With all that you want to do, I think you will have to use plastic and that foil coating that so many toys use. I can't imagine the ones in the movie were authentic ones either.

If you use the same photo viewer I did, I can post fitment pics to help you reduce the need to manipulate the electronics so much (I trashed one viewer during the prototyping phase.).

I spent a long time trying to find a video player that would work, but (justifiably) there aren't any in a 1 or 1.1 inch size that can fit in the cabinet. If anybody finds a likely prospect, along those lines, I'd love to know so I can stuff one and just run video of the actual idle routine and have sound, too. That would be the ultimate.

ETA: Steve... If you haven't gone by the arcade yet. Don't worry about it. I was able to get grabs from that YT video. I will need to grab a new set while I learn how to do it. The samples I loaded really bring the cabinet to life, though. If you did do it, already, It'll still help me to make sure the order of scenes is correct.

There are players of that approx. dimensions but you will need time and money.

Aside from the lady gaga shades panasonic is rolling out there are "sports video trading cards" as well.

I know the ideal originally was to have the balls made out of metal, which is way more expensive than creating it in plastic and getting it plated/chromed, but this place takes a lot of the cost out of getting CNC work done by having you create the model yourself.

You could also do the polycarbonite center so that it would be fully transparent.

I can do all sorts with video. A can also export flash into various formats. What do you need for your mini Cabinet? A series of stills? let me know.

Don't forget I made a paper cabinet for download and build. It should accommodate your Screen size if not a mobile phone would be snug too.
