For my previous build, I cut the cabinet pieces by hand, but for Ms. Pac-Man I wanted to try something different, machine-cut pieces.

I purchased an old Bally / Williams coin door on eBay to use for my Ms. Pac-Man build. The door was obviously old and corroded pretty badly. I cleaned up some of the parts and tried my hand at nickel plating.

This will not be my final post about Track & Field, but my work largely ended several months ago. I also touch on some pieces I want to revisit.

For an authentic video game experience, I wanted a working coin meter in my scratch built game. Knowing very little about wiring, I needed a lot of help from the community to pull this off.

Another post on wiring. This time I cover how I wired all my bords into a switching power supply with fuses. I also cover why it's been so long since the last update.

After many, many hours of running wires and crimping pins and terminals, I wasn't very thrilled to revisit all this work in the form of a blog post. Much like the wiring job itself, I pushed through and here we are.

This post is about the challenge of locating perforated aluminum, creating speaker hole and vent covers, and also speakers to a lesser extent.

In my third and final post on the control panels, I show how I locked them down using some angled steel so they can’t be opened by players.
