Mame cab build.
Re: Mame cab build.
First before I post up some progress... Can anyone tell me what kind of connector these are?
They go to stuff like monitors and PC power supplies. I have two of them running into my cab and would like to reduce it to one.-

Thank you. It was driving me nuts not knowing what to search for.CunningFellow wrote:IEC

Things are moving along. I wired P1 but I ran out of crimp on wire terminals for P2 so it will have to wait. Still need to buy some trim to cover mistakes, and a couple pieces of acrylic to cover the monitor and hide the bezel. The software needs a lot of work to get it looking like one piece of software.

Re: Mame cab build.
After some configuration hell this week I got back on track with the build. Here are some shots of the foam-core mat I cut, and another decal I added to the cab.

Re: Mame cab build.
Moving along today with another test of the cold cathodes. I cut some more acrylic for the front but I'm planning on frosting parts of it to make the cathodes a tad less harsh. Particularly the green. I have 2 green and 2 yellow in the cab and the green are between 2 to 3x brighter. I placed the cab on a box so I could see the lights I put in to back light the underside of the cab.

Doing a little more finish work today. Covered up some mistakes with aluminum stock and temporarily screwed on the front plexi.

Re: Mame cab build.
Thanks. I hope to get some more work done then tape a video of this thing in action soon. I still don't have speakers installed and some trim. I think I've done ok for someone building this out of mostly stuff laying around. I could have made must nicer but I would have had to spend money.greenpower wrote:Nice cab!
