MAME Cabinet – Addendum

Posted on 11th March 202129th May 2021 by Wobbles

Another blog I thought I’d lost forever but managed to recover using the Wayback Machine Web Archive. I built this arcade machine from scratch back in 2003. Unfortunately, I no longer have any of the pictures of the work in progress but I still have a few of the finished product! Sadly, this cabinet no …

MAME Cabinet #27

I finally finished my MAME cabinet in summer 2005; two and a half years in total! Actually, it was great fun building it and I would recommend anyone who enjoys MAME to have a go! It really does enhance the arcade experience. To sum up the final construction: I bought a nice quality MAME logo …

My Marquee retainer arrived from Happ Controls. I’m not quite sure how to fix it on yet, but until I get my marquee sign made I’m not going to worry about it too much. I also ordered some spare buttons and a replacement switch for one of my joysticks as one of them had lost the …

MAME Cabinet #25

Posted on 6th February 200528th May 2021 by Wobbles

I bought some Plexiglass the other day from B&Q. After making some careful measurements I marked out the required shapes on the Plexiglass using a felt-tip pen. I knew that cutting this stuff without breaking it was going to be a challenge, but it had to be done! Fortunately, I only need straight edges so …

After much web searching and thinking about what to use as a bezel I eventually decided to make my own. I based my design on the tutorial from Dens Gameroom. However, since I didn’t have an existing bezel that I could use as a template, I drew my own design based on the pictures shown. I …

Oh my god! Was it August 2003 when I last posted on my MAME Cab? Where does time go? Well, it has to be said I haven’t too done much with it since. However, I have now bought myself a new widescreen TV and donated my old Philips one to the MAME cabinet. Here’s a …

MAME Cabinet #22

Posted on 31st August 200328th May 2021 by Wobbles

I bought a glue gun and had a go at gluing the T-Molding in place. A fairly slow process but a satisfactory result. The hot glue sticks the T-Molding to the wod very well. I also taped on a paper print out of the marquee I’m going to use. I’ll probably get a nice semi-transparent …

I’ve finished painting my cabinet! It takes great patience waiting for each coat of the primer to dry and then for each coat of the paint. However, it’s worth it in the end and I’m pleased with the result. I have also attached the front door using the hinge I bought. I had to get …

MAME Cabinet #20

Posted on 18th August 200328th May 2021 by Wobbles

I made a start on spray painting parts of my cabinet. I quickly discoverd that spraying directly onto the MDF was not going to work very well. So, I took yet another trip to B&Q after work to look for some primer. I discovered you can buy specific MDF Primer, so I bought a tin. …

In an attempt to keep some progress going on my MAME cabinet, I decided to take a trip to B&Q (hardware store) yesterday to buy some parts I knew I was going to need: – a piano hinge : The panel at the front which will house the coin door will also swing open. – …
