21-04-2015 9:03am#1So its been a long time since Ive had a new cab.
A year has passed since I finished donkey kong!
So when this little poker conversion came up for 100e I said I'd take a stab at it.
When its finished its going to be a dedicated neogeo cab!
A bit rough around the edges but it has potential.
First job was to get the gold tmould off and strip it down for a clean.
looks like the CP has gone through a few revisions over the years!
Swiss cheese!
Got it stripped down to the wood pretty much,
The whole front section is getting new timber in a better more traditional configuration .
There was two large dome headed carriage bolts on each side I had to bust out.They were rusty and wont go well with the finish I plan on putting on this.They left massive holes in the sides :eek:
All the metal work needs to be stripped and repainted.
ANy one got any good ideas for stripping them ?
getting it prepped for paint.
I've filled all the holes/gouges with isopon,
ready to be sanded back.I think I might have to skim the lot to get the finish I want.
Going to be a custom (but simple and tasteful
) paint job.
maybe Destiny???
The monitors that came with it all had screen burn (joker poker)
So I decided to use a 14" TV.
I've never done it before but I have to say Im very happy with the result!
The TV comes on with power,switches to AV and the image is very,very nice.
Hard to snap a good pic of it
Made this Jamma to scart adapter
using this and a few tips from the last bandit!
watch this space!12

Looks nice, I've used a TV before a couple of times myself, the hardest part is decasing them.
I've a load of duplicate neo carts here BTW;), I'll hook up with you with the paint and joysticks this weekend if you are around, expecting paint any day now, man US shipping is slow

Ah should be ok,
Just talking to my uncle there.
he said I'll have to skim the whole lot with isopon to stop the grain showing through the paint.
Also I wont be able to lacquer it if I paint it white as it will yellow.even with non yellowing lacquer!
Its still going to be white tho

The picture is slightly to the left,but a nice picture.
Hopefully I'll be able to get into the setup menu when i get the original remote.

So,
I was down in my Granddads place today.
He died in Jan and they were clearing out his house.
I spotted his old TV in the skip!It was in it a week and it hadnt been rained on.
A 20" philips vcr combo.Looks like it will fit in the cab with some modifications.
only thing is tho it doesnt switch on with power like the other one and again no remote so haven't been able to access the engineers menu.
Also got a few bits from arcade world.
Getting these sticks off Cathal too.

Sanwa buttons and Seimitsu sticks on a poker cab!
With bat tops!
This thing is going to be insane I think.
Buttons are going off Monday to the paint supplier to be colour matched exactly
Got the new tmolding too.
Before I can go any further tho I have to get the coin door.0 -

TBH I couldnt live with that.
found a tmould from tmolding.com that should suit.
I got the remote for the 20" monitor.
cant get into the engineer's mode on it and I cant control the brightness
and its too high by loads.
I can control everthing else,sharpness,contrast colour but the slider for brightness just does not move.
Very anoying.
might be able to do something with the screen pot on the flyback tho but I havent decased it yet.0 -

Brightness adjust not working with the remote ? Did you try stripping it down and cleaning the contacts on it?0 -

Hi, I had a similar issue on a build last year, cabinet was built in 18mm sheet material with vinyl artwork mounted on 2mm foamex leaving me with a 20mm to trim.
Was originally going to get wider T molding but then figured I'd try it with a flat chrome trim first.
I removed the 3M tape from the back as its ****e, then applied contact adhesive to both surfaces. While waiting 20 mins or so for it to cure I got loads of strips of masking tape sorted out.
I stuck the trim on, taping it in place as I went. after a few hours the adhesive had completely bonded the chrome to the edge so I removed the masking tape and peeled back the chrome trims protective layer. The results were great. I was chatting to the customer recently and its still looking good as new almost a year later.
Could be worth a try, just make sure its good contact adhesive and not the bargain shop rubbish. If you don't start hallucinating while using it indoors then it's no good.
Get a LOT of masking tape strips ready, theres time to do this while waiting for the contact adhesive on both surfaces to be ready, you'll be taping every couple of inches on straight sections and pretty much covering it on the curves. If the cabinet edges are porus then apply a layer of adhesive first, let that completely dry to seal it and then carry out above steps (including re applying contact adhesive to cabinet.
Heres a few pics of the end result, you can see how well it went round corners.

So it turns out you can fit a 20" tube in a poker cab!
Had to drop the monitor angle a bit .
Because of this I'll have to drop the glass too
One thing I've discovered is the angle of the CP is insanely uncomfortable
You could probably play for 20 seconds before requiring wrist surgery.
So Im going to have to flatten the CP.
Something like this I'd say
A bit ugly but whats the point in building a machine that cant be played!
Hoping to get in into the workshop tomorrow and get all the woodwork done.0 -
