09/03/2002 - With the cab in its permanent home, I have found new inspiration to finish it. I have 1 joystick, player 1 button and player 1 start wired up. I lost my ESC and 5 keys in my hack somehow and have decided to order an I-PAC.
08/28/2002 - Alright...here is my painting advice. Paint the cabinet where it will eventually end up. It seems that when you use a roller at night, under a florescent light, in the garage...you think you have a perfect coat. When you look at it the next day in the daylight, you see all kinds of imperfections. I had a buddy help me carry it upstairs to its home. I am going to "finish" the cabinet there.
(Not to mention that is has been in the high 90's in Arkansas where I am)
08/20/2002 - Have 3 coats of black paint on the cabinet. Purchased the official MAME "Black Marble" contact paper for the control panel.
