So don't waste time trying to do designs for me at this time, at worse I'd take a blank CP and drill it myself when I do decide finally on the layout.
Maybe someone else has an input in this matter, for now I really don't know. I only want it to play the 80's classics. If that does not work, to keep costs down, I could also maybe try to use my Raspberry Pi board. It's just that I wanted to make use of parts I already have stored and sleeping in my basement since the last 4 or 5 years like a 60 in 1 board which is capable of playing Centipede or Millipede. I've checked other bartop projects and haven't seen one with this kind of layout, so maybe you're right I should ditch the trackball. That's a tough one, I was thinking maybe the joystick on the left, 2 1/4" trackball in the middle and 2 buttons on the right, but maybe this would cram the control panel too much. I'm excited to bring high quality, low cost arcade cabinets to the Canadian market. Thank you to everybody who has supported me in this idea, and have been my inspiration to continue.
#Bartop arcade cabinet plans ednon update
I will update the first post with all of the most current information as soon as it's all together. I should have one of each of these prototypes ready for next week, and pricing information will follow soon.
(There is a hole between the backbox and the main body, so horizontal or vertical monitor mounting can be accommodated. WIDEBODY PINBALL CABINET - supports up to a 46" flat-screen monitor for the playfield (please note: 42" flat-screens should fit without any modification to the playfield case, but 46" flat-screens will likely require the use of power tools to modify the case slightly), 29" flat-screen monitor for the backglass (not 32", as previously stated - apologies), and 24" flat-screen monitor for DMD. Every cabinet comes with mounts to support standard 75mm and 100mm VESA compatible monitor formats. Each control panel (except for the "Contender" model) offer curved fronts. Standard offerings are blank, straight "fighter" style and offset button styles. All of the control panels can be customized to your specifications at time of order. THE CONTENDER - with the classic lines inspired by Nintendo cabinets that housed favourites such as Donkey Kong.Įach of my bartop designs have integrated 1/4" slots carved into them to support easy installation of plexi for playfield glass and marquees. THE THUNDER - with looks inspired by the cabinet that housed Tempest, and the added functionality of the customizable admin panel. THE TITAN - with a simple viewing area, and inspired by the Taito cabinets of days gone by. THE GALAXY - inspired by the sleek lines of cabinets that held the likes of Galaga and Pac Man, the look is retro and timeless. That means, I have pricing to work on for both the cabinets and shipping, but hope to complete that soon.
Final designs are UP! I've sent them in to the CNC shop for final testing, but hope to see some sawdust next week.
