Have you considered putting an old cell phone inside the unit? Then have the USB power out the back. That way you can do a video loop of the game demo on the unit's screen. I have 3 old phones sitting around. I might try that.
Hi my friend you gained a new subscriber! Ive been trying to make them and ive wasted so much material. could you post the files to get the sizes right? also the sizes to cut the wood? im sorry man, your video helps a lot but at the same time i cant get it right without the actual sizes. Thanks again my friend.
I have been wanting to do a stop motion animation that takes place in an arcade and been looking on how to make arcade cabinets and this is THE ONLY VIDEO I found that actually went for the look I was looking for, thank you and when I finally make it I will definitely give you a shout out. Thank you so so much
Really nice work. Just one tiny thing, no criticism at all, but what about a tiny silver round doo-dat for the lock on the coin door? You thought of every other detail. Great work. Subscibed. !
I just buy those mini arcade games you can get at Walmart. They're a little on the small side, so I just build a bottom onto it so that it's raised up to the right scale. I want to try and make a 1/12 scale semi-functional pinball machine. I've seen other people make them, but those don't function at all. I'd at least like to take it a step further and add some functionality. As far as that functionality goes it'll probably only amount to being able to pull the plunger back and shoot the ball into the machine. I've been looking at those little cheap kiddie toys that function in a similar way to a pinball machine. The ones where you pull the little plunger back and shoot these little balls onto certain racks with different points assigned to them. They're cheap crap, but they're what first gave me the idea. Trying to make the wings functional is probably beyond my capabilities, but I've still got some ideas. It will obviously never function fully, but I need something a little closer to the real thing. I'm even going to add lights. I just have to get all the parts assembled. Trying to make one based on an actual pinball machine would be cool, but it would just be way too hard trying to match every little detail, so I'll probably just use that as a starting base, and then create my own thing. It'll be really hard because of all the small pieces, but I think I can find a way.
Brilliant work man, I made a miniature arcade machine randomly as a kid out of cardboard one time - I wish I still had it. This brought back memories of that and totally took it to the next level. Awesome stuff. One question though.. How did you cut out the stickers so well after you put the arcade together? Just traced?
Dude I'm your fan, I'm Brazilian and I always post your videos here. very good Congratulations. Could you divulge the measurements of this arcade or make the casts available for download? A big hug friend.
Those are really cool! I’m just wondering has your business of selling them suffered since Walmart started selling all those little working mini arcade games? Obviously yours are more to scale…
What are using for joysticks? What are the dimensions/measurements for each piece you're using? Gladly give you a shout. Would love to see the old fashioned tv you made - I've seen it in 2 videos with different pics. Are those 2 different TV's or can you change images?
Shadow Moses I'm using colored push pins for joysticks.. I don't even know the dimensions, sorry.. I sold all my cabs, and I used different sizes depending on what the customer wanted. The TV has swappable screen inserts.
Feb. 2018--Thought this would be a useful how to video, but you lost my interest when you came to the decal part for the machine. I've Googled arcade images and get nothing but photos of the machines....no full front or full side views that I could copy/made decals of. And no, I don't have photo shop either. Would of been nice of saying where you imported the images from. While no thumbs down, no thumbs up either.
Feb. 2018----Let me add to this. I was using arcade game photos for my Google search. When I used arcade game side view images, got a lot of 'em, but few for side views. At least it's a beginning. And will give the tacky glue/super glue combo a try, so at least I learned something new, hence the thumbs up now.
The cabinet decals are one of the hardest parts of a project like this. I've spent hours and hours researching and scouring the internet for proper images. Unfortunately there's no one magic word to Google or one site that hosts all the images you need. It's research and trial and error.
This was recommended 3 years later. Thanks YT! These are fantastic!
Damn man these are sick. Was gonna buy some at Walmart but I think I’ll make my own. Thanks A lot
Thanks Man!!
Push Pins!!! Of course! Great vid as always!
Just used this tutorial, it was perfect. Made a Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga combo machine
Siiiiiick, especially that X-Men cabinet with the magnet idea. Crazy work here man, love it!
Thanks Brotha!!
Prop master Mike!
Cheers!!

Awesome stuff. One question though.. How did you cut out the stickers so well after you put the arcade together? Just traced?
Thanks Man!! Years of precise cutting and really sharp scissors.
Could you possibly add what you used in the video to the description and what dimensions you used for each piece?
Cool arcade bro
Thanks!!
Big questioned I wasnt able to find was what are the measurements for the arcade cabinet?
Dude I'm your fan, I'm Brazilian and I always post your videos here. very good Congratulations. Could you divulge the measurements of this arcade or make the casts available for download? A big hug friend.
Dope stuff per usual.
Thanks!!
Really good video
Cheers!!
How about WWE Legands Arcade or Terminator Arcade game how about pinball machine and skiddle ball ✌😎
You could articulate the joysticks with some gundam joints.
Tystarr2k2 Great idea my dude!!
Please take my money! 💵
Those are really cool! I’m just wondering has your business of selling them suffered since Walmart started selling all those little working mini arcade games? Obviously yours are more to scale…
If I took commissions I would be swamped with orders. But I don't have the time to fulfill that many orders. The Wal-Mart ones are decent tho.
where do you get the templates for the graphics? I'm hoping to do this project soon just got my '16 Sdcc TMNT and think it'll look cool together
+xavier r I usually make my own. Frankenstein different images from Google.
@@PunkerMike yeah I actually found them really easy, already got them saved.

Shadow Moses I'm using colored push pins for joysticks.. I don't even know the dimensions, sorry.. I sold all my cabs, and I used different sizes depending on what the customer wanted. The TV has swappable screen inserts.
Is it possible to make one of these for a 3:3/4 and 1:18 scale?
The other option is to pay 20quid for a working mini arcade that's perfectly scaled
What's the measurements? To all the pieces
Do you have a template for theses ??
Saludos las arcades haces para vender porque quiero una
What width did u go with?
Would you be interested in selling a couple of these made and assembled by you?
Where you say you got the decals?
+Jeremiah Tubbs I custom made them from random Google images.
How much would u charge to make me two of them? 😎
Do you sell these?
How much you charge
please i need stickers TMNT Arcade
you do know they sell them right? they even sell some that the game actually works
Mad Maxx Mine are better.
The ones I think your talking about are not in scale to 6" and 7" figures.
