The end is in site (which makes me both happy and sad; happy because I get to invite everybody over and have a games night, sad because it means no more project for a while) with Side Art on order, and I was persuaded by (of all people) my wife to order new t-molding as what's on the arcade presently could probably do with a tidy up. In keeping with the rest of the arcade (red / blue / black colours) I've ordered the bright red, which is supposed to match the HAPP buttons, so I can but hope, as postage costs dictated that I couldn't realistically order a sampler pack and then choose, so hopefully I'm right out of the box, otherwise it's a costly mistake!!
So, only one new photo; I have covered the door on the front, and everything is looking much more like a real arcade again! I think next time; I will build my own from scratch (using plans I have found on the interweb) rather than restoring one, it's been a mission trying to figure out how the builder has put certain things together, (the U-Nails debacle still comes to mind at this point) and as this seems to be pretty much his own design, (based on a Neo-Geo by the looks of it) I've literally had to reverse engineer everything to figure out how it's put together, and of course; my own design flair has been added here and there to put the new stuff in, like the new control panel and the monitor mount, which is strong as houses! I reckon I could sit on it and not break it, which is definitely a good thing! Anyway, today's photo...
