This Cabinet right here is the icing on the cake for ya games room, wicked machine :). How is the mrs-is she screwing about a 3rd machine LOL?

Lol, thanks. Yeah, she was ok with it. Kinda flipped out when it wouldn't fit in the house. XD

Hey man I've been wondering when it comes to painting your units what paint do you use, Im guessing a spray kind but anything specific?

[lukemorse1]

Nothing to special. Just sand them down (for the ones or places that need it) and use some primer then use a few coats of some enamel paint. It's not as strong as the factory paint is because it doesnt' include the glue to make it really super hard but it repairs all te blemishes on them : D

Remember......arcades are more important then furniture. After all furniture just stays there. Arcades give you entertainment.......so the hell with everything else!

[lukemorse1]

That is some seriously good advice to live by. I'll take my coffee table out next week. I'll replace it with one of those classic Pac Man table arcades we used to play at Pizzaria's : D

@MartyPotatoes Auto grade paint,sand it down with a 600 grade sander then use a 1200,then apply white auto paint,then apply any color as long as it is auto it will last forever

@lukemorse1

Those yellowing doors are down to them using a fire retardant chemical that degrades and yellows as it does,.

[xyanide1986]

Nice video and story, what's with the gloves though? There's a few paints that do discolour easily like you have on the door panels.

Those cab are so cheap here in Japan.

Greatest cab ever but NEVER, NEVER buy a cab with a burned screen.

Picking one of these up in a couple weeks, should look great next to the Egret ^_^

damn man you are seriously hard core. it looks like you have more room taken up by arcade machines than actual living space. Usually I'd assume that's one room of a bigger place, but with a lot of the apartments i've been in in Japan I'm not sure that's a safe assumption haha. anyway nice collection!

probably due to heat source
