Hi,

I just discovered your project and already love it ! 

I could have helped you since I own the US version of this cab ! But unfortunately, it is not stored where I live and can't have acces to it. In a few months (let's say mid 2014...) things could be different.

At least, I have a set of pictures I took during the roadtrip I made to get it ! If you want the high res pictures (and possibly other pictures), do not hesitate to ask me .

Good luck in your project !

Wow, you're making big steps in the right direction

May I ask how much you paid for the WICOs?

Thanks guys for the support - as always

Thanks Little_Rabbit for the help (I really appreciate)   ... you can send the pics at the email in my profile. Thanks!!!

Too much  but I had no alternative (around 40€ each) but I'm happy ... Wico joystick kick ass

Someone on KLOV mentioned he had recently sold a pair for ~$200...so 80€ the pair is not bad

Planning and testing ...












I can't wait to start the real work ...

Well it looks like you are on your way - hopefully all my measurements are fairly accurate.

I *might* be able to get the missing measurement for you in the next week or so - depends how it goes with the painting (hey, I work slow).

[Luigi]

Wait...do you already have the PCBs or this an emulation?

Hey!! Nice to meet you here!! 

Thanks again for your precious help

Posted over on KLOV, but the missing back door measurements:

in mm

34 = 602 (fairly sure on this, but hard to be 100% as I still have that part of the cabinet masked off for painting)
35 = 598

width of the upper door is 620

I hope to start next week   stay tuned ...

Scr33n: can you keep a log of cost? It will be interesting for people to see cost to make one before they commit time and effort. I'm sure it's more then buying ready made but how much more.

Sorry but absolutely no cost log on these things but believe me for us (European) less than an original cab, and in this case even more (Robotron is also expensive in the US).

No problem with the emulation. It's still not perfect in Mame but it's a good deal. Are you planning to use the original hardware if you can get it?


About the costs....I guess that importing all this stuff from USA isn't cheap either
