Why doing road trip so far... or pay so much $€£ ?  :oops: ...when you can do such beautiful replica like this   ::)
Because there still is a difference between a newly built replica with emulation inside and an original that has lasted about 25 years and has seen a history of arcade life. The "feeling" is different.  (and we all love roadtrips ;) )

Don't get me wrong, I totally and completely admire and love scr33n's incredible work and I sure consider doing one (Q*bert, when Jrok's board comes out). For us Europeans who cannot reach (or at least cannot reach at affordable prices) original cabs, this is a great alternative !  :spaceace: :spaceace:

Those family pictures are lovely  :-*

you are doing a truely amazing job.
really.

Could your work be considered as a time machine ?
To be honest, at the glory time of those cabs, I've never seen a bunch of beauty like these,
in such brand new states.

thanks for sharing all your work in progress here.  :-*
just to show it's possible to achieve such projects.

Outstanding job, congratulation.  :ghost:
Every pub should have this game...

I have a suggestion for your next project, a upright car game, perhaps Pole Position and mame a lot of other car games in it.



See another project here:
http://www.classicplastic.net/dvgi/special-poleposition.html
But be sure you build one with Two Pedals : Accelerator and Brake

@scr33n: one thing that comes to my mind when i see your row is: why bother with sidearts if you can't see them? any chance of giving those cabs a little more space?
