Been a while since last post. Refurbing a couple of Dynamos, used Behr Pure Black with red T-molding. One will be for Joe's Tetris that was in a Pac cabinet. That one is getting the same color scheme. Replaced bottoms on all of them. Got the Solitaire Challenge cabaret done, came out nice. Emergency network admin for my wife and Karen last night... Gotta move those cabinets soon...

FArkanoid is done...

Here it is!!!

All ready to strut down Peachtree Street for the Atlanta Gay Pride Parade!!!

Snow Day 2009

Rained all weekend, then started to snow today. Did mostly inside stuff. Pained the FArkanoid CP and coin door. Painted some backs. Populated the MW CP. Got the FArkanoid wired up and playable.

Tooks some video of the snow just as it had started.

Farkanoid Base Repair

This Arkanoid in a Frogger cabinet (FArkanoid) had water damage on the bottom so I rebuilt the base. Fist I cut 10" off the bottom, then rebuilt... using some creative engineering liberties...

Frogger Monitor Mounting

Got a groovy new way to mount a PC monitor in a Frogger style cabinet. It matches the angle of the original much closer to the way I was mounting 19" monitors. Where before I just used a shelf and pressed it up to the bezel. Now I just use 3 support points like I use on Pac style cabinets, and on the Make Trax as well. Block the sides in and you are ready to go!!! See picture. For additional images, go to Slideshow

Lowes Rulez

Went to Lowes for some hardware, they keep that place a lot cleaner than HD... I was actually able to find stuff... very pleasant experience.

I got some nifty right-angle brackets... check 'em out:
the small ones were only 51 cents!!! Can't wait to try them out.
