did you think about the possibility to use a mame inside? so you can avoid any risk of faulty pcb.

Post by: mauroconga on May 21, 2014, 02:51:35 AM: sure ... ;)
my idea is insert a 20" TV and a PC with MAME (only the oldiest , pre 90´s)

the status... i`m retired the CP planks to make a new, approaching the original CP :
