lightley sand the serface and paint on or spray PVA glue it will dry clear then you will have a shiny serface to stick your vinel. got to admit i do this to new MDF to give it a quick easy serface to work with! then it stick's like shit to a stick!!!lol befor you aply the vinel litely spray water with just a smij of sope helps get the bubbles out. Then I use a rubber roller starting at the top of cab and slowly work your way down pelling the backing 6 to 9 inches at a time then roll up to the backing it will push the moisture out so dont worry! if you dont have a roller you can use a scraper but you must fold a duster or soft cloth around the tip. hope that helps??
hi gerble1000 there are two usb connection's for the top gun just unplug one or the other usb one usb for the recoil and one for the gun you should also check that your usb on your PC is giving out 5V i had to change USB jumpers on my motherboard to give full voltage because the top gun can draw a tad over 5V
Hi headkaze the speakers i use are the Creative Inspire T7900 - PC multimedia home theatre speaker system. cost 58 pounds OEM from ebuyer UK , pluss there mag shilded so no probs with the 28" screen. I fitted the speakers to the top so it would throw the sound out when turned up full (for the juke box side of things+ movies) key board draw was tight but just fitted under the control deck pic below.
thanks Jay T there is a good site i use for the arcade art work. It's catalog of art work is allways growing so give a go see what you think! http://www.localarcade.com/arcade_art/ I live in the UK and a good friend of mine has a 6 foot printer which can print stright to sticky poliy vinel it can get a little pricey but the over all look beat's painting!! he can print anything, he did all my art on my cab. (it took about 45 mins to cover the cab) all my arcade cabinets can have fully customized art work well worth it. If any one is intrested just give me a email i will be happy to help. Thanks Leon. aka. (Rustynutts)
hi jay T the lights on the side are not lit up there infred so your eye's will not see them but any camra can pick it up. speakers, mounted at the top of the cab middle and back 7.1 way over top I no but as a juke box it can pump the tunes nice!!! the rear speakers fitted to the back of the cab are angled 45 degrees so they rebound for the souround.
WOW thanks headkaze, the monitor is just a standard TV with S-Video and scart RGB (handy for the game cube). I would recommend the LCD Top gun but it can a bit fiddley tryin to fix the two sensors then calibrating "PAIN" but well worth it. Thanks for the kind words Headkaze. Pic of the cube in the coin door!!!
Hi all I thought i'll let you all no that the LCD Top Gun works a treat on my cab. I just squeeeesed! the sensor's between the monitor and the cab. Had to make a new seround for the monitor and cut some slots for the gun to see the sensors.To finish the overall look of the cabinet I mounted the monitor level with the front of the cab. (made it much easer to clean the monitor) no need for plexi glass! Here's a pic or two to see what you guys think!! PS, Keep up the good work Tom!!
you can print any of your arcade art work on to white sticky back plastic and then apply straight to the perspex its mutch easier it worked a treat on my markee. here is a pick of the markee stuck on to the perspex

I'm useing a creative 7.1 audigy 2 ZS sound system. pluss i have played with the setting in the creative control pannel but same prob????
Hi Tom, could you please tell me if there is a way of switching off the stereo exsiter (it's a bit like the SRS WOW Effects in media player) as listning to tunes on the album seletion screen sounds great but then i go to the Visualization and it the sound gets a lot of revurb. (sorry for my spelling) i have looked in media player to make sure that SRS WOW is off but still get the reverb in Visualization?? Thanks in addvance Leon, AKA Rustynutts.
