New Project: Arkanoid


Recommended Posts

I've had the parts for this one for a while, finally started to build her up.

 

14" cabaret style cabinet, wood grain and physically solid cabinet.

 

Mitsubishi 14" CRT, Jomac chassis. Arkanoid pcb.

 

Work so far:

Basic cleanup and stripping of cabinet

Wiring in 240 (basic screw terminal, no switches yet)

Psu and chassis wires

Jamma harness beginnings, connected power and video

 

Games up and running. Nice picture. Not bad for a bit of work this arvo.

 

Todo:

Wire up spinner

Finish jamma wiring (coins, audio, start and shoot buttons)

Find a way to backlight marquee, normal 18w Fluro won't fit!

Hopefully better 240v distribution with fuse, switch and filter

Strip and replace the control panel

Add artwork for marquee, bezel and cpo

I actually hadn't thought about that. Previously the machine used an unlit marquee.

That's the front view. I'll have to check my junk piles. I may even have some white led blocks (4 Smd LEDs per block) I could use!

Certainly a beaten up old control panel and has seen a great deal of varied use.

 

Whats going on up in the marquee?

Is that a panel or perspex in there.

And whats that tube looking thing at the bottom of the marquee.

Is that an Able amusments sticker on the marquee or am I imagining that.

 

Should look good with some TLC.

Yeah, the cp will be the most work to neaten up, but not too hard.

 

The yellow in the marquee is actually a sheet of laminated wood! And yes, that's an able amusement sticker. Who were they?

 

The tube thing is a piece of rounded timber, holds the marquee in at the bottom.

I think @illawarra_steelers was looking for Able Amusments memorabilia.

 

 

For the Marquee, What about cutting out that backboard so it's just an edging

or replace it with some pieces of timber to get the strength for the top box & stop the

perspex falling back in.

 

Then you can put a decent light in the top box (Not too close to burn/score the marquee).

Another thought!

 

Just mount 5 or 6 multicoloured smd mount leds directly behind the marquee (on the backboard)

and have the colours flash through the marquee like a Christmas tree.
