Up and running!

First coat of paint, electronics in, up and running for the first time. Quite a mess of wires, we'll clean that up later. It's working, that's what's important. Next items to be installed are a replacement amp, reset button, and oh yeah, joysticks and buttons! Coming along nicely though.

Starting to look like something!

The first template!

This plywood template was the very first tangible piece of the arcade. We would go on to refine this design and eventually used it to cut out the first two cabinet sides. A new template is in the works to design a Nintendo style cabinet!

The first cut

Team 816's Danyon Carpenter (A.K.A. Olaf) makes the very first cut to build Arcade816. As you can see, MDF is a messy material!

Legendary.

In 11 months, this pile of MDF will become legendary.
