Unboxed Samsung 46" LCD TV, 1920x1080.




Mockup of orientation - portrait TV, 29" LG chopped LCD marquee




Torn apart Altec 2.1 PC sound system - the amplifier was located in the right side satellite speaker. That won't do. It was glued shut, but that won't keep me out.




Altec amplifier board. Volume knob needs to be accessable...




Lathes are fun.




Custom aluminum volume knob extension is a tight fit to the plastic knob




New volume knob face




Fits together nice and tight; this was as far as I could press it while being sure I could get it out for finishing work, but in final assembly the plastic flange goes flush. Conveniently, preserves the original drive spline for the potentiometer.




When assembled through 3/4" plywood, leaves a nice looking knob showing.




Building a new housing for the amplifier board. The zip ties will become cable strain reliefs.




Amplifier board in new home.




Milled an aluminum structure to hold 3 USB extension cords, to be accessable front jacks on the machine.




The USB jacks will be somewhat recessed, when installed. Should look nice with only the face showing.




I plan to place two arcade buttons, one on either side - Exit Game and Pause Game respectively. This will be the complete admin panel layout.
