First Cabinet
lotec25:
Well i picked this up yesterday, And i am looking for ideas. I am going to turn it into a mame cabinet since the guy gutted it. But not sure what to do with the cabinet. And looking for ideas.
To me it looks like the controls need to be moved and rearranged but that is not on top of the list. What USB control board should i be looking for? I would like to add a few more buttons get the coin lights working. I just have a lot of questions. I have been reading over the board for a few days now. Still got a lot to do. Just need ideas on what everyone thinks might look good.
And here is the original cabinet

I recently purchased a Popeye cab that was converted to Mania Challenge. I am going to restore it to look like either a DK or Mario (depends if I go vertical or horizontal).

Here are a couple side pics, not the best angle but it is stuck in a corner until this weekend. Yea i am thinking of maybe the mario type cabinet. Wife is letting me do this so she can play packman and a few others she likes. The one thing it is missing is the player buttons so those are going to have to be replaced. But i am thinking i will move them up top where the sticker is for mania challange and add 2 buttons to each controller, for a total of 8 buttons.
and here is the monitor i got to day for it
