Beautiful work. I have a thorough understanding of RetroPie, I can wire up controls, and source the games, but wood working is what is holding me back from building my own machine. I applaud those who can, but I’m also super jealous, haha. Those are keepers for sure - it’s amazing your little builds got you into pinball!
These look great! Can I ask how much they weigh? Do you think they’d be too heavy to wall-mount so I wouldn’t have to have them sitting on a table or something?
On a game like Donkey Kong which uses a 4 way joystick. Do you have to buy a joystick that is specifically a 4 way or is there an adjustment for an 8 way joystick to make it behave like a 4 way joystick. I got a gift of an X-Arcade tankstick from a friend and it has 8 way joysticks on it.
Great question which I forgot to talk about in the video. There is a restrictor that comes with the Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT. It's a clear plate that can be snapped onto the bottom in one of two ways depending if you need 4 or 8-way control.
But you can also download the restrictor from Thingiverese and print one (if you have a 3d printer). I did this on the Cuphead bc I didn't have the right restrictor. Maybe it's available for the joystick you have.
Awesome builds! Just curious about the artwork...did you get it all (minus the marquee) printed on adhesive backed vinyl? Any details to share on that process?
@JonHoule yes exactly it was printed on adhesive-backed vinyl with a UV resistant clear coating over the top of it. I got them made by a local commercial printer and probably cost $20-25 per cabinet (2016).
@JonHoule yes, and it is tricky to do it and not end up with a crinkle at the end. I had to be really careful not to stretch the art in any way... but yeah, they are both done that way. Thin plexiglass bezel cut on the tablesaw with a thin kerf blade made for plastics. File and sand edges smooth, then remove the protective covering, and then the vinyl graphic was applied on the front.

Glad you like them! Thanks!

That's actually a great idea that I had not thought of. They weigh about 25-30 lbs I believe.
Great video can I ask how you made the marquee? Did you buy them or print them and if so what did you print them on?
I bought the marquee from GameOnGrafix.com
You can specify the exact dimensions of a marquee and they will print to size.
These are amazing... Why are you not selling these outright?
Not enough hours in the day :)

@@duffysarcade One last question...did you lay the vinyl decal over the plexi for the bezel?

Yes sir! Completely scratch built. There's a nice walkthrough video here all about it.
