Golden Tee Conversion

I had a bit of free time over the weekend so I decided to apply my custom made control panel overlay to the “new” Golden Tee control panel. As with all good plans, I quickly ran into a few problems. More >

As promised, I have a bunch of new pictures today of my Golden Tee cabinet that I picked up over a month ago and of the Centipede cabinet that I picked up last week. First up, the Golden Tee cabinet. For anyone interested in the story behind this cabinet, check out my last post on this topic, A New Addition, A Project Revisited.  Once you see the pictures, I think you’ll agree that for $20, with a working 25″ monitor, this was definitely a great deal.  More >

I’ve made a great deal of progress on the Golden Tee control panel.  I had a spare piece of 3/4″ plywood that appeared to be about the right size for fashioning a control panel base.  I took the control panel overlay that I purchased, placed it on top of the plywood and traced the outside edges, button holes and trackball opening.  I cut the straight areas of the control panel base with a circular saw and the rounded corners with a jig saw.  The button holes were cut with a 1 1/8″ hole saw.  Plywood was not necessarily my material of choice but it was available and saved me a trip to the home improvement store.
