Customisation Options

Every cabinet is hand-crafted in our Hertfordshire workshop using a 5-stage process perfected over 20 years. Here's what makes our UK manufacturing different from imported arcade machines you'll find elsewhere.
We cut 18mm British plywood to precise specifications using CNC routing. Each panel is reinforced at stress points — something you won't find in imported MDF cabinets that flex under use. Our corner joints use both adhesive bonding and mechanical fasteners for maximum durability. The difference is immediately noticeable: our cabinets feel solid and rigid, while imported machines often have a hollow, lightweight feel.
Genuine Sanwa JLF joysticks and OBSF buttons or Happ Suzo joysticks and buttons are installed with custom mounting plates we fabricate in-house. We wire directly to fully programmable PCBs or bi-wire to Brook fighting boards, not the generic Chinese boards found in most imported machines. Each connection is hand-soldered and tested individually — no quick-connect terminals that loosen over time.
Each LED display is calibrated for arcade gaming with reduced input lag. We custom-build the monitor mounting frame for your specific configuration, ensuring perfect alignment and zero screen flex. PC components are selected for fanless operation and longevity — we use commercial-grade power supplies rated for 100,000+ hours, not consumer parts that fail after 2-3 years.
Custom vinyl artwork imported from Italy is applied using professional-grade materials that won't fade or peel. We wrap edges properly and use a heat gun to ensure perfect adhesion — a step many importers skip, leading to peeling corners within months. Paint finishes receive 3 coats with proper cure time between layers.
Every machine runs a 48-hour burn-in test playing classic games. We check for screen alignment, button responsiveness, joystick dead zones, and audio quality. Only after passing our quality checklist does a cabinet receive CE certification and get approved for delivery. This testing phase is why we can offer a 12-month warranty — we know exactly what's leaving our workshop.
The result? Arcade machines built to the same standards as the originals from the 1980s-90s, not the cost-cutting approach you'll find with imported cabinets. Visit our showroom to feel the difference yourself.

Space Planning
Before selecting a cabinet style, measure your available area carefully. Stand-up cabinets require floor space ranging from 56cm width for compact models up to 112cm for 4-player configurations. Allow additional clearance around the machine - at least 50cm in front for comfortable play and access to coin doors or maintenance panels.
Tabletop cabinets offer flexibility since they can be placed on existing furniture. Most measure 90-108cm wide and 67-69cm tall, requiring a stable surface that can support 65-90kg. These work well in rooms where a full stand-up cabinet wouldn't fit.
Cocktail tables integrate into living spaces as functional furniture, typically measuring 90-108cm wide and only 45-69cm tall. Consider placement where players can comfortably sit on opposite sides if you choose a two-sided design.
Game Library Selection
Think about which games you'll play most frequently. Fighting game enthusiasts often prefer ball-top Sanwa sticks and 6-button layouts per player. Classic arcade fans might want trackball support for games like Centipede and Golden Tee, or spinner controls for Tempest and Arkanoid.
Light gun games require specific hardware - we use Aimtrak systems which work with modern displays. If you're interested in games like Time Crisis, House of the Dead or Virtua Cop, consider a cabinet that supports dual light guns.
Media and Elite editions provide access to console games beyond arcade titles. If you want to play PlayStation fighting games, N64 titles or Dreamcast classics, these systems have the processing power for smooth emulation.
Customisation Options
Every cabinet can be personalised to reflect your preferences:
Finishes - Standard black satin finish included, or upgrade to any RAL colour or wood veneer
Graphics - Custom artwork for marquees, side panels and control panels
Controls - Choice of joystick types, button colours and layouts
Upgrades - Trackballs, spinners, light guns, upgraded sound systems
Features - Addressable RGB LED buttons with dynamic lighting effects
Budget Considerations
Our GT range offers exceptional value with machines starting at £995, featuring solid construction and reliable gaming performance. The Bespoke Arcades range represents our premium line with enhanced customisation options, larger screens and more sophisticated cabinet designs.
Consider optional extras in your budget - light guns add £200-300, trackballs typically £150-200, and upgraded finishes vary depending on your choice. Two-man delivery service is available for an additional charge if you need the machine positioned upstairs or in a specific room.
