Title: Temp-Cade
Post by: crashwg on April 01, 2004, 09:15:17 pm
I threw this together in a night.  It's just so I have something to play with until I get more money to work on the MiniGalaga.

It's made of what I believe to be a microwave cart that a neighbor threw out.  It's got a t-stick the 3" TB that will eventually be going in the full sized cab I would like to make down the road some time.  And check out those coin return buttons  ;) aren't they sweet!  There's leaf switches behind them so they actually work for coining up.  The laptop attached to the back is there because my computer chair doesn't go low enough for my legs to fit under the bottom of the CP so I just play on the couch.

I had to route out practicly the whole back side of the cp because it's about 1

The funny thing is... some guy was trying to pass something similiar to that off as a commercial product with a price tag of 700 bucks.

I actually like it man. I can picture this in a kids room and they get to help decorate it with a "handprint" water color theme all over it.
