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 [...]
New Game Added, Another Coming
Well, it’s been a hectic month. When I last posted, I promised pictures of my newly acquired Golden Tee cabinet with 25″ monitor. Those pictures haven’t been taken yet. I’ve started removing the parts from my All American Football cabinet to put in the new cabinet and am slowly returning the All American Football to [...]
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.

Golden Tee: Control Panel Progess

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):
