look what I picked up today...

<< < (2/2)

severdhed:
i decided since i had most of the stuff already, i'd go with the TV and the PS2 and make a lightgun cabinet out of it.  the TV was a really, really tight fit.  i made a shelf for it to sit on, and tried to get it to go into the cabinet...but it was too tight, so i had to remove the wood strips that the monitor glass sits on.  then i tried again, but it just wouldn't go in, so i had to remove the speaker panel, and also the strips that it attaches to to finally get it in.  then i put all of those pieces back in, only to find out that i forgot to account for the thickness of the wood when i measured where my tv shelf should be, so i had to tear it all back apart and lower the shelf about an inch.  i got it all put back together and hooked up the PS2.  right now it just sits in the bottom of the cabinet, and i can access it through the coin door.  i  need a new monitor glass, i'll probably go with plexi since it is cheap and easy to work with.  i also need to design a marquee, and cut a board to replace the control panel, and add gun holsters.    but i can do that a little at a time.  i removed all of the controls from the panel and installed 2 bolts that i can use to hold the guns in place temporarily.  I also need to extend the cables on the guns, since they are a little short.  but that should be pretty easy.  now i just need to find another guncon 2, and perhaps some dreamcast guns. 

my wife says i'm not allowed to get a 3rd cabinet...but i think once i get this one finished, i'll just bring one home one day and she'll just have to deal with it :)

i'll post some pics in the next day or so
