The mini Machine

A tiny one-player bartop arcade cabinet in black and red carbon fibre.

The mini Machine

The mini Machine is the small one: a one-player bartop arcade, stained black, with carbon-fibre vinyl on the screen surround and a red carbon control panel.

One stick and six buttons in red, yellow and blue, two buttons on the front and one on each side, with a red glow underneath.

It never came out quite the way I wanted, but it still went down well at the Cotswold Raspberry Jam.

Its bigger siblings are The Machine, a full-size upright, and the SPACEMACHINE bartop.
