      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.

              @zerobyzero thanks, sadly its just for show as of now. 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.
