Here's a few pics of it in a little arcade / hookah lounge I set up at my house for our New Years Eve party. I've been having a really hard time getting the color balance on it right, which is why it looks pale blue compared to the other games - the red just wont turn up high enough for some...

I decided to stick with a glossy black control panel for now because I like the contrast of the white buttons, at least until I get some button decals or a fully vinyl CPL overlay. After that I went to town with my rattle cans of black and dark gray. I think my next cabinet I'll definitely...

Candy cabs still had a marquee though, right?

I've been thus far unable to find ANY cabinet pictures of Vampire Savior 2, much less repro or scans of the marquee. I've google searched for it both in english and japanese, on arcade art library and all I've found are scans of the japanese instruction cards...

Starcade is definitely in bad shape, but if you head over to California Adventure they have a "replica" Flynn's Arcade with a bunch of awesome classic games in it. They even have a Tron machine up against a brick wall that has seams that look like it would swing open :)

Not unless I want to buy a football field length :(

Finally a little bit of progress... I could have sanded and nitpicked / bondo'd every single blemish on this cabinet to death, but I decided to just throw a coat of primer on it and the control panel and I'm already glad I did. Granted I just used a few rattle cans of valspar primer with a...

So I have two different cabinets in the garage that have nearly identical monitors, one a Konami 4 player cabinet and the other a dynamo z-back. Both monitors "work" for the most part, but I have a persistent problem with them both where the Red color will flicker and disappear from the picture...

QuarterArcade has a complete Toobin CP for $50. Not sure what condition yours is in, but this one looks like its still in good shape from the pictures http://www.quarterarcade.com/Game.aspx/6256

Sorry for the delay and how ghetto these diagrams are, but I took a few pics of my cabinet and monitor mount from the front to get you started. If you need anything more intricate or specific let me know, otherwise let the crappy photoshop arrows commence! A.) Monitor area - 27" wide B.)...

I did the bondo work on the gashes and broken areas and have the entire surface sanded down flush with 60 grit, but I haven't started paint yet - mostly because I'm not sure if the paint I have will work. What I have is a bucket of leftover primer from when I painted my house and a few bottles...

I've got an original 4 player Konami cab in the garage and I'd be glad to take any monitor measurements you need. Just let me know

Does anyone happen to know where I can find 3/4" t-molding in either of these colors? The site I got the information from wont take orders of anything less than 250ft (and I only need ~40). Is that typical? Brand: Formica Number: 961 Color Name: Fog Brand: Formica Number: 928 Color Name: Mouse

So I had a few hours with it today and made some more progress. I was able to reach in the coin door and unscrew the brackets holding in the front panel (I needed to replace this anyway). I was finally able to get a good look at the board and the power supply and it all looks like its in great...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to see if I can get at the bolts from the inside, if not I'm going to try sawing the brackets (not the lock) and see if I get anywhere.
