So just to recap

This machine is made from one sheet of 18mm MDF cut into pieces at my local hardware store.it 48' tall and 21' wide

The non artwork faces are fitted with matt vinyl

The edges are fitted with chrome T-molding

The pc was bought from gum tree

And i left it in its case

The controls and ipac are from ebay

Fitted

The artwork is from my local printing company here is me fitting them

And here is the finished machine (with out final glass fitted)

And at home for final testing

And the final thing i fitted was the lock that i got from ultracabs and Jack helped me fit it ( his only 9 months)

I fitted the lock because you don't want little fingers getting into the machine whilst its running

After these pics i fitted the final plexi glass and tidied the wiring and loaded it on my van ready to be taken to its new home.........

So like all things that travel it had a little problem

When i set it up on location it forgot its bios setup,lucky i brought a keyboard and set it again no problem, then i moved it again its final position it did it again and also pushed the battery to make sure it wasn't loose

I set it up again and left it unplugged for a minute and it started ok

Im worried it maybe a recurring fault

Anyone have any idea what maybe causing this? Duff batt? Loose jumper?

Steve,

how about doing this with the buttons...

pickup 6 blue and 6 yellow buttons (the same type as you already have)

then replace the button centers with the back ones you have, so they would look like this..

cheaper than buying illuminated buttons and would work well with the Tron Theme

[monkeychunkuk]

Ohh very nice i think ill use that idea on the second Tron cab

[markdivine]

Cheers

Thanks mate

[evil eye]

Came out very nice, great job! Did you make the start up and intro yourself? Also, the intro vid is private and I can't view it. Maybe its an iPad thing. The start up video worked just fine though.

[monkeychunkuk]

I added the music to the INTRO vid but the visuals i found on youtube i can pist a download link anyone wants it?

P.s ill edit the viewing permissions see if that helps

i see your from the uk who does your art work mate?

[monkeychunkuk]

Its a local company to me called Arun signs

I've been looking at local printing companies for my artwork...what did you get done, just a full colour print on self adhesive vinyl? Did you have any coating on it to give it some resilience, especially on the control panel?

This is a good looking build too, really clean.

[monkeychunkuk]

I asked for high gloss front with sticky back,both machines ive put them on have held up ok, any damage im going to put down to the "realistic touch"

And thank you
