It's been a while since I've had any content, but I've finally picked back up an old project. Progress may be slow. Shout out to Tully and yots for the inspiration.

The wood

The cab

Coin door

Controls

Classx leaf button and leaf pro

Nice!

Love these cabaret builds. Is that white melamine you are building it out of?

That's just pre primed ply wood. Birch maybe?

yotsuya · « **Reply #3 on:** March 05, 2019, 03:33:42 pm »

Man, I haven’t been this excited for a build thread in like forever. Good job so far!

Im a big fan of Ginger's cousin , Ball Buster, making a cameo!

Looking great so far! I love the simple geometry of cabaret cabs. Makes me wanna build another.

thomas_surles · « **Reply #6 on:** March 05, 2019, 09:29:06 pm »

I tried to use a router for the marquee but my guide didn't work out and it looks like garbage. Gonna have to clean that up.

thomas_surles · « **Reply #7 on:** March 08, 2019, 11:41:37 am »

Well progress is ramping. Got most the photoshop done and found a 13inch CRT TV. So this might move to finished sooner than expected.

Here's a small update with the coin door.

So is your CP going to be on the same plane as the bezel area around the monitor? Is it all one piece?

Yes one piece. I will update later with the custom bezel cp.

Can someone give me some tips on the no no parts of this so I dont die?

thomas_surles · « **Reply #12 on:** March 08, 2019, 05:19:45 pm »

Alright got in the monitor. But I think I need to lower the mount about an inch

javeryh · « **Reply #13 on:** March 08, 2019, 06:15:34 pm »

You are flying thought this build. Looking good. Love the CRT.

thomas_surles · « **Reply #14 on:** March 09, 2019, 01:21:20 pm »

Now the monitor isn't showing picture. I can hear it power on but that's it. Got a little jolt fiddling with it.

yotsuya · « **Reply #15 on:** March 10, 2019, 04:21:34 pm »

With it turned off, just make sure something didn’t come loose. That happens a lot with the CRTs when you decase them.

thomas_surles · « **Reply #16 on:** March 10, 2019, 07:22:38 pm »

Looks like I'm back on track. Still adjusting the art files to get ready for printing. Anyone still printing here?

Yes 13 inch CRT TV. It's been almost 2 years waiting to get a proper monitor for this build, but never found one. I couldn't wait anymore to start so I found an old TV. Wont get the best possible picture, but it beats an LCD/Led in the looks department.

tried dicking with it all Saturday and failed. Found another 13 inch on Facebook for 10 bucks and grabbed that sunday.

Also if I leave it on it does turn back on when I unpplug and plug it back in if anyone was wondering. So boot up should be smoothe.

You might be able to find a "sample" from a plastic company that will be big enough for what you need. Probably get away with just paying shipping too.

Honestly cant say yet. Had them a long time and haven't hooked them up before. They look very sensitive.

Le Chuck · « **Reply #34 on:** March 13, 2019, 05:30:54 pm »

That’s not too dark for CRT. Galaga had some dark glass. That smoked plexi should be legit

Would it be too dark for the bezel and cp art?

Le Chuck · « **Reply #36 on:** March 13, 2019, 07:22:51 pm »

Probably, unless you do them in vinyl and top mount them. Then nope

OR do a second layer of clear plexi over the smoked with the art sandwiched between the 2 !

I really considered it. But I settled on a standard galaga marquee.

thomas_surles · « **Reply #54 on:** March 17, 2019, 11:51:53 am »

Paint is coming up. Is rustoleum satin black the way to go? Oil base? Foam trim roller?

thomas_surles · « **Reply #55 on:** March 28, 2019, 09:33:20 pm »

I didn't find satin black so I went with the semi gloss. Looks really good in person. Used little cabinet rollers and a trim brush. Artwork should be at the door soon. I suppose I better cobble up something that can play galaga.
