After a long hiatus due to major house renovations, the house is returning to normality and my Vectrex-related hobbies can resume. Progress was made this weekend in clearing out a room to house the VecCab.

Readers who joined me from the beginning of this blog will recall that this cabinet is based on a JAMMA arcade cabinet, and what I did was to get the width of the cabinet reduced, so the small screen of the Vectrex wouldn't look so odd. The sizing works! Sure the Vectrex screen is smaller than a standard arcade cabinet, but the size is more in keeping with what represents a Cabaret cabinet style.
For those interested, here is what the side profile looks like:
I still have many things to work on this project. But it works, and with the VecFever plugged in it's easy to get distracted by playing Vector games rather than making further improvements.
