Forgive me if you've seen this before, but this guy put a pi in a beautiful vintage portable TV with bluetooth-enabled controllers.

You really can't tell that the screen is curved as small as it is. I will leave the LCD tilted back like the CRT. I'll have batteries in it, but it will probably be plugged in most of the time.

I picked up an old cocktail arcade console. It'll need some work on the exterior and a different button configuration. I'm open to all suggestions.

as i'm going to be using a blank tin (either plain or windowed) and want to customise it, i've started to lay a few ideas down.... may just print out a label and stick to the top (still not decided).... a little something that pays homage to the altoids tin (still a work in progress, some colour to...
