Goretro74, you don't get what we mean, we appreciate your effort, but we have our doubts about it. (measurements, button layout etc). By the way, what is with the white blocks on the picture? Family that you don't want to show, I assume.   :) Could you take another picture, unblocked? Then we have a better view.

   Thanks Ckong! The measurements of the cpo, bezel, and marquee were cut to fit an original Pac-Man. Same with the DK cpo, bezel, and marquee were cut to fit the original measurements of DK cab. I haven't measured the cab but it was smaller than what the Bezel, and cpo are that I made so, I had to modify the top half to make it wider.

    About the white blocks...I wanted to give the image a matrix effect :lol:``just kidding man!`` If I don't have the permission of the legal guardian, then the white blocks would be the explanation for them being their instead.

   I will get some more clearer pics when I am back in town, for the time being I used what I had on file.

   Ckong here is a link which are close to the measurements, dimensions, shape, and how the cabs in Greece were like. This is what I got and converted into what you see.

   The coin door I took apart and restored. Primer and a fresh Semi gloss black paint. The frame is from the electrical board I took apart and cut the edges open to the size of the door.

   The inside part. There was also a key hanging inside the door when I bought it.

   The underside of the cpo.  The micro switch's and buttons are held in place with 1/8 thick polycarbonate plexi  which I heated to take the shape as seen in the pic. Cheesy but not bad for a Rookie! :lol:

    The plexi painted in grey gives it that metal material effect.

    The Marquee lit up with the toppers I made and painted (except for one  :ghost: and one missing). The joints are faintly noticeable but I am not picky for a first timer. I was thinking of adding some lighting inside each ghost figure and Pac-Man.
