      @cyperghost thanks :D
      Yes, even at only 4/5th of the size it weighs at least 40kg, maybe 50kg. You can push it around quite easily, it stands on 4 plastic knobs. But lifting it is definitely a two men job!

        10-12v on pin 8 in the scart connector could also power on the TV

          @DorkVonWaterfall cool, thanks for letting me know. But I guess there is no way to switch it to the AV channel with help of the scart connector?

            @9600baud i guess you have the pie connectet via rca now,right ? (Because the old tv has no HDMI)
            So, a simple rca to scart adapter should solve that problem...

              And then you plug in minijack to rca audiocable and you can have audio on the tv aswell, no need for extra amplifier and speakers

                Very cute!

                The 4/5ths size looks really good.

                  4/5 is a great idea! I appreciate the videos that show it being played, as you get a much better sense for it's size. You get all of the nostalgia (artwork, iconic form, etc.) without the imposing presence of a full-sized cabinet. It's also kid-friendly!

                    @caver01 Yeah, thanks! The kids of my colleague, 7 and 5, played it and it's perfect size for them :)

                      Great cabinet! Seems an ideal size for a small appartment.

                      What is the plastic frame you used around the coin door?

                        @Pads You mean this? coin door
                        It's part of the coin door. All sheet metal.

                          @9600baud Yes I didn't realize it was part of the coin installation

                          Thanks!
