Thank you for the kind words! It was a really fun project and I enjoyed it. As always I learned a few things I could do better on the next one but I am happy with it. A lot of tips and tricks I learned from reading here! This one I tried to make it look somewhat OEM to the average joe and I...

It's in one piece and ready to play! I will have to borrow a degaussing coil to clean up the picture a little bit however it all went together well. When I purchased the monitor the coil on the back of the monitor (thanks Justin for telling me the correct name) was about an inch away from the...

A few weeks back on a rainy day my Dad and I sat down and recapped it as he had done them before, this was my first time doing it My connectors arrived so we cripped it together and we have life! I've never set up a monitor before so I will have to do some reading on here to see how to get...

With the cool fall weather here this project has taken a back burner as prep for winter around the farm has taken hold. I did fully assemble it to see how it all looked. Where I moved the player buttons it made the 1 latch not be able to close for the control panel (oversight on my part) but 2...

Made a little bit more progress Hard to tell in the picture as it's black velcro on a black background, however I took a suggestion here and installed a strip of the non-hook side of velcro with an adhesive backing across the top of the control panel so it won't directly touch the bezel when...

I left the cab to cure for a week or 2 as I was gone on vacation and then began assembly. I forgot to take a picture but the marquee light board was painted in gloss white before install the light bar up top as well as the speakers. I was able to fire up the light for the first time and I was...

After all the sanding, shaping and a little bit of filler the repaired spots turned out pretty decent I would say. It doesn't look worse than it did so I called it a win! One of the rails that holds the back panel on was also cracked so I glued and clamped that as well as patched the hole...

While I was working on these parts in the house the cab was out in the shop. I was working a lot of hours so on days off I would warm up the shop and work on the cab, and in the mean time tinker in the house on the control panel The cab wasn't in bad shape but definitely could use some love...

Instead of having a custom CPO made I compared measurements and ordered one originally for a Wide Body Mario Bros. I was able to trim it to fit and it presents well. It is not perfect by any means, but it was a cost effective solution. Using clamps, magnets and a heat gun I was able to get it...

I started off by working with what I knew which is cleaning and painting steel components. The coin door was disassembled, cleaned, primed, and painted along with the marquee trim pieces. All the plastic pieces were washed and cleaned up with Mother's Back To Black and I purchased new locks and...

Hi everyone, this is only my second thread on the site so I hope I posted in the correct area. Last fall I had asked for suggestions on a multicade build and I have taken pictures along the way as I have been putting it together. This has been my first arcade machine project and I walked in...

Thank you everyone for the comments and input!

Thank you Del! I will look into a PC but that seems a little more than I'd like to get into right now but I will start to research it as well Thank you for the kit feedback as well, I already started researching better options to piece it together myself after your post. This is a first for me...

That is very true, I appreciate the insight! I am just looking for common titles to enjoy, but the quality of play seems to be the major thing disputed between the different options. Who doesn't love having more options to play as well?

Thank you Don! I would like a bit of variety but I read mixed reviews how vertical titles will play on a horizontal monitor if I went the Pandora route? I did not know the company had closed down, I did notice some parts sites didn't list them anymore

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a completely empty Street Fighter Hyper Fighter Z back cabinet that had been redone in Mario Bros theme. This is my first arcade project so I am a beginner for sure. All of the guts are missing so I started reading about multi-cade applications as it will be...
