[QUOTE="AcadDude, post: 281196, member: 7404"] I have finally gotten all the shop work done and now can get the electronics wired up. Legs are bolted on. Coin door is bolted on also. I like the wood grain on the Oak lockdown plank. Sides show a little grain but mostly really dark. All the buttons for the cabinet are in. I need to get the buttons for the backglass cabinet ordered. I thought I had some but can't find them. I have a power supply to run the fans and lighting. I screwed blocking around it to hold it in. The fans run off the fan power plugs on the power supply (I think they are 5 volt?) and the lights run off 5 volt power also. 12 volt will melt the buttons I have with incandescent bulbs. I have 5 volt LED's that I like. They are warm white for the top buttons. Bright white are ok for the front and sides of the cabinet but too bright for the top buttons. I don't have the little white buttons lit up. I may look at backlighting them from underneath but the bulbs in them are way too bright for me. I got the plunger in and the VirtuaPin controller installed.
