Cabinet is complete (other than the insides)

Here’s a thread at Build Your Own Arcade Controls forums showing the before and after pictures:

Control panel is complete

I finished the top of the control panel last night.

Got the cabinet and ordered parts

Went to Wichita Falls, TX and picked up the cabinet. The guy lived across from Chuck E Cheese and down the road from another arcade, so getting cabinets didn’t seem to difficult for him. Aside from the Track and Field, he had a Nintendo Playchoice, Tekken 3(?), Street Fighter II: CE, sitdown Cruisin’ World(?), and a BABY PAC-MAN! The Baby Pac needs lots of work, but it was cool to see.

I ordered all of my parts, just waiting for them to come in.

I’ve just been taking everything apart and cleaning. I’m still not sure on how to install the monitor, since it will stick out too far in back. The control panel layout isn’t a problem, but how to go about making it is. It would be nice to have a keyboard drawer installed, but I’m unsure of the best method. I’ve had several ideas, just not sure which way to go.
