rdhanded2 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I am pretty far along on my project so I thought I would share some pics, and say thanks to everyone here. You have all helped me out TREMENDOUSLY. I wanted a pedestal so I could use my TV, and also move it around when not in use. I found an old Tekken 3 cab that was the style of the pic below someone was throwing away, and was in bad shape. I removed the front monitor part and got to work on it My Tekken 3 pedestal conversionBasement Bar / Arcade

rdhanded2 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Posted January 17, 2012 Big thanks to analogkid666 for giving me the idea to use a router and flush trim bit to cut out the holes in the plexi. Made it super simple and fast. Used the router to sink in the u-trak so it is flush with the plexi as well. My Tekken 3 pedestal conversionBasement Bar / Arcade

rdhanded2 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 Not the TV it is going to be used on. Basement bar is not done so testing it in the living room. My Tekken 3 pedestal conversionBasement Bar / Arcade
KyoKusagani1999 Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Alright, You've got quite a project on your hands. It'd be great for Capcom CPS / Naomi games in that regard since EVERYONE loves to use these in arcades that still exist all around the world. It's A Conversion cab, but without 10x the hassle of swapping the games every time. Congrats, you deserved it, rdhanded2!
rdhanded2 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 Thanks guys!! I found the control panel art on the FTP actually, and tweaked it for my setup. My Tekken 3 pedestal conversionBasement Bar / Arcade
rdhanded2 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 Finished it up finally. Now just need to finish the game room and get it out of the living room!! My Tekken 3 pedestal conversionBasement Bar / Arcade
