I ended up getting some help from a metalworks place to cut and bend aluminum to fit.

That would be great. We're talking about the metal pieces for the box beneath the control panel, right? To protect the joints?

Hmm. Not seeing them there now but will contact company to find out. The angle doesn’t seem quite right for angled aluminum, and I’m not sure how I’d bend a 90 degree piece evenly to fit.

Ever have any luck getting these? Couldn't find them on the Suzo Happ website.

Thanks! Do you use a power on-off switch that's accessible to players? Or a volume control? If so, where do you locate them? It looks like you don't have any excess buttons on the CP or coin door area. Also, how are you handling game switching? Do you just connect the PC to a wireless keyboard...

What is the black material that you used for the transition between the glass over the screen and the speaker box? I don't think it's angle iron, but maybe vinyl? Did you bend it with heat or something?

Yes, I thought that was a great idea with the speakers. You never notice how these things make a difference until they're in place! Did you go with 1"x1" for your blocking, or another dimension (looks almost like 2x2)? If you used 1x1, did you rip it to that size, or did you just buy as is?

Fantastic, thank you. I'm basing the following on the photos. Does this sound right? You assembled the cabinet by connecting blocking to panels with screws and maybe wood glue. So, once the side panel and the back panel are attached, they aren't meant to be disassembled after that. After the...

Thank you for the detail. Your cab results look great. I'm going to do plywood, but I'm hoping to buy painter's grade. Does this sound like what you did, or did I skip / add things? Sand (maybe 220 grit?) to get down the grain. Woodfiller with something like a drywall knife. Kilz (?) or another...

after looking back through your photos, I saw a comment that you used Rustins ASAP quick dry water based paint in Satin Blue. Will you describe your painting process a little more and what you might do differently to speed it up? So, what type of roller, were you sanding at 220 each time, maybe...

Makes sense, thanks! Separate question: what color paint did you use? The Valspar Deep Space Blue?

Is your subwoofer sitting on the base of the cabinet with the speaker pointed towards the front panel, set back from the coin door? Trying to get some ideas where I'd squeeze one in while protecting the rest of the equipment.

Also, what size holes did you have to cut for the speakers?

Great build! Where did you run your power cable? I can't see it in the build photos. Is there another opening in the back of the cabinet? Does it go through the base and then through the skirt? On the side? Is there a photo somewhere? Thanks!
