This cab is made from cabinet grade plywood with dato joints.

Rename it BlurryCade.

Just giving you a hard time, but i would like a clearer picture, my eyes aren't that great as it is.
On a serious note though, looks really good so far. Always nice to see a cab with different style and shape. Did you get inspiration for this design somewhere or just make it up out of the blue?

Pretty neat. Basically a low boy with a rotating monitor. I like what I see so far.

Nice looking and original. Keep the pics coming!

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #4 on:** July 17, 2004, 03:16:25 pm »

Hey

This is my own design. I will be dropping the monitor assembly another inch and I still need to cut the panels for the coin door assembly. Comments? Still looking for side sugestions! BTW the CP shelf is set to 4.5 degress, I thought it would be easier to build a CP without the angle.

Kind Regards\

Sorry, I WILL get this

Looking good so far, cant wait to see the final result.
Keep the pic comming.

I'm betting it's a digital camcorder with a very blurry still-mode.

JAMMA Guy · « **Reply #10 on:** July 18, 2004, 05:07:19 pm »

Maybe his camara is setting on macro mode

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #11 on:** July 18, 2004, 06:11:13 pm »

Hey

My camera is one of the first available, Its ancient.

Lets talk about something else, your all making me feel bad.

Zakk · « **Reply #12 on:** July 18, 2004, 06:22:22 pm »

They don't mean anything by it, they just wonder what the fuzzy-cab will look like when it's done.

Seriously, if anyone is responding in here, it's because there is an interest. I -think- you have a pretty unique design there, and this board is full of guys who live for details and PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES!

Yours reminds me of my bar hopping days...I mean I think she looks good, but that could be the beer colored glasses talking!

Now go borrow a camera and let us get a good look at it!

Witchboard · « **Reply #13 on:** July 18, 2004, 11:00:58 pm »

It's coming along nicely. I really dig your style. I honestly cannot think of anything for sideart with the name "Nostalgia I". Nostalgia is kinda relative. What's nastalgic to you may not be for me, but I'm sure you'll come up with something. Keep your updates coming.

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #14 on:** July 18, 2004, 11:20:13 pm »

Actually, Iam just planning to call it Nostalgia without the one. I was just trying to make the point that this is my first version of this design. I really like the set back attitude of the cabinet, theres nothing worse than a video screen in your face. We've played a few multiplayer games and its very comfortable. Also Iam looking for a good shape for the sides. They need to be designed next before i can build the marquee and speaker box. I want to continue with the same lines that are in the base and monitor box. BTW anyone else having problems with the new avga_mame_res_tool 1.02?

The picture below does not include new modifications, Iam droping the monitor box another inch.

Kind Regards\

very nice and unique. it looks like a piece of art or modern sculpture.

i think the shape of the sides are good as it is right now. maybe just add an extension at the top for the marquee and speakers.

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #17 on:** July 20, 2004, 09:11:56 pm »

All modifications have been made and this is my final version of the base and monitor assembly.

Now on to the SIDE design!

Any IDEAS?

Hey, congratulations on that fantastic joinery (jointery?) That construction looks really solid.

I like the design as well. Can't wait to see it with the Control Panel.

And, yes, most on here are overly obsessed with digital pictures. PaigeOliver will attest to that.

Keep up the good work.

teetu · « **Reply #31 on:** July 20, 2004, 10:13:52 pm »

Extremely nice so far, and I like how the pictures are nice and clear now! I still like the name blurry cab though!

I like the design of your rotating monitor- it seems simpler than other ones ive seen on this site. Is the rotating action pretty smooth on it now? Does it take a lot of effort to rotate it.

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #32 on:** July 20, 2004, 10:23:22 pm »

Hey

It takes very little effort at all, very smooth, Id like to say it only took one finger but its a couple of pounds of pressure. regardless, it is still extremely easy to move. Well worth the work! Later I should be able to adapt a motor to it. I beleive the design actually belongs to Mr Salty from some years back.

Since I decided to use a 27 inch monitor, I grossly enlarged the wheel to support the monitor. It is very strong and does not bend when picked up. It could have possibly been made smaller but it wasnt worth the worry.

Have others set up rotating monitors of this size?

Kind Regards\

Sharp looking cab K.D. Just for the record though the laminate you are planning to use on your cab is called "Formica" not vermica.

. Can't wait to see the cab when its finished. Kudos for breaking away from the typical upright design and creating a different look.

Wienerdog · « **Reply #34 on:** July 21, 2004, 01:01:58 am »

Very nice woodworking, that's good to see. Nice execution on the design too!

pathdoc2 · « **Reply #35 on:** July 21, 2004, 02:55:02 pm »

Your joint work is excellent. Nice job on a cool design.

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #36 on:** July 21, 2004, 05:04:05 pm »

Id like to build an oversized marquee somewhat like this.

What do ya think?

Kind Regards\

KrawDaddy · « **Reply #38 on:** July 22, 2004, 12:17:45 am »

Kick Ass!!!

Thanks pocketbikez!

The sides are supposed to hide the monitor box and trim the CP out. Although its a quick sketch and the demensions are wrong heres what I had in mind:

Could ya fire that up like your version?

Kind Regards\

Kraw

pocketbikez · « **Reply #39 on:** July 22, 2004, 12:29:09 pm »

i like your drawing. it keeps the same look as the monitor box. the total design of your cab so far is really beautiful and im glad your final blueprint stays in line with the original shape. at first when you said you were going to add side pieces i was afraid it would cover up all the nice curves and angles. your design is awesome. please keep us posted with your progress.
