miamisurf Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 U complete Me Eski Arcade. Won this from Jim Beam Promo
gigapig Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Nice win. What crazy but cool thing to win, what thevdetails if you don't mind sharing? Any more shots of it?
miamisurf Posted December 8, 2013 Author Posted December 8, 2013 Your going to dislike this but it's non working. There is a piss poor pac man inlay-no screen and the controls move with no wires or machine parts. Jim beam ..... Wtf... On the upshot as we know cabs, love em but they are costly to build professionally finish. It's ready made... Get to put the fun bits in now. So would like ur input Guys.
Polemicist Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 My input would be to quote Nike. Just do it. I'm gonna assume that is a plastic cab? That panel with only three buttons that far apart is kinda sad. Technically it would be possible to make a cab out of it but those three buttons just kinda shit me. Sorry. Hmmm. Are they actual buttons or are they a false thing on the surface? If they are just a solid thing stuck to the surface then they could be removed. I they are put in like a normal button you are left with a hole. You could make a backing plate and get some white Perspex and cut plugs to fit in the holes then go ahead and make the holes you want. Perhaps a straight 6 button would fit? Enough guff. Need dimensions for inside and outside of the bits. And the email address of Jim Beams marketing department so I can bitch at them for being a pack of cheap ass bitches.
miamisurf Posted December 8, 2013 Author Posted December 8, 2013 Completely agree Polemicist. On the contrary, the Eski component is insulated stainless and the outside is metal with powder coated JB logo on surface. High quality finished pop riveted ( thank the skilled labour of foreign children for the attention to detail) stainless all 4 corners. I will post more pics on GiggaPigs request. The buttons are spring loaded and (shitenhousen) Never meant to be playable. I too thanked JB but would like to bitch slap the noob who created the marketing brief and prematurely ejaculated over the concept.However the ctrl fixture shows promise and 22mm button shafts could produce somewhat arcade cabinet Porn! The only thing is working about a sore neck... Not wondering where the next beverage is coming from.
Polemicist Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 *chuckles* So you can have a beer cooled arcade machine. Sweet.
gigapig Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 After piecing together your Australian conversation and a quick search, I finally figured out that you've won a freaking beer cooler? Sorry for my ignorance, I don't think we have that brand here, or the need for such things as it's too bloody cold or wet. So this is for storing Shrimp and beer? What were the promo details?
Polemicist Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 You drink your bloody beer at room temp. Admittedly your room temp is probably as cold as our fridges but meh. Nah. Shrimp is on the Barby and the beer is in the Eski. Jim Beam is for later that night when you really wanna get f'd up.
miamisurf Posted December 8, 2013 Author Posted December 8, 2013 yes indeed Shrimp (prawns) my BBQ is prelude to my gaming skills, roasting!! yes a cooler. Sorry my stralian not so good. Had to go see Bon Jovie tonight, apparently touring.. Reliving youth as much as I can. Any hoo, Feel free to help me modify this "cooler" I am sure it will be tricky
miamisurf Posted December 8, 2013 Author Posted December 8, 2013 P.s JB comes in Coke Zero...no sugar!! am on a deep sea fishing trip next weekend and a bloody mahi mahi is not going to end up in this ice Box!!
gigapig Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 You drink your bloody beer at room temp. The English people with beards do that, like this assortment. These chaps whoever, don't have beards, so maybe I'm wrong or still pissed. I prefer Cider, but don't really care.
miamisurf Posted December 8, 2013 Author Posted December 8, 2013 Gandolf knocking back a cold one this is too good !! Also may I salute out last decent politician who held many records bob hawke !! Omg the man was a saint. & warm beers are a as good as a Dickin Cider Giga you should get that one! Hehe
