At last! I was able to complete this project and the results are amazing! I am very happy how it turned out! This cab has seen worst days, but I promise to give it a good home 😄 I will definitely be continuing on a new thread for my last part which will cover the marquee and its...

I've been quite busy last week and wasn't able to post any updates, but at least I was able to pick up the cabinet from the paint shop, and the results are great! I will let the picture do the talkin'.:D Hopefully my last step is to assemble the whole cabinet and see how it would look like...

After struggling with paint removal, I have finally finished the hard part. This process took quite a bit of time, which took around 2 weeks to remove the old paint. I was able to take the cab to a body shop last weekend for a final clean-up and a fresh coat of paint. I had left the inner...

More paint stripping To be continued...

I Started to remove the paint from the cab, I was struggling with this as it was one layer of paint after the other. This is due to the fact that the service dept in the gaming center did a poor job servicing their cabs, mostly repainting on top of the original paint, either using a paint brush...

The next step is to remove all the wiring and put it aside for the time being, keeping in mind where all those ground wires go when rewiring. I might need to change the control panel overlay since it looks a bit worn out! I will try to give it a bit of cleaning if it helps, probably towards...

I have been putting of this project and prolonging it for quite some time, trying to find an excuse to stay away. But I have decided that it is time. When I first started working on the cab, I had power issues (not enough power to run the main motherboard). The screen would turn on, but it...

Any updates on the marquee? would love to see some teasers :D

Looking forward to it 😍. I would appreciate if you could compare the screw holes in my drawing with the marquee holes, if I did it correctly it should match. If not, let me know where to adjust and I will do it accordingly. Thanks.

I had some time this weekend to draw the Marquee holder and the marquee base holder. Special thanks to @nem for providing precise measurements and @joeks for providing feedback. I would appreciate any feedback on the drawings. For whomever want to laser cut the parts, please feel free to use...

Specially for parts that are 30+ years old. Better safe than sorry! Looking forward to this! Please satisfy my OCD and let me know if my assumptions are correct 😝 Keep me posted.

What great news! That's even better! At least this will clear things up and you'll be able to reproduce it without issues! Thank you nem and joeks 🙏🏼

Joeks, I was also puzzled by this and was looking at it through the weekend. It seems to me that the last part (extra acrylic layer) is a double acrylic. meaning, this is the part where it will be supported by the base itself, while the front (black) acrylic will slide from the top and only is...

And you delivered :thumbup:🥰 Thank you nem for your time and effort, I really appreciate it! These pictures are more than enough to get an idea about the inner design of the EL Panel, and the size of the marquee (front and back), as well as their configuration. Now, I will try to do a CAD/PDF...

Looking forward to this :D
