Generic cab --> dedicated Zaxxon
« on: July 02, 2007, 04:24:10 am »
Hi.

We had a very ugly generic cab.



 

Since I had a Zaxxon PCB lying around I thought "why not turn this cab into a dedicated Zaxxon cab?".

I searched a long time for a Zaxxon-like stick and finally got an original one in USA for just $23. This thing is very heavy so you can imagine I paid lots more for the shipping. Thanks to Encryptor   :applaud: who forwarded the stick to me since the seller didn't want to ship to Germany

I have drawn a new custom CPO for the upper part and the front of the cab where I wanted to place the start buttons...just like the original.

 

And here's the result....I hope you like it  :)
