Quoted from seshpilot:While I do think we could have done it with the game fully loaded with the monitor, boards, etc..., I'm still glad we took as much out as possible to make it as light as possible.
It's a good idea even aside from the weight because the shakes and jars of moving the game just increase the chance you're going to jack up the more delicate parts anyway. That cockpit probably slid the way down but every time I take a game down stairs the repeated bumps make me cringe.
Quoted from Saveleaningtower:looks great. i wish i had the skills to do something like this. can you just explain what difference the original monitor would have made. your screen shot looks good and seems to fit the entire glass. was the ampliphone just more reliable?
Ampliphones are not necessarily more reliable (they may be less reliable) but they look noticeably better so they add considerable value.
