flush mounted it and put artwork on it, (might still) with the samll ball I dont think plexi would work too well. But a mouse in windows is great.

I was going to make this a dos box, but the minipac and ultimarc trackball all just plugged in it was just too easy. I did have to work at getting it to work well in the games, and it is now a little slow in windows, but better than going the wrong way(backspin ) I had at first.



Yes, industrial strength velcro, seems to hold fine.

Problem I now have is I had everything fitting so good, after I put on the tmolding, it kinda makes it harder to take off the cp,

 but not too bad. :banghead:
