This one is the one I purchased along with the overlay.

gShooter,
Have you tried your new CP on the Galaxian cab? I am very curious to know if it fits, if it does I may order one myself!
gShooter:
It fits fine. I'll post some pics tomorrow.
- Finished almost all of the white and black painting today. Just have the shelves left. Gotta work the powered speakers (X-140s) in the shelf tomorrow. If all goes well, might even get to play a few games.
- swapped out the screws for carriage bolts on the trackball (carriage bolts from Crow River)
- swapped out the pushbuttons for convex pushbuttons
Crayola:
I tried an original Galaga control panel on the Galaxian cab.. didnt fit.
Never tried the multicade ones arcade shop sells. They might fit.. dont know

Got a fair amount done today....not as much as I wanted, but a solid amount.
Here are the pics I promised:
Speaker Installation
* The speaker install went fairly smooth. For the future, or next build, I will buy a hole saw. The Porter Cable jigsaw I have will be going back for the Dewalt I should have purchased.
Control Panel Dry Fit
* The control panel is pretty simple. There is a small 1/8-1/4 inch gap along the edge of the panel. I think that a small strip of auto door edge molding will make it snug.
