Here is my Mame cab:

I wrote my own game for it (first pic). I included pinball style buttons on the side for FP/VP/Wildfire. Now I am building a pinball cabinet and making my own FP table for it.

I plan on raising the back monitor and putting a real LED DMD where the current back glass monitor is. That is why I am so excited about Louizou's project.

Rooter, I'm loving the design for your control panel on your MAME cab! I'm still using a Tankstick for mine, but I'm about to build one for my brother.

Do you possibly have plans for that design, or was it just trial and error? I'd love to emulate that on this new build I'm doing!

Thanks! I have the AI/PSD files sitting around somewhere. I'll see if I can dig them up when I get home. There is a spinner in that empty hole in the middle now.

That would be great. I would REALLY appreciate it. I've got all my parts (aside from the spinner), but I've been really struggling on the design. Your CP definitely caught my eye, and I think it would work perfect for what I'm doing (retrofitting an old Dynamo cabinet).

Does this have the actual plans for the cp, or just the art? I need the actual building plans and dimensions.

Howdy,

So here's an update to the project. Although not completed, there are a few items still to work on but it's fully playable and fun as heck. Some playtime videos will be coming soon but I thought for this next WIP, we could take a look at the various parts installed in the pincab itself.

A big thanks to Maaca.org's Sparky, everytime I lift the "playfield", I think back at how much of a homerun your feature is; thanks!

Next up will be either me playing some games AND/OR will be focusing on the plunger/nudging board.

edited: for some reason, the youtube embedded link only shows up as a big white square for me, so in case others have the same issue, I've just put the link in on its own.

That's looking awesome Loafer! I've been contemplating pincab kits vs a real pinball donor cab for a couple of years now & I think after watching your wip videos that I might just follow in your footsteps. Looking forward to more of your videos. In fact, feel free to go into greater detail at some point if you're inclined. There are folks like me who could benefit from your experiences.
