removed the plate on which it usually hangs, its too deep with it.

problems like this i assume are fast solved with a thin LED type screen.

the speakers and other extensions like the component in, can be easy removed by unclipping their connectors.

only board left on is for the IR receiver.

yup no problem.

 

also if you encounter that problem, use a resistor of 4 ohms across the terminals the speaker was on, the tv will be a happy camper.

small update

 

finally have all the pc stuff working.

installed a new quad core2duo cpu and a new asus gtx 650ti 2gb video card.

 

not any issues on my tables for now, im a happy camper.

 

picked up my coindoor and lockdown bar over at robs (thx again)

the door is resprayed and looks as new.

 

still have to find new inserts for the coin reject buttons (stern) as one isnt looking too fresh.

if anybody can help me out on this, info is welcome.

 

the stern widebody bar was 2 cm too wide.

i cutted it in 2 , made it shorter and its now being welded to one master fit bar for me !

that gets rid of the seem in the middle also.

 

hope all turns out right, but worst case scenairio i still have a right fit data east bar in black lying around.

 

of for a week vacation, then a week off from word, which will be dedicated to "the build"

 

 

stay tuned.....................

Glad to hear the computer is working well.

 

Enjoy your vacation!

Heyyy Gerard,

 

Did you use that 6750 C2D i gave you ? OMG that lockbar is giving issues, hope the coindoor was easier to refurb.

I am still looking for those coin reject buttons, stern just wasn't used much here in the south, this weekend i'm going

postal on those two garageboxes full of arcade stuff, they have to be cleared out, so maybe i'll find a little gem !

 

Ohh and: Prettige Vakantie !

[gerardnl]

I agree, painting for me was always stressful in that you get the wood s sanded just right, looking great then just a little to thick a spray of paint and you get running which you most likely have to wet sand. Ugh.

Cant wait to see the finished cab.

Gerard, any updates ?? I think you secretly finished it and now you're hooked playing the living daylights out of it.......

"A local Dutch arcade enthusiast completed a pinball cabinet and hasn't been seen in weeks...a strange smell of Mt. Dew and Cheetos has been emanating from his abode in recent days... if you listen closely you can hear the faint, steady bing of pinball effects..."

[Nemo]

Hahahaha, good one !  

[gerardnl]

tad busy at work long days with little room for the cabinet.

[djpferraz]
