Okay, bad idea. Now please let this thread die.

This made me laugh a lot. Never mind mate, just get your cab and spend the custmization money on some nice games instead.

The fact that these cabs are becoming harder and harder to find upsets me a bit when people completely **** with them.

now, its your money, so you can buy the cab and shred it to pieces if you would like, but thats not what the community here believes in.

Okay, seeing as the thread won´t die.

Revised plan is FrancoB marquee holder + these

Then thinking about what I want to do with control panel to make it convenient for neo geo games.

Maybe some restoring of the paint on the lower part of the cabinet where it looks yellowed. Don´t know if it should be retrobrighter or painted.

Btw, FrancoB. I had exactly that movie in my mind when I got mad at myself and edited all my ramblings out.

Retrobright only works on non-painted plastic. On a New Astro City that would be the speaker enclosure.
The doors on my NAC was also quite yellowed when I got it, I got them quite nice with some paint cutter.

See e.g. this thread http://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=21605

Check Psykicks thread for some inspiration: http://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3671"

But I, just like the others, say: keep it clean and as original as possible, you'll probably regret the pimpin' later
