Operation Thunderbolt

In late 2005, happy with the Xevious cabinet I put together for him, my buddy Rick asked me to work on another cabinet. This time, it was a shooting cabinet.

We ended up going with an Operation Thunderbolt cabinet. The cabinet was in pretty good shape, and still had the two uzi-style guns intact but was otherwise empty. I installed a brand new Wells-Gardner U3100 VGA monitor, a few extra buttons, and an Ultimarc A-PAC (to control the guns, which are basically big analog joysticks), and it was good to go.

Here's some pictures of the completed project:
