Title: almost done 4player cab
Post by: vusteveii on August 14, 2003, 05:13:51 pm

She works great, just waiting on a marquee and coindoor and a little bit of touch up painting, but ive been having a blast with 4player fighters like xmen tmnt and simpsons(girls LOVE the simpsons game).

The control panel is a unusual shape, but it works great no elbow problems and the line of sight to the screen is pretty decent, im really happy with it.  Probably would have rounded all the edges if i were doing it over.

its adhesive backed blue vinyl from a sign shop, i paid 14 bucks for a 36x 72 piece.  the pictures are just printed on a nice kodak photopaper and cut out carefully, its all underneath a 1/8" lexan sheet.

its big, but doesnt feel too big, at the very widest point its about 60" tip to tip.
