Every time I see this black melamine coated particleboard I think wow this is the way to go when building or repairing certain cabinet panels (front kickplates and top roof panels). Then I look for it every time I'm in my Home Depot or Lowes and only see the white.This thread will document my scratch build of an Exidy Chiller in the smaller Cheyenne-sized cabinet. I've mostly seen Chiller in the larger Crossbow cabinet, but I'm assuming the smaller Cheyenne cabinets were also used.
View attachment 738974I like that cabinet a little bit better as it's not so tall and unwieldy, so I'm gonna use it. I'm using my Cheyenne as a template. So far I've got one side panel cut, and I started working on the speaker panel and the front Panel that sits in front of the control panel.
View attachment 738975This cabinet will be built out of melamine coated particleboard and 3/4" plywood. I've already got the particleboard and plywood purchased. Currently working with Rich at this old game for the artwork package and I should be able to make most of the metal brackets myself. I will be running one of Toledo flyers multi-Exidy FPGA boards in this build.
More importantly....cool project. I love Chiller and play it at FunSpot in NH every time I go.
