More Vertical Madness !

Managed to paint the bezel the other night. Need to fill some counter sunk screw holes, print the instruction cards and finally come up with some handles or something for rotating the bezel and screen.

First up is a very blurry photo of Frogger in all its vertical glory.



Attempting to show off the full cab with failing light and an flashless camera.


And another similar shot.


Coolio.

Vertical Madness !

After a loooooong gap from Arcade Machines I finally decided to dump the TV screen with its handmade VGA-SCART cable and plumped for a 23" widescreen monitor. All with then intention of being able to rotate the monitor for vertical games in MAME plus I thought Future Pinball would look rather nice. And I was right.....

So the screen in its horizontal position with a carboard bezel acting as a template.


Then some Future Pinball love action.


Ahhh once my favourite all time arcade machine.... Bridlington '84....


Phoenix. 'Nuff said.


All in all its looking good. Just need to slightly modify the bezel as you end up switching the monitor off every time you so much as breath on it. Plus it needs painting and instruction cards need doing....
