Step 11: Finishing Details

Now it is time to tie up all the loose ends and put everything together.  First I had to make a couple little brackets to hold the marquee in place.  Then I installed the non-slip rubber feet.  I used the roller latches to hold the "lid" in, that way all you have to do to open it up is slide the marquee up and pop the top upwards. This is handy to turn off the marquee light, adjust volume, or diagnose any strange burning smells =P

As you can see, all the extra wiring fits nicely into the controller box.  There is still enough room to put my hand inside and use the left latch.  The right latch can be accessed through the cartridge slot hole.  Once everything was plugged in, I pulled out my PowerPak and gave it a try.  Works like a charm!

There you go, she is pretty much finished.  The next step will explain what the future plans are.
