This is my big Arcadeproject.
An CBS Colecovision in a rebuild Arcade Cabinet.
This is not an Emulator, but the real stuff.
The project was made in a allotment.


 

   I buy this old Cabinet from a dealer called OK Automater here in Denmark

   In the cabinet was there a Neo Geo PCB with Samurai Shodown III.

   It was taken out before i buy it.

   The Intervideo monitor from Italy was broken, and also the mainboard to.

   Compugame in Denmark made this cabinet way back in the 80's.

   The modelname for the cabinet is: Luxus II.

When Clicking On A Picture below you will see the pictures in HD 1920 x 1080 For 16:9.

   Here can you see the Compugame "controlpanel".

   You can see there are two Joysticks, 9 pushbuttons and 2 player buttons.

   And these are all working.

   
   So i started to disconnect the pushbuttons and the two joysticks.

   The top-marquee and the big door in the front.

   This is a work that took a lot of time.

   
   Then the broken Intervideo monitor from Italy, and the mainboard too.
   
   Here can you see a almost empty cabinet, it need to be cleaned up.

   You can see a Samsung Tv. in lthe eft side, this is the one to be insert as the new Monitor.

   
   Here are the Samsung removed from its own cabinet and mounted in the cabinet from CompuGame.

   You can accurate see the Samsung mainboard.

   
   As you can see, here are some new pushbuttons i ordered from Arcadeshop in Germany.

   The two white buttons are "Player 1" and "Player 2".

   The red ones are for "Jump/Bomb", and the green for "Fire".

   The Blue one is for "#" and the Gray for "*", the Microswitches is spare parts.

   
   Here are the Top-marquee "CG Video" (CompuGame) mounted back to its place again.

   The Samsung mainboard is mounted, and the "Smoke" frontglass are on its place again.

   The speaker are connected too.

   
   The ColecoVision has taken place in the mid-lower cabinet.

   I try it with a original joystick, to play Donkey Kong, and it's working normally.

   
   Here are two shelves for all my cartridges, and in the lower room in the cabinet there are also a place for the
   Steering wheel and the Roller-Controller.
   
  A lot of wires for the controlpanel, and player 1 and 2.  
   
   Oh my god...

   All the wires back, are for the two Coleco Controllers.
   Some games can't be used when i do it on this way, (Turbo - Slither).
   But in 2009 i will update with the Steering-Wheel and the Roller-Controller.
   
   In this picture can you see where some of the wires are soldering.
   10 wires, 5 for directions and 3 for Fire and Jump, and 2 for Player mode.
   That is for 1 Controller.
   It will be re wired again in the future.
   
  Here are a picture with some of the buttons, and the two joysticks in the closed edition.
   
   Player 1 and Player 2 works fine.
   A test of Konami -Roc'n Rope in a 2 player mode.
   
  As you can see in this test of SEGA -Carnival runs fine with the Samsung Tv.
   
   The beginning of my new marquee, a version of the european logo.
   The right side of the picture is from the benheck site on the internet.
   The CBS logo do i have to made up at my self.
   Theese two logo's are first printed on two A4 transparent films.
   Back-light will then pass through the colourful logo.
   
   Here is a piece of 3 mm. acrylplate and some black foil.
   The black foil shall surround the two logo's.
   I'll cut the logo out, after i have mounted the black foil.
   On last, i will mount the glassplate.
 

More to come !
