the strip you see in front is just to hold the cab together , will be removed later

cutting the base

now i needed to get a router and routerblade

i get a new one , i will use this for other projects too.

finding the routerblade was more difficult i went from shop to shop and finally found one.

Thinking about a horizontal setup because it will be a two player control panel and must play all kind of games, an led lcd big as possible (23" ?) and using a slg3000 generator for scanlines.

coindoor placed

Not original they are very dificult to find here in europe i even never saw a DK cabinet irl over here :-D

Ya in my one Nintendo cab I used vertical and other horizontal as is never feels right to play vertical games on a horizontal screen and vice versa.

I used a 23inch led screen in mine and it fits perfect with like 1/4 inch on each side of it in the cab. If you wanna see what its like Nintendo cab with horizontal screen and 2 player setup

Works really well and plays great with 2 people without being big and bulky looking lol.

BTW your build is taking shape and looks like its going to be great, very nice clean work there :)
