Megatouch to Videobox conversion.

[Dj4nrv]

Hi all , i got meself one of the megatouch upright cabinets, not sure if anyones familiar with the megatouch SWP's? but being an swp game machine they come with touch screen coin mech etc and they do bartop and upright versions too.

I have the upright cabinet , so im goin to convert it to a videobox juke.

Just wondering if converted one before??

Im going to do a walkthrough of the build too, il add it here as i go.

Id quite like to see some pics of other jukes people on the forum have built too.

come on guys share your pics via the album section please.

I'm prety sure one of our members has done a megatouch conversion, I remember seeing some for sale on ebay loaded up with JBP but I cant remember the guys name at moment, do a search on ebay you might be able to see it.

Ps:

Thats great news that you are going to documet your build on the forum, I cant wait to see  
I think a lot of people will benefit from this because those megatouch cabinets are very afordable & available now.

And yeah, come on all you other guys, get your pictures on the forum!

Hi steve yeah iv seen the guy on ebay. 
Thats kinda how i got the idea. I myself have some megatouch cabinets and was thinking of doing something similar.
A few of which are on ebay at the moment.
I just think we should have more pictures and builds on the site.
Not enough people post their pics n jukes!!!!
Hopefully il get round to the cctalk diagrams too .
I havent forgotten.

A lil update.

Right, had a good look at the upright cab today.
This later model megatouch really is goin to be an easy conversion.
It has lcd touch screen in place. It has a 330 coin mech.which i believe must be the next up from what jukejohns been using, and after reading the trouble hes had im goin to swap it out for an sr3. The coin mech bezels look a similar size so shouldnt be to much of a problem.
It has coin shutes, cash box and switches already in place.
2x arcade speakers mounted halfway up the centre of the cab. Im going to swap these out for some old speakers iv got in the shed, tannoy 602s i think.
Then theres a big void at the bottom for an amp.
I thought drinks holders or tray would be a needed addition . So ive got some from old p2 cabinet. should be good. Although not yet sure how to fix them in place without seeing the brackets. Again, il figure something out.
Iv seen these arcade spinners on ebay too, i like the idea of having a volume knob accessible somewhere just not sure where yet??
Next il have some pics of the parts i have and hopefully the cabinet.
The cabinet itself though cud b a few weeks yet
Until then though il be gettin on with my bartop juke.
Check the pics in my gallery for that.
Il add the updated pics this week.
Nearly there....

Dude, you crack me up, lol, i didnt put the vid on to torment you, (although I find it funny now you mention it) 
I told you before It's all down to reading the spec's before you dive in, if you take 2 mins to google sr3 & sr5 you would know the difrence  .

You told me before that you understand electronics, so, read the Kim datasheet, it takes 10 mins to read it all (It took me and Bry 2 months to write it), get a cuppa turn the TV off and give it a read.

Then read the ccTalk section of the sr5 datasheet (you dont have to read it all). 

Then you will be informed and awesom, you will understand all things that are coin mech.

[jukejohn]

ok easy for you to say 

ill read it over and over again ill google the mechs but the problem is im just so
dam unlucky dude this is the second sr5 other one was faulty got this one working
with cctalk but seems it doesnt send a signal out for £1 coins works fine with 50p
and £2 just my luck
