This custom Sailor Moon arcade cabinet is cute!!
I spent all evening upgrading the cabinet to a 19" BOE from Buy Stuff Arcades and added the sideart from repro arcades (completing the look started by GI Joel's riser) in the UK and now this machine is already a lot better and is more like how an a deluxe Midway style Arcade 1Up should be than that new NBA Jam!!
The new monitor seems huge and it makes the characters look jumbo like they should be and for some reason seems bigger than the one in my KI Pro even though they are technically the same size and brand of monitor!
I've gone ahead and added some inexpensive Amazon speaker grills here like they used with my other cabs
I earned the money taking surveys 😅
I think this cabinet is better with black speaker grills than chrome ones..
See these 4" speaker grills that are $8 for a pair on Amazon are perfect drop-in replacements for the stock chrome ones and I think they look better especially because they match the black ports next to them..

Tattoo Assassin's is a really bad knock off of Mortal Kombat that makes me appreciate MK even more but someone made a beautiful cabinet to run it in emulation from a spare MK cabinet and I think it's awesome!
I especially like the dragon side of the artwork for this cabinet!
The tiger side was neat too!
I'm very impressed by the 3/4 scale tapper in this photo from http://reproarcade.co.uk or at least I think it is.. it looks almost perfect except I impressed the space over the marquee could be built out more and it needs to light up if it doesn't!
I love how authentic mostly everything is here like the controls and such! I just realized it's missing a coin door and that's one thing that tips it off as a custom 3/4 scale reproduction..
I like how it even includes the "cup holders" on the sides and the bar style kick bar at the bottom front!
The only big question is how tall is it and if it's 4' tall it needs a GI Joel inline riser and extended artwork and move the kick bar to the bottom of said riser!
I kinda wish this wasn't a custom and was an actual product that one could buy and just assemble..
I don't like the "Live" icons on these control panels but unlike my other cabinets I can't just easily black out the one on my SFII Dynamo HS-5 machine because of the TV snow pattern.. However, I realized that my partner sent me a pack of kitty stickers so... 😺👍🏻🕹️💜
Added new black joystick shaft and dust covers to these joysticks today and I think they look better than just the bare metal showing! 🕹️😁👍🏻
Also the dust covers have a texture the stock ones didn't have..
I added the bubble top joysticks to my Mortal Kombat arcade machine today, and while they aren't the exact shade of red I was expecting them to be, they still look nice. In normal lighting conditions, they appear somewhat orange in color. 💜🕹️
This Castevania arcade cabinet is GORGEOUS.... pricey, but GORGEOUS!
