I dont think size is an issue , as these cabinets are packed pretty tight and un-assembled in a flat box. They had a pallet with about 20 games stacked in two rows ( 6K in retail ). Sure there are small items that can be expensive, like jewelry, but other things like bicycles take up a lot of room on the retail floor. Yesterday they had a pallet of 3 dollar candles taking up major space.

I have put together 6 cabinets. The wood parts seem OK when you pull all the parts out of the box. But once you screw all the parts together , it really stiffens up and appears strong as a cabinet. At 63 lbs complete seems light weight , but all the weight is saved using an LCD screen, smaller cabinet and smaller boards. I recently bought the Galaga, Asteroids , PacMan and Centipede , all sitting on risers. I plan on making some lighting mods for these cabinets that will really enhance the look in a gameroom.

These are Not garbage, well built and a lot of fun to play. If you enjoy arcade games of yesterday, these are for you. Well priced and looks great. The licensed artwork alone is worth it on the cabinet , bezel art control panel. I have 4 of them and play them everyday. Playing these games on a computer with hand held controllers sucks, no thank you. I have ALL of the classic games on my playstation. Sure they look the same on the monitor , but totally different gaming experience. The way these machines lights up my gameroom, next to my row of pins is awesome. No Nintendo on a TV screen can pull that off. You can keep your 30 year old termite infested , 300 pound cabinets, with rotting bases, scratched artwork and unreliable computer boards. I will play my , wife approved, brand new games any day , thank you.

Quoted from GLSP3022:

Ran across this website that offers custom A1U artwork for cabs and risers.
https://arcadegraphix.com

I will be carrying his graphix packages for Arcade 1 Up machines and pedestals on my website shortly ( modfatherpinball.com ). I really like his graphics he put together for these machines. The CPO graphics and pedestal graphics are pretty cool. I will also be developing new mods for these machines , including all kinds of cool lighting for them. Custom arcade PinCups that match the games graphics and color, arcade controls handles and bats, illuminated joysticks and buttons, Custom stools , decals and even a padded step for the pedestal when you play in socks and want a comfortable spot to wedge your foot on the pedestal . Good things are coming, stay tuned. The ModFather

It will be an LED light strip in white mounted over the marquee with a custom bracket and metal visor to block any glare. It should work great , developing it now. I already added the cabinet graphics to my website , and will be adding the other A1UP mods shortly.

The Golden Tee looks awesome with an authentic Happ trackball. Very cool !! I bet a Dig Dug cabinet is in the works as they have it built for the counter cade. Defender looks great too, the button configuration is right on ( hyperspace is a little high on the CP ) no biggy. Throw some Stargate on there( add inviso button ) , and ya really got something there.

Its about 750 bucks to do a full swap out with Retro Pi , full button and joystick swaps.....etc. Thats not including the graphix

Quoted from pinij93:

Anyone get past level 13 on Galaga. Or do I just suck.

Level 22 for me. Its right after the 4th or 5 th challenging stage , where it gets ridiculous. My top is a shade under 200,000 and a shade under a 1,000 shots fired. So close on both scores for me. Frustrating , but very challenging. When I Jamm Metallica and play Galaga, I say " time for some MeGalaga". Good Times .

Quoted from Classic_Stern:

Buy the original Vector games as is. If you want a smaller foot print buy the cabarets. I have a cabaret Deluxe Asteroids with Asteroids, Lunar Lander multiboard. A cabby Battlezone and Tempest. They are amazing and an Arcade1up just cannot do anything close to original. Battlezone and Tempest in the cabby original form is such a fantastic game. emulation can't do it.

Where can I buy these you speak of ?

#1994 5 years ago

I am what they call a Stargate Specialist. Logging hundreds of hours of Stargate Flight School, I can tell you its all in the button configuration on this game. Nothing else works , no emulation , no multi williams cabinet.....nothing but the original on this one.

I just picked up the 12 in 1 online with the riser for 280. That's like 240 for the 12 games without the riser, even less than the Black Friday sale at WalMart. I am pretty happy with the purchase, as the bonus games of Asteroids Deluxe , Gravitar, Liberator ,and QUANTUM are on there that are not on my centipede or asteroids cabinets I have. I cant wait for the MKII and Golden Tee cabinets to come out next, those will sell great. The mix of the cabaret A1Ups and pinball machines together looks quite stellar. A great value, multiple games , brand spanking new and a lot less than 1500 dollars. WiN WiN for me.

Its funny how people think these are pieces of junk , disposable , putting it out with the trash when I move....etc. I just dont get it, they are made from 1/2 inch MDF wood, screwed together with internal bolts, long screws, slotted channels for wood panels to connect flush, many internal supports. They are plenty strong enough to support a light weight LCD screen and some button controls. Yet some people here feel compelled to throw them off a roof and compare them to a commercial cabinet made from 3/4 inch plywood that weighs 300 pounds and costs 5 times as much. I personally don't have that much disposable income to be throwing these things out. Why the same people come on this thread to bad mouth these games is beyond me. It is like going to the Metallica thread and try and convince everyone that ACDC is a better band. It gets old man, let it go already.

#2057 5 years ago

^^ No Way !! ^^ I cant break 200,000. wave 23 roughly , and I'm out !!

I make a led light bar that goes over the marquees to light them up nicely. I also made a kickplate light bar that illuminates the lower portion of the game. These light bars uses the original marquee. I have not put them on my website as of yet. I have made a few custom arcade pincups that mount to the side of the game to hold that cold beer, definately not on the CPO. I also have all kinds of cool graphics for the cabinet and pedestals for all games. Colored trim kits and colored screw hole covers are also going to be for sale soon.

I just installed my A1UP spinner from Glenns retro show , 50 bucks. Works awesome and has an aluminum low profile spinner knob, plays great. Easy installation, plug n play.

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

Did you install it into the 12-in-1 or a Mame cabinet?

I bought 2 of them. One for my asteroids and one for my asteroids / centi combo 12 in 1. The 12 in 1 requires a seperate board where the spinner and the track ball plug into , then the main wire goes to the CPU. Waiting on the board to be made, couple of weeks.
