Title: Hi from the UK Post by: Shun_di on September 11, 2014, 02:43:22 pm I've been watching John's Arcade vids for a while now and it has to be my favourite channel on youtube.
I wish I had a basement to fill full of arcades, however I've made a start on my garage ;D I've got a mame cab with integrated Dreamcast and beer fridge and a Naomi Universal. However I want a dedicated classic in the garage now but they can be quite pricey in the UK (average £500-£1000). So, having been inspired by John's Pac-man cabaret restore, I want one now and I'm going to build one around a Pac-man PCB. I might need a bit of help with the dimensions though. I have the dimensions of the sides but I need to know the height and angle of the cp and bezel etc. If anyone has a copy of pac-man cabaret plans, I would be most grateful. :D Title: Re: Hi from the UK Post by: lesoleil70 on September 11, 2014, 02:52:53 pm Hi - welcome.
You are right about the prices...but what you are quoting is ebay prices. If you get on the Jammaplus and/or UKVAC forums, watch the for sale sections, and post up your wants list you could be pleasantly surprised. :) Good luck! Title: Re: Hi from the UK Post by: Shun_di on September 11, 2014, 03:34:52 pm Thanks lesoleil70.
I'm actually a relatively new member on the UKVAC forums and bought a few things from other members (including a monitor chassis for my Naomi). I may do this for the next classic which I think will be a Donkey Kong. However another consideration is the wife ;) For some reason she doesn't mind me building one slowly, but would rather we spend our money on unimportant things like the house and the family at the moment. ::) ;) Also, I've already kind of started, by cutting out the sides after finding a to scale sketch up model of a pac-man cabaret. I just need the internal dimensions now. I might even upload the build to youtube bit by bit. ;D Title: Re: Hi from the UK Post by: EvilOtto on September 16, 2014, 06:31:16 am Hi buddy.
Im another Englander and Im also on UKVAC. You need to get those vids uploaded ASAP! I completely understand where your coming from with scratch builds. Im looking at a scratch Gyruss build in the new year, I have 2 more cabs I need to get finished first ;) Title: Re: Hi from the UK Post by: John's Arcade on September 16, 2014, 08:36:22 am Welcome to the site! Good luck with your Pac build!
Title: Re: Hi from the UK Post by: Shun_di on September 16, 2014, 03:54:23 pm Thanks John. Just finished watching the Puerto Rico vid, looks like you had a great time. That beercade sounded cool, too bad it shut down.
EvilOtto, I will try and get some vids of the build uploaded ASAP. I've got a video of my Mame cab on my poor excuse for a channel (search for shundi12 on youtube if anyone is interested). I need to get lots of arcade goodness on there. Good luck with your other cabs, are they scratch builds as well? |
