Any electronics geniuses on here?

I even restored the labels on the back no one will ever see lol

 

That’s cool how’d you do that? Also how would you get the graphics for the cabinet?

 

I took a close up picture of them then I made them a semi-transparent layer in Photoshop and recreated the graphics over them from scratch. I had them printed by a member on here on laminated vinyl.

The cabinet art, marquee, and the control panel overlay came from eBay.

 

That's taking a project to perfection. Well done man. Well done. Fantastic work

 

Thank you!

 

Don’t go to authentic though... the 80’s standard control panel cigarette burn is taking it a little too far!

 

When I was restoring an old Pinball Machine i finally found a set of deck decals albeit for a hefty price. Maybe my own fault but the guy sent them general Mail & got bent to almost useless. Found a local guy with this Crazy high end copier that printed them right onto Mylar film better than the originals. Win some, loose some, I guess.

 

I remember losing a few quarters down into the machine that I had lined up on plexiglas. The guys that maintained them probably made some good extra cash off stray quarters in cabinet. Had a lot of fun playing those games but i’d Have been better off money wise if I hadn’t.

 

Anyway sounds like a good project that I hope to do someday soon! My son wants a table top version. I’m more interested in the upright version. I’ll check all the links and see if I can get it built. If you guys have anymore information please post it so maybe it can be built from this post. Thanks, wish I had a better grasp of the electronics end of this project. Would be pretty happy with myself if I actually built one!

 

At the end of the day it’s literally just a computer and a monitor with controls hooked up to it. Super easy to build one.

I’d find a cheap gutted used arcade cabinet like I did and built something into it.
