Well, it's done and it's for sale! here's the thread with the entire build!

http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=140099

It has 16 Games on it, 14 of which are working. i should have had my friend pull the 2 that are not working, but it's hard to get him over here, he did all the setup on it. Cabinet is all new, insides of the sides are smooth black vinyl, outsides of the sides, coin panel, lower marquee panel are all done in moroccan vinyl. New art, overlay, marquee. New marquee brackets, spaeth scoreboard (needs a serial cable still to hook it up). New bezel tinted glass, new plastic monitor bezel, new buttons, original (as far as i know) joystick.

Running an Athlon 64 processor, gigabyte mobo, some premium ram, i think it's an 80 gig hard drive, Ipac for controls, and a 19" flat crt monitor.

Interesting notes: has the correct on/off on the back, you pull that, it powers up the machine. behind the left coin return, is a cherry switch, that turns on the pc itself. Pc boots, directly to game menu.

to add credits to the game, you push the right coin slot red square, there's a cherry switch mounted behind it. you can scroll through the menu with the joystick, and press fire to choose a game. There is a small square button on the right side of the CP, durring a game, it takes you back to menu. if you push it in menu, it properly shuts down windows. pc is running windows XP OEM. behind the coin door is a volume pot, so you do not need a keyboard or mouse at all with this setup.

the bad:

needs serial cable to hook up scoreboard.
coin door has a dry looking streak where i painted it.
lower back pull out drawer is a bitch to open, it snags on the T-molding.
vinyl on lower back draw is scuffed, from handcart.
Monitor has a 2" scratch on the lower left bottom corner, i notice it, but i'm picky.

i have over 800.00 in material in it, plus alot of labor, asking 1200.00 game is located at 43457 Nw ohio

a few pics, vids.

yes, thank you for the correction! there is a power strip inside the game, so plenty of space to add the power pack.
 
In regards to "behind the left coin return, is a cherry switch, that turns on the pc itself. Pc boots, directly to game menu."

If the switch is only powering on the computer, the same as you pushing the power switch on the front, then I have an alternate solution for you. Most PCs have an option in BIOS to automatically turn on the computer after a power loss. I have used this myself and it works great in MAME/Daphne arcade cabinet set-ups.

What games are in it. Are they laser games.

If you watch the First Video, i spin through the menu, all those games are on there. There are Two that shouldn't be on there. One that needs a keyboard, and one of the space games says "pull trigger to start" and thier is no button mapped to trigger for that game. It's all PC based running emulation, it's just like playing the real games from laser disc. Games of the top of my head

Pm replied to as well. Yes, it's Hyperspin i really like that frontend alot
 
I agree.. you would probably never find a half decent cab, buy all the repro art, vinyl..etc.. and make it look that nice and end up under 1200$.. at least no-where near here..
 
How much do you think it would cost to ship that to Calgary Canada? Is there duties on full machines when crossing the border?

I will buy this if I can get it here for $1500.
 
i have no idea on shipping to canada. I had one PM earlier from someone stateside asking if i'd ship, i pointed him towards NAVL or whatever he wanted to use for a shipper. Maybe ask in the general section if anyone has shipped a game from usa to canada? Surely some has and can fill you in on the details..
 
Hate to nitpick here, especially since you built this thing from scratch, but...

You installed the side art WAAAAAAY too high up on the cabinet. It is normal for the bolt heads that hold the monitor in place to go through the side art. Other than that, it looks VERY nice...

I believe he is aware of that and made a decision to go higher - which I think looks better than the original placement.
 
It's the newest version of Hyperspin available as of this time and it has both patches applied to it and I have loaded all the correct video files. I programmed it to operate by button/joystick. When you try to exit out of Hyperspin by hitting the "esc" button it automatically shuts the system down.

I don't think the pictures do this justice as this machine has to be viewed in person to really appreciate it..my hat is off to DPtwiz it's an absolutely beautiful machine..wish I had an extra 1200 it wouldn't even be on here..hehe.

BTW DPtwiz : I'll try to make it out to take the games off that do not work correctly.

thanks! wed eve on is cool to stop out! busy tomorrow night :/
Also, it has a custom monitor mount, i used a 19" flat CRT so there's no bolt holes at all in the sideart area.
