<![CDATA[DIY Candy Cab Arcade.]]>Hi fellas, long time no see.
I've sadly come to terms with the fact that I will probably never own a org New Astro City or a Egret II, so I built my own Candy style cab instead.
Made with mdf, high gloss vinyl, a overclocked Pi4 with a RGB-scart hat (rgb-pi), an B&O Beocenter 1 26" crt screen w active speakers. I'd say its about 3/4 scale.

I use the "insert 100 yen" plaque as a credit button. but maybe I'll macgyver it so two wires touch when I insert a token in the slot or something.
