Yeah, and the crazy thing is they originally gave me an estimate of $350 so it wound up even cheaper. I had a ton of stuff powdercoated by that shop over the years before they closed down. It was around that time, that I found my local guy, Doug, who's pretty awesome. The issue with a lot of the...

I guess I'll be the voice to endorse powder coating then. Agreed, to each their own, but I fricking love my powder-coated Red Tent and would do it again in a heartbeat. It was a no-brainer for me, especially since mine was converted to a Neo Geo. Used a hammer/dolly set to get all of the major...

To add to the button confusion, Klax only uses one button yet the control layout is pretty much the same as Tetris, with the "flip/start" button(s) on both sides of each joystick. @CarrieZ has a Tetris PCB and we were planning on throwing a 2in1 switcher in her Klax cabaret (in which case, I'm...

Hey Shawn, I've been skimming through these 25 pages, trying to find out if you've ever had a full color picture in this cabinet. Just from the very quick perusing I did, from what I've gathered... 1) You've clearly tried multiple monitors all with some issue 2) You've tried multiple PCBs...

It's the little details that make these projects shine.

Lookin REEAAL niiiice.

Thanks to @Phetishboy who tipped me off, I was able to obtain a very nice Circus bezel to replace the very faded original we had. (Also, thanks @Zarloffson for a very smooth transaction and great packing!). The difference between the two bezels is astonishing to say the least. Our original had...

Looks great, Shawn!

Well, I'm not sure how you feel about Klax, but I love it. I enjoy it quite a bit more than Tetris and like playing with different strategies (i.e. trying to get through more levels or go for a bigger score, warping early on, etc.) The sounds & voices are great and the game ramps up rather...

This reminds me, I need to add the Tetris PCB and a switcher to @CarrieZ 's Klax. I frickin love that Klax cabaret. I typically play it at least once a week, usually on Fridays. Very easy to play 1 or 2 games and then stop. Coincidentally, I've got a Tetris in storage that I picked up from a...

They had one of these at the local roller rink in the early 90s. I remember it had Super Mario World, Tennis and F-Zero. The giant controllers and bright 25" really made it memorable. My first game came from the owner of that roller rink, back in 2004 and I remember he still had this game there...

Saw "Trog" at the top and got excited. Still a game on my wanted list. Love that game and the cabinet/art.

This is our second Vapor TRX that @CarrieZ and I picked up, almost exactly one year after the first. Although the game worked, it turned into a bit more of a project than expected. Recorded a little 3-part vLOG of getting it into shape. We'll be bringing both to CAX next month. Cheers!

Meh no worries. Monitor picture will just look brighter and more crisp. Still a win. Plus, Tetris has a lot of black and with the colored block shapes, any burn will be almost non-existent.

That looks reeeeeal nice.

Looking good, Shawn!

I used Arborite Ultramarine S497 which was a perfect match for my late Gen Big Blue. https://procabinetsupply.com/products/ultramarine-s497-laminate-sheet-arborite Restoration thread and videos here...

Awesome. Looking forward to watching the progress, Shawn. I always tell @CarrieZ that she can never get rid of her Klax cabaret. I play that at least once a week (on average), usually on the weekends. Coincidentally, I have a Tetris in a dynamo cab that I bought way back in like 2006 from Ross...

Heh - no need to be nervous. The one good thing about having a project like that is that just about anything is a huge improvement! ;) You'll do great, I have no doubt! Thanks for the kind words.

Damn. That black painted one reminds me of what mine looked like when I got it. The thing had been all hacked up and half-ass converted to a Neo Geo. Naturally, nearly all of the guts were missing and there were hardly any original parts aside from the monitors.
