Can you reply?  I'm trying to resolve this.

You should introduce yourself first, before you make an agressive infiltration to our forums and start to insult somebody here.
Just my 2 cents of course.

Hi,

Apologies for not making an introduction and I regret that my first post on this forum was not a positive one.  I do not make a habit of upsetting people. 

I'm Jon from the UK,  I'm a member of the KADE development team, and a big advocate of community based projects.  I spend a lot of my time building arcade cabinets and working on arcade related projects.  I'm a software developer.

Here's a link to my project site:

and youtube channel:

I was shocked to see this thread and believe that I am justified in my public response and my questions about the authenticity. 
This is evident now since bencao74 offered to add a link to the sources he used from Haruman's thread on BYOAC:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,130522.0.html

Please read through the first posts for the attribution requirements.

It was not good that this was claimed as own work on this thread and that led to my prompt and strong response to the counter.

Sorry that we got off on the wrong foot but it looks like we can put the CNC issue to rest soon -if bencao74 can update his first post with attribution as he has suggested he could do 

Regarding the SLG3000:
Bootsectors work is based on Sharksym's schematic:

Regarding SLG3000: It started already in 2010 in this thread: http://www.arcadezentrum.com/forum/showthread.php?10390-Scanline-Generator-%28Video-Hardware%29 - don't think that bencaos flux compensator adaption was good enough at that time to travel a year forth and get inspired by the schematic you posted

Totally out of scope, but I have received a small box (with a nice post-it inside of it) from your side some weeks ago, with a KADE device on it

Yes, sharksym put some credits on his site for our SLG3000 project.

Here`s the re-engineering thread on nfggames for the SLG3000.

http://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=4422.0

The SLG3000 is mentioned there.

Somehow Bruno missed that. Perhaps you could clear this.

I sent you a PM for the other stuff.

[degenatrons]

Thanks for the PM.  I have replied with suggestion of how we can resolve.

[Luigi]

I'm glad you guys can sort this out!

[bencao74]

I`m glad, too. Added some words the first post.

So I´m on the final lap





The bartop will come with option for two materials :

- one pre-primered MDF like in the pics above.
- white coated chipboard.

I´m working together with a professional supplier for Arcade Cabs in germany. This supplier was also doing the German Hellomaten Cabs.    

[bencao74]

Yesterday I picked the Arcade Bartop from my supplier. It was a kind of 5 hours roadtrip with 35 degree. The climate system gave up



Finally arrived at the supplier and first I doubt about the space in my car.

He has prepared two another prototypes, so finally I`ve now made 4 prototypes





here`re only three of them.



Ok, now my gameroom looks like this

Now the bartops will be packed and shipped.

Cool, how many cabs will you make for the first run?

[bencao74]

30 pcs, the chipboards ones are almost sold already. The other type is MDF with primer foil. So the paintwork can start right away.

The wooden and aluminium panel can be exchanged by just loosen four screws. The screws are hold with rampa fitting from the bottom.

Whenever there was open edges we`ve used now mitre joints. Take a look at the back doors. Usually the backdoor is hold by additional bars. The used technique in this bartop has a fastening fold.
