Hi, folks. I posted this on FB ukvac, thought i would post this here too, even though this is not a real electrocoin machine, hope thats ok. Been working for the last 6 months nearly, on completing this cabinet. A kind owner gave me some measurements of a genuine midi cabinet, and i set about making my own. Plans were drawn up, and i think they are pretty close. Using 18mm ply, with dowel's. Just like the real ones were put together as far as i can tell. All cut by myself, so hard to get straight cuts on anything using a jig saw and an old circular saw, but it worked out ok and everything fitted ok. The yellow panel is my template, which i used to make sure all the holes matched on both sides, plus all the dowel marks for the inside boards. Graphics courtesy of Oliver at Arcade Art Shop of course, great quality as always. Running a pi5 with a rgb-pi gen2 scart lead, into a consumer 20in crt tv. The crt gave me some issues with it being quite fragile, and heavy, but i got the bezel cut out in the end, and the pcb is supported with a thin mdf sheet, so far this has worked really well, and im able to remove it and mount it either horizontal or vertical.
Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable project, highly recommended to anyone.
Anyway, enjoy the pics, i took over 300! while documenting this build so this is just a few of the best ones.
Thanks.
