Classic arcade shooter resurrected!

I finally completed one of my all time favorite arcade shooters. I've had this Sky Shark kit that I pieced together from various source for about a year. I finally found an empty cabinet to put everything into. The cabinet was stripped down to the wood and refinished in black formica and red t-molding. I installed all new buttons, controllers and harness. Everything works great and it brings fond memories of the old Circle K conveinent store in Florida many years ago. Some may notice that this game olny requires 2 buttons, three are installed. The third is for when I install a multigame kit to run addtional boards that support the third button.

I got the formica at Home Depot. It's used for counter tops. About $50 a sheet (4'x8').

i will defineately look into that thanks

Nice job on that!

DO you have the dimensions of that cocktail you put together? I'd like to take a shot at building my own.
