    Default Congrats!!

    Super job! It looks great!
    And thank you for taking the time and documenting this process for those of us that may decide to tackle this feat in the future. I look forward to seeing how you make the bezel...although if it was me, I'd say it's complete the way it is

    Here are a couple more pictures of the machine in it's nearly completed state. First up are the internals. The monitor is a stock CRT PC display with some slight modification to it's base. It sits on the original Pole Position display shelf. I then surrounded it with some small boards to keep it in position. To provide protection from rolling or wanting to flip forward I also strapped it down with a bungee cord over the top, secured to a pair of eye screws. The computer shelf is secured to the lower PCB radiator mount on one side and a pair of L brackets I installed on the other. All cables are secured out of the way, yet are accessible for any repair work. The power strip everything runs to is accessible through the top coin door, as is the speaker volume control. A pair of small push buttons are located near the coin door inside as well, one for computer power and the other for computer reset.



    A few more of the cabinet over all and the control panel...



    I want to replace the Atari sticker on the center of the wheel as well as the cardboard bezel as mentioned before.

    I was taking a pretty big bandwidth hit so I removed the pictures and uploaded some quick youtube videos instead.
