Project : Arcade - In Between

I received words on my cabinet today. It was sold :( Well the guy had a bunch more, so all's not lost still. Fortunatly he had some good ones, and they look in good shape too. The paint, control panel and monitor area are usually not a problem, it's the actual outside that can have chipped corners, and that's the harder part to fix.

So the guy sent me a list of pictures to show me what he still has in stock, and this one seems to fit the bill :
A Street Fighter 2 cabinet. But I have doubts it's original, I've posted this on the Arcade Controls Forums to see what they think. It doesn't look to be broken, and despite what you see there's no screen, from what the guy said. Doesn't matter since i'm putting my old 12in computer monitor in there.

It will need a paint job, but otherwise looks okay for the needs of the project. I should be getting it tomorrow, so I'll post more pictures from every angle then.

I already passed the order for 4 Joysticks (Happ Competition, black), but waiting on finishing up more details before ordering buttons. Like I need to know about the control panel itself, so the colors don't clash too much. I wouldn't want it to be too rainbow-ish, like this picture, 4 colors for 12 buttons? Gee, I'm no professional, but I'd think that I'd rather have more a more uniform color scheme.

More next time!
