I built this bartop arcade machine based off the old Tempest machine from the early 80's. It plays old spinner games. Most of the material I used was scrap: the wood was leftover from a poker table build, an old 4:3 LCD monitor, control interface came out of an old project, and an the guts are an old work desktop destined for the recycling. I left out some of the process - like a LOT of wiring, all the computer and front end setup, resizing the graphics, attaching the marquee graphics, front glass, etc.

The spinner is a Turbo Twist 2 from Groovy Game Gear.

The graphics were printed by Joe Szabo from Szabo's Arcades. Great service, I could not be happier with his work.
