@clyde no, you're right but they're on their way, fold down or push out cup holders on the side I'm thinking.

I was thinking the same thing. I started poking around the internet for ideas and I think your best bet if you want to have pop out cup holders is to look on automotive parts and get one of their spring loaded pop out cup holders.

You could have a simple pull out drawer or swing out fold down holder, but I think this calls for some push button or push release system.

@lurker I can probably get my hands of one of these
Its a SAAB cupholder. :)

I think in another style of cabinet it could work, but you are using wood and stylish materials. I think a Gatsby style one would look better. Just an opinion. Very nice build. Love those buttons

Back from the dead.. It only took about 2 years, but over the weekend I dusted of the ol`booze station.
Redid some wiring and made some upgrades;
New Bezel / CP / marquee & new buttons.

Sorry for #zombiethread

Welcome back!

edit: typo (as short as that phrase was …)

[Dipkid]

I cant stop messing with 'em.. Now its a Cadillacs & Dinosaurs cab:

And, yeah I'll probabably have a change of heart in like next week, so the bezel and the new artwork is done on easydot vinyl .. (easy to remove)

[Clyde]

That looks great! I like the overall vintage design combined with the more modern-looking buttons and the silver joystick knob.

[Dipkid]

The dead will rise again..
I told you a year ago I' d have a change of heart..
Well, now its a Pac-Man cab..

[WeirdH]

@dipkid Very cool. I'm also looking forward to 2025, when you will probably have converted it into a full 2-player Daytona setup. :D

[Dipkid]

@weirdh 😅 this pic is actually a week old, I have since then changed the monitor and the bezel..
