antros Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Hello Hyperspinners, I always wanted to acquire a candy cab. Last September I found one in very bad condition and I decided to restore-pimp it. The work is still in progress but here are some pics after 6 months of work. Hope you enjoy! pickup day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadly Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I see one mistake. Windows XP. You really need to be running Windows 7 X64 due to performance increases and the Hyperspin/HL crew aren't exactly supporting Windows XP. Nice build keep going.

antros Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 It's a great job from start till almost finish. Impressive. Thank you JFlash3785. I have dedicated almost 6 months in that project until now. Its my 1st one and I would like to thank all the Hyperspinners out there for the inspiration and ideas that gave me. Towards the completion of the cabinet (I am waiting some parts to arrive) I feel the need to thank you all. As for the Hyperspin part I completed 39 systems from scratch and I will add 15+ more. I will add more photos on the progress. I really appreciate your comments. The main idea is to let the children visiting my house play as I used to play when I was young back in the 80's and really appreciate that golden era, which I really miss. While the players are occupied on the main screen, the upper screen (marquee) will display flyers of the games or maybe some videos. Keep your thoughts coming!!!
