Midway Cocktail Control Panel

I think personally you want as much space between the joystick and buttons for a small CP like that. If you want to keep all of the buttons on the top of the CP I would suggest moving the coin/credit/esc buttons in the middle, something like:



If it was me though I would remove the coin/credit/esc buttons from the CP top completely and move them to the vertical face of the CP. You would be then left with more room on the CP top and I would do a layout like this:



I'm not sure if Arcade Depot give you the option to put holes in the front face. If they don't you could always put them in yourself or failing that I wouldn't mind doing them for you (I'm in the UK too  :cheers:)

If you do put them in the front just make sure they don't foul on the other buttons. I would use Japanese buttons which are much shorter and definitely wouldn't foul but you may have an issue with 'Happ' style buttons.

Yeah I like that Idea will give it a try. Any ideas what I can do for a Taito Cocktail Cabinet it does not have a aluminium control panel like my Space Invaders one does. I thought about plexi but wasnt sure if I could cut the holes for buttons etc. I then thought about so thin wood painting it black and getting something printed?

What does your Taito cocktail have in the way of a control panel at the moment?

Acrylic (plexi) is easy to cut with the right tools and techniques.
