I am talking about the plexi glass you have covering your control panel. From the pictures it looks like (starting from left to right) that player 1 is 1 piece of plexi...players 2/3 are a 2nd piece of plexi and player 4 is a 3rd piece of plexi.
What I am saying is why not have one piece of plexi that covers all the the players...that will eliminate the gap you have between each piece of plexi and create a full piece with no gaps.
Tape the inside of the button holes and cover the edges around with flush T molding...that will be a pretty good seal.
EDIT: The center panel rotates...ah gotcha...nm then :)

Congrats on resuming your project!
One question though: How big is your cabinet?
It looks HUGE!!! Will your garage, or basement, be the final location for your cab?

It is pretty giant. I designed it to have a 1/2" clearance through a standard exterior door with the wing control panels removed. I wanted the largest CRT possible which ended up being a 27" tube. The width is approximately 32.5". Eventually it will end up in a basement/entertainment room.... I hope. (Wife approval pending) ;D

It was emotional.
I began removing wires:
Then I made the hard decision to cut em... ALL. I knew that the wiring was crap so I forced the issue and cut them all so I could run Ribbon to the panels and mount the I/O controllers in the panel instead of having a million wires running to the back of the cab:
I was left with pieces:
and a husk:
I plan on sending the artwork to Mame Marquees this weekend. No more bond crap freebies from work. ;)

So, does that control panel rotate? Or does it just flip down for access?
The giant rotating monitor is slick, in any case!
