I am about to start my first arcade project and I could really use some help/advice. I have a couple options on cabinet: there are some local ones that I could get relatively inexpensive, or I could have a Taito cabinet built by arcaderestoparts.com for a little bit more and try to arrange a 6 hour round trip haul.
At the moment I am leaning towards getting the new cabinet since it seems Brett does good work and I wouldn't have to deal with damage, existing paint/art, etc. The one thing I am concerned about is all the small parts that would need to be found (coin door, cp, power supply, actual wiring) not to mention the PCB and monitor. I have no electronics knowledge when it comes to this stuff, I can build computers with my eyes closed but I have never soldered anything and I need as easy as possible.
I have done quite a bit of searching the last week and I was not very successful in finding parts for a bubble bobble machine, or any kind of wiring guide, or what type of power supply it needs. I guess I'm looking for input on what direction I should go on the cabinet first and then make some small decisions from there. Thanks.
