Artifact tribute - upright conversion

1 Cab all cleaned up, Shocking how much crap gets inside these things
Found a one pound coin ;)
A set of keys
and lots of coin sized washers!
Stripped out all the jamma wiring, lubricated locks and catches
And am now stripping the final piece - the control panel
Got the IL/cherry buttons out fine
But im having problems getting the top plexi off, its secured with these:
What are the drivers called for these screws?
Unrelated:
With the control panel removed - you can the runners on the inside of the cab that the board slides into
2nd pic, control panel inserted - Why on earth would this panel have to be so deep? The CP is held in place with the latches towards the front of the cab, I dont understand the design of this, can anyone shed any light on it for me?
Thanks

Thanks, lots of variations on this cab ;)
Did a little work today, cleaned up the marquee holders and kickplates
That drill attachment makes short work of the rust, came up like new!
Ill try and get them primed later on
EDIT: No priming done today, damn weather!
So, I did a dry fit instead - everything works ;) (the monitor is a temp 17", im picking up a 19" tomorrow, getting a 24" tv on friday and a 22" monitor on sunday - one of them will be perfect!)
Just found this one on ebay, really like the art and colour scheme - the brass kick plate is a nice touch although the black t moulding doesnt seem to accent the cabs design, something lighter would work better I think
the price is a little scary!

I might try for a theme like that ;)

Had a chance to work on the cab
Decased and mounted Dell 19" VGA crt, looks great, screen feels huge this close to it - will take a bit of getting used to!
Screen rotates great
Installed prototype control panel (will be 2 player in final), having a couple of issues with the awkward angles of the cuts where the panel meets the glass, and where the panel meets the front panel - I think I've sussed it out, Ill try modding it tomorrow.
Also need to get flush mounts for the ls-32's
Flip The Switch:
Looks great dude, 19 inch screens fit really well in these smaller cabs.
Is that silver T molding or is it some type of metal strip?
