They seem reasonably priced, surprised they are still available.

 

[Flyback2021]

wondering if anyone has any documentation of this Caninet being used by Electrocoin at a trade show ?
Definetely an Electrocoin built cabinet (poss originally Lethal enforcers 1 ??)
Converted with a very nice genuine kit including Marquee(Plexi , side art, cpo ) board also and Hantarex monitor. finished to a very night standard and picked up with other Electrocoin cabinets earlier in year.

Going on that it was only a kit

Cheers mate!
Looks like Deith Leisure were the distributor. I have not seen a full kit on a cabinet before which is surprising.

They look in decent nick but LCD monitors I think. I have one and the CRT protrudes out of the back a couple inches with a plastic cover like the old Sega mini uprights. Looks like one has been covered with wood and the other a replacement door.

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.

Brilliant job @Mikkytee looks amazing !Love the midi design .

 

[Bods]

Amazing work @Mikkytee

Just shows what you can do with basic tools, brilliant you took the time to use dowels to assemble how originals are, much better than using off the shelf brackets inside
Have you done much woodwork before?

 

[Mikkytee]

Thanks fellas. To be honest, i would say im handy enough with wood, i had built a cabinet before but it was more of a mame machine, nothing like this no compromise jamma replica. I had the idea in my head of how it would go together, and i just winged it really I just loved the midi shape and size, it turned out better than i could ever have wished for to be fair.

You have done a great job , not surprised you are pleased.
Thanks for posting on here I thought it would be received warmly in this thread when I suggested it!

Great job on the Midi, it looks absolutely amazing! You need to make a row of them now!

It was a good choice to make, they have a really distinctive style and they're absolutely tiny. Really cool little cabs.

Wow, that recreation is incredible work and love how you've tried to get every detail right as close to original as possible. Well done that man!

Did you manage to find a lot of the original metal work to use?
Anything you didn’t manage to source ?
Good job on the stickers .. working on a full set to remake but a big job

 

[Mikkytee]

Hi no I didn’t manage to find anything original sadly. I got the control panel made at my work. Marked and drilled the holes and the brackets that the latches grab onto. Same with the marquee strips. Handy enough ☺️ forgive the wiring, this was my first attempt at wires and dupont connectors. I tidied them up before I installed the panel.

Great job with the panel, looks like you have everything covered !
