Fot Posted March 24, 2024 Posted March 24, 2024 It always extra special when two or more hobbies intersect. I am a big fan of Macross and arcade games, so I was stoked when I found out there was a Macross based arcade game. The excitement quickly went away when I saw the price tag for these pcb boards. After about a year I found a board at a decent price. Since this was a kit game, it doesn't have much in way of cabinet art. It does have a marquee, but i dont like the way it looks so I am going to test my hand at designing all the cabinet art. I got the cabinet painted and just finished up the coin door. Quote

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted April 5, 2024 Posted April 5, 2024 Very nice!, my project is still stumbling along, Need to get some art printed out, and find someway to fabricate the plexi overlay like you did on your Dynamo Cab. Your not kidding about the PCB price.. I lucked out and got mine years ago for only $150.. now they are 700+ jeesh. Quote

Most the ones I found hovered around a 900 plus. If you have access to a wet tile saw it makes some very nice cuts on plexiglass. I also have aero fighters pcb ins this Cab, gonna get a jamma switcher so I can play both. I had originally planned to do a custom aero fighters Cab with Top gun themed art.

Fot Posted April 8, 2024 Author Posted April 8, 2024 Got the bezel in art in, like the way it turned out.. Project moving along nicely. Quote
Fot Posted May 9, 2024 Author Posted May 9, 2024 Had an issue with one side of the art, when I flipped from left to right side I screwed up the offset of the logo. Other then that very happy with how it turned out.. Quote
