            @chicuelo hmm, yeah you're probably right. But hey, it's the Indiana Jones font. Everybody loves that..

            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

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

                        @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
