It's amazing how fast you build these cabs from scratch. :o And with such precision for all the details. 8)

what amazes me even more is the fact that you're doing this in your LIVING-room. when i use the router to cut the t-molding, there's tons of saw dust flying around. i would never do that in a place like that ...

but as always:  :spaceace: you're a genius when in comes to replicas!
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

Does your wife think you're a crazy geek ?

She must be nice, cause building a cab in a living romm is not really WAF compatible.

Yes this is a problem, but I use large sheets of cellophane, and after the work I clean the whole room (double work  :o :-\ :P)

Do not worry...same for me  ;) At least they are on our side, even if they don't play the games  ;)

Damn! You work very fast... or maybe it's not a real time 'Work In Progress" (like I use to do  ::) :oops: ;D)

Anyway, great job!  :spaceace:
