Cocktail Arcade Cabinet

Original post is on the french forum insert coins

I finally sold it in 2021. No new arcade project for now, but I'd like to work on a two players mini-Karateco or alike one day.

Initial setup

It's a generic Arkanoid-style Jeutel cocktail cabinet.

Overall, the wood veneer isn't too damaged.

Front view:

On the left, a lock is missing.
On the right, you can see the coin slots: the first for 5-franc coins, the second, I think, for 2-franc coins (a 1-euro coin doesn't fit easily...).
On the far right, a "credit +5" button replaces the lock on the right.

I opened the player 1 control panel; the slatted buttons are all wired to the same two wires (that's a lot of buttons just for Arkanoid), and the spinner is loose. This plate will be replaced for a layout with a joystick + spinner + 3 buttons.

Inside, we have a dusty PCB and everything that goes with the screen (the screen is marked: I can see the game over and the Arkanoid title once it's turned off).

Power supply + switching + screen settings and a Jamma -> Jeutel connector

The coin selectors seen from the inside

The top panel is already cut out for horizontal positioning of the screen as an option.
