iPad Marquee Masher

[Phantom]

Hey,

 

Just wanted to show the update I did on my cabinets Marquee. I started using Marquee Masher a while ago with a monitor sitting on top and since I couldn't afford a nice Bar Stretch LCD I decided to try to make my own LCD Marquee using an old iPad I had laying around.

I ordered an LCD Control board off ebay (Took a couple of months) and stripped the iPad so all I had was the LCD with no Bezel.

I mounted the LCD in a 3/4" plexi so it was flush and then I printed out some artwork to surround the LCD. Then put everything behind a thin piece of Plexi to make it all Nice Nice.

 

The static Marquee Mash screen is just a continuation of the printed artwork, and it changed as menus and games are selected.

I plan to update my digital artwork so that the logos and banners have the printed artwork behind them to make it more seamless. Also 1 Day I think I'll use more iPads to make my own Stretch LCD.

Great way to repurpose old hardware, I'm sure stigzler would highly approve

 

Your CP reminds me of a modded version of a 4 player Slik Stik panel I drooled over for years.

Nice work!

Love to see still good hardware repurposed. My wife cringes when I suggest buying something new, yet expects me to not hoard stuff. Hmmm...
