The Final Countdown !





I promised myself I'd make a strong final push this weekend to get stuff done. Not only did I work on my bartop cabinet's, but I also found time to work on my DK JR project (BONUS!). Most of the jamma wiring was done last week. I'll still need to install the fans and speakers but that will be really simple. Today I got the monitors installed. WOW! These suckers have no room inside. It's really really tight. Not to mention the weight they add. I'd like to get some LCD's in them, but they aren't keepers, they are for sale. And the more I put into them money wise the less I get out.

ALMOST All Done...........ALMOST !





Today I managed to complete most of the Jamma wiring. All the joysticks and buttons are done. I'll try to install the monitors this weekend and get them wired up.
The electrical part of the wiring I'm going to seek help on. My brother's are electricians, and I just want to ensure they are done correctly and properly grounded.
With two of the machines for sale I'd rather not take chances.
I did install the monitor supports, and the monitor into the keeper cabinet. It looks good! I'll need to clean up the wiring a little and cut a bezel and then it's pretty much done. PUSH PUSH PUSH !

Jamma Wiring





I decided today I'd take a little time and try to wire up what I could.
Still a little more left to do. I hope to get both cabinets wired up this week.

Putting It All Together






So I've got the control panels built, shaped, filled, sanded, and painted.
I started this weekend getting the cabinets put back together again.
The goal is to have them ready for sale come Christmas. I think I should easily
make the deadline. They are looking good, I'm happy with how the control panels
turned out once sanded. I wish I would have primed them since the really soaked up
the paint. But all in for two cabinets I plan on selling I think they look good.
With tomorrow being a holiday Monday (Canadian Thanksgiving) I'm hoping I can
get some of the Jamma wiring started if not completed.
