Star Wars Arcade1up sit in Cockpit.

[doppelganger]

Hi all, Since I was about 6 or 7, going into arcades on Holiday and searching for the 80's Star Wars Arcade Sit in Cockpit to Own my very own. Looking recently, these Atari cabinets go for around £15,000 so well out of my range. Arcade1up have recently re-released their Star Wars cabinet and I managed to snag one.

The problem is.... its not the Sit in Cockpit ive always wanted...... so.....

I decided to build one.

I am maiing a proper build video but here is a quick overview of my progress so far.

Here's a little video of the near complete cockpit.

I'm very happy with it.... And if I had a beer fridge at my Unit I may never go home.

Also... due to my advancing age i'm sure i'll be getting piles soon so I added some cushions. Something the Arcade version never had..... but are Most welcome now.
