I bought my leaf switch holders from these guys they shipped really fast and to my surprise they came with leaf switches.

Chriz99, what did you use to raise your PF glass away from the LCD screen?? Was it runner padding on a roll??, im looking fir such a thing but cant seem to find anything other than windows insurlation

[chriz99]

I used an self adhesive EPDM rubber / foam strip (~15mm thick, to allow heat circulation between lcd and playfield-glass), like this

[lettuce]

Cheers chriz, the big block omn that bottom pic, is that just one strip or 3 or 4 strips stuck together. So your glass is 15mm away from your LCD PF?

[chriz99]

yes, its just 1 strip, glass is 15mm away from lcd.

cheers

So how did you get such good pictures of your cabinet? I am struggling to get a good picture of the cabinet and the playfield. Looks like you did use a flash correct? Did you use a bounce flash off the ceiling?

[chriz99]

Hey Volley,

there are pics with and without flash. Without flash I use a tripod. Moreover, my Panasonic DMC-FZ28 has a very good automatic-mode.

Did you use a bounce flash off the ceiling?

No, just a normal flash. Take the pic a little bit sideways, so the flash isnt 100% visible in the pictures.

Hey Chris,

What 30" LCD did you put in your cab? Did you decase it? Any chance you could give the inside dimension of the top part of the cab? I'm trying to figure out what I can put into a similar widebody cabinet and it's tough to find 30" LCD's, most are 32".

Thanks!

[chriz99]

the 30" comes from ebay, it's a noname 720p lcd-tv with dvi-input. and yes, you have to decase it... here are some pics, fits perfectly:

the inside dimension of the backbox is 69.5cm (width).

Noticed you sprayed the metal frame of the LCD chriz, were u able to take the frame off to spray it, or did you just mask the screen up?

hey lettuce, I just masked the screen up before applying paint.

hey lettuce, I just masked the screen up before applying paint.

Cool, did u spray or brush it on. Also do you just have just glass on the back and or bezel aswell to cover the frame, or can you see the fram through the glass as its black?

[chriz99]

I sprayed it black (dull finish). It fits so perfectly, its nearly invisible due to the small metalframe and the black paint. there is no additional bezel necessary.

heres a bigger pic...

[lettuce]

Cheers for the pics, ill probably spray mine aswell then

[Takedown]

Thanks Chris, the close up pics really shows how tight a fit it is.

[chriz99]

ordered some inexpensive mercury switches which I received today. got the tip here in the forums.

I use it for front(top) nudging. works very well so far love those miniswitches.

[Takedown]

Hey Chris,

I keep coming back to your cab to help in guiding decisions for my cab. You've got a sweet setup here!

Did you happen to take measurements of the decased 46" and the decased 30". Also what model of SHARP LCD did you use?

Thanks.

-Ron

[chriz99]

hey takedown,

46" is a Sharp Aquos LC-46 D65... decased around 108cm x 62.5cm.

30" is around 69.5cm (width).

[chriz99]

got another parcel today

playing around with my new intel i5-750 quadcore (4x2.67ghz)...

so far it runs @4x4.31ghz pretty stable. I love overclocking

I will test it with visual pinball later.

[chriz99]

second update today

installed 3 usb-ports, headphone/mic-jack and a cardreader at the bottom of the pincab.

[kurt]

Awesome idea mate

[lettuce]

Yeah that USB hub looks sweet, where u get it from?

[H4CK3R]

I bought 3 of them off ebay... 5 bucks each.

I was going to use the Neutrik A to B pass through but I think this desk hole style on works out to be cheaper.
