I had a good set of artwork scans for Ghouls n' Ghosts and wanted to stick with a 1-player game that could work well in a mini dedicated cab so it seemed like a good choice.
I got straight in touch with FrancoB as I knew he was working on some very nice conversions to see if he could make new perspex for me. What I was aiming for was the bezel & control panel in 2 pieces each, so I could sandwich artwork between them. A lot of work, but he agreed to 'put them in the queue' :awe:
All the hardware removed and tested to make sure a CPS board would actually fit.
All side art removed
Switcher fitted, tapping 240v from the line filter
Loom fitted
Video wiring done so for the first time I could fire up the cab and see the game. Lovely monitors in these cabs for sure.
I set about making some adjustments to the art to make it fit the cab, and wanted to add a rigid topper similar to the original one.
Printed pieces arrived and looked great!

Franco sent some pics of the finished plastics, my he's good! :awe:
Today I got the plastics and some buttons & the stick I was waiting on so was able to finish the cab after many months.

Bezel:
And here's the finished cab in all its glory. I'm really pleased with how it turned out, I tried not to cut any corners and make it as good as I could and I hope that shows.
Thank you again Franco for the super plastic work :awe:
Get a real sense of the size of it against these midi uprights!
