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.

Some Work, Finally!
Earlier this week I finally moved the “new” Golden Tee cabinet that I picked up last spring into the basement for some work. After the Cardinals loss, er… gift, to the Dodgers last night, I needed something to do so I decided to finally start working on this cabinet.
Golden Tee – The New Cabinet
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 [...]
A New Addition, A Project Revisited
Regular readers of this blog will recall a project I started several months ago. Being unhappy with the gameplay of Leland’s All American Football, I decided to strip the cabinet and convert it to a Golden Tee machine. I had the opportunity a few weeks ago to pick up another cabinet which have altered my [...]
Golden Tee: Control Panel Progess
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 [...]
Vertically Challenged
This biggest challenge in the conversion of the All American Football to Golden Tee has been the monitor orientation. All American Football made use of a vertically mounted monitor while Golden Tee requires a horizontally mounted monitor. My initial thought was to simply rotate the entire monitor, including the frame, in the cabinet [...]
Golden Tee: Progress So Far
Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures for today’s post, but I’ll provide a brief update on the status of the All American Football to Golden Tee conversion. I’ve created a “mock” control panel to test the fit on the cabinet and have temporarily wired the trackball and buttons to the jamma harness. While [...]
Golden Tee: Wiring Started
I had a chance over the long weekend to get a bit of work done on the Golden Tee conversion. Unfortunately, not as much work as I would have preferred due to some family commitments. Regardless, I’m happy with the progress I made although I did have a few stumbling blocks along the way. I’ll [...]
Golden Tee: The Parts
All of the parts for my Golden Tee conversion, or at least all of the parts I could think of, have finally arrived. As promised a few days ago, here are a few photographs to help you visualize what’s involved (click on the pictures for a larger view):
It’s Been A Good Week
The parts necessary to convert my All American Football cabinet into a Golden Tee are slowly beginning to show up on my doorstep. Last Thursday I received my Golden Tee 2002 board set, along with the hard drive and necessary cabling. Over the weekend I located an old 200 watt computer power supply [...]
