Title: Multi console light gun cab thats not a cab
Post by: thomas_surles on May 17, 2017, 02:58:23 pm

I picked up a sony trinitron today at goodwill and i wanted to make a dedicated spot for light gun games for my console collection.
I want something to where i can stand up and play with a shelf to swap out consoles.  Im trying to come up with something cool that is not just a tv on a stand, but at the same time is not a full blown cab. Any suggestions?

My first thought was something like a store kiosk

I think the kiosk idea is pretty cool tbh.

You could build all the consoles into the stand and swap between them with a splitter maybe?

The kiosk idea sounds pretty good.  :applaud:

What is in the room behind where it will sit ?? -- Perhaps make it built directly into the wall.
