Worked on this all day,
Didn't think I had a lot to do but turns out I did and a few bits took ages.
Step 7:
The back.
The back has 3 bits,top bit,bottom bit and door.
Straight forward enough just had to make a few cut outs to match the original.
Mark out your cuts,
Box off your lines and use a router to cut them out.Far better job than a jigsaw.
and this is your finished cut,as you can the cut is lovely!
Step 8:
I drilled the CP and did some routing to let the stick recess and test fitted the latches.
Step 9:
Back to that speaker grill.
So I found out I should of used a 8mm slot cutter for this.
I didnt have one and couldn't get one today so I used a 6.3mm
I made a gig up on the bench for routing and marked out the lines
I actually made a balls of it the second time so ended up doing a third one!
took ages but it was worth it in the end.
Small bit of filling to fix a few chips.
After sanding.Very happy with this
Step 10:
Stick all the bits together
Step 11:
This is the bit I was dreading.
The lower bezel/cp timber.
This is made out a massive lump of birch.
This is a cross section of it.
As you can see the CP slots into this and the bottom of the bezel so it was a bit of a bastard to get right but luckily my uncle is a pro and wasnt phased by it.
He made this part
i was going to strengthen the lower bit but there was no need to in the end.
Also the top of the CP needs to be flattened off to fit in.
This was a bastard of a job and again my uncle did this on the panel saw.
here it is installed.
At this stage I test fitted all the brackets and the plastics.
All looked 100%.
I forgot to take a pic tho!
Step 11:
Paint!
Base coat on .
And thats it for the moment!
I've ran into a problem and another possible one.
I havent got the right slot cutter for the Tmolding.
cant paint until the slot is cut !
And I dont want any grain to show through the paint so Im not sure if I have to use a spray filler on it first and sand it all down so going to shoot some blue onto it during the week and see where Im at.
So deffo wont be painting till next saturday !0 -

Put another full day into this yesterday!
The slot cutter I was waiting on hasnt come tho
still I was able to get some paint on!
First up close up of the CP slot thing!
Oh thats a lovely fit!
Now the exciting stuff!
Black paint!
Painted the inside because if you paint one side of ply it'll bend!
surface tension caused by the paint apparently.
Then masked up and first coat of blue on!
Its wet in this pic!I'm very happy with the blue:D
I still gotta make and paint the black foot thing,cut the T slot and them im going to do 2/3 coats of clear lacquer over everything.0 -

Yea I sent the 20" polo chassis off to grantspin.
I had put a 9pin crt socket in it instead of an 8pin
apparently I cant count.It fit perfectly tho in my defense
and he fixed up a few other bits on it.
60 or 70 quid but should be good for 20 years tho......touch wood!
The monitor is rotatable too so when funds allow I'll kit out the spare panels with more than one button !
Will defo have a 1p6b shump panel for it anyway.
hoping to have it home by the weekend.0 -

Ah here I thought you said you might as well do it properly?
joking
So I tried out the tmolding and the .4mm was too much for me.It felt like it was sticking out a mile in my opinion.
so only one thing to do.Offset the slot .4mm so one side is flush(the outside) and trim the molding.
Set up a router on a piece of ply and trimmed the .8mm off half a meter then move the tmolding,rinse and repeat.
Took an hour to trim and clean up the hairy bits but worth it.
Lovely slot:
Trimming the tmould
Lovely fit!
Hard to show in pics but it was well worth the effort trimming it off and cleaning it up properly.
Starting to look like like a nintendo cab now!(no tmolding on till I get it home)
The blue looks really dark in the pics but I think its spot on!
The foot is done so the wood work is finished!
All thats left to do is paint the foot/CP black and give every thing one more coat of clear lacquer.Thats all getting done today and I'l be able to bring it home tomorrow evening when its dry.0 -

It'll be interested in seeing what the total cost is at the end. For the work you've put into that, €500 does seem like a bit of a bargain.
I dont!
Its in well into candy territory for sure!
Ah
I dont care tbh.
It'll be a lovely cab and flexable too.
I might invite Billy Mitchel over for a few cans

I'll be the best part of 1K by the time its finished I'd guess. And that's for a replica, and it the cost of an original monitor/board and things get scary !!
Looks great but the cost of building these is a whole lot more then people think
I'll give you €200 next year for it 0 -

No issues at all,
I had them to hand during the build so the cab was really built to suit them.
I was eager to get the side art on last night but said I'd do a bit of research on the location first.
Seems like they were all over the place from the factory.
Im going to keep it nice and high like this one,
I think it looks far better than this one
