Description

This is my ultimate Arcade Machine. It was made after making 5 others, (I figured I had done it enough times to get it right. ;-)

All I started with was the cabinet. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what it was, as the paint that was originally on it was that bad. :-/ I stripped it down to the bare wood, and started from there.

(For those of you who are wondering, that is a true Ms. Pac-Man cabinet in the background. Everything in it is original, I'm not touching it because it is in excellent condition with only a few scratches. I would not ruin a good machine like that)
