I've been keeping an eye on his work and rarely do I see a custom cab
thats far surpasses the origional. MVS console and now this(see page
for neogeo cab)

If only he was in full scale arcade machine production, We need more of
his kind.

The purist in me was expecting yet another hideous MAME cabinet
conversion for me to taunt and disparage. Wow, was I wrong.

I'm not sure which I like more: the brushed aluminum side panels, or
the "LED coin counting display that also computes how many cases of
beer the money stash will buy."

Geez, I wish he would have gone into some details about cutting and
applying that brushed aluminum stock - I would love to build a
digital jukebox for my shop using that scheme!

The only positive criticism I would give is I think he'll regret
not putting in a piano hinge and hold-downs to have a swing down
control panel, and, although I like his marquee, I think he should
have done a "double marquee" with an original electro-luminescent
six-slot Neo-Geo mini-marquee holder. Last but not least, where's
the memory card slot (nit-picky'ish, since I've yet to meet anyone
who actually used it.)

All in all, tough not to be awfully impressed with his work - thanks
for sharing!

Take a look at his building article. At the end he writes about
building his own pinball. I'm not sure anyone here skipped over it but
i won't spoil it. Skip to then end and look where he counts down.

I hope he seriously does the theme he's thinking. (hint: its better
then the ritchie rich pin theme, sorta)
