Hey all! Here's some pics on my 2nd cabinet. My first was an aliens cab I converted, but I wanted to make one with 4 players and support for my WG9200- could someone please post the W x H dimensions for the 27" Happ monitor bezel please? ;) When I get the control panel done (hopefully this weekend), I'll post it as I think you'll like it with the image I've had made earlier. I'll be looking for black or a dark shade of it for the laminate shortly also. The design is Lusids except I banked the arcade cabinet sides- not the control panel to ensure enough space for wires/controls etc... Cheers! |

Darn, I went to order the T-molding yesterday through T-molding.com and they don't sell 5/8" in grey. I was hoping to go black laminate and grey T-molding, but now I've ordered black t-molding, so I may be looking for something different than black? I do like the idea of a dark cabinet (vs yellow or red etc...) Suggestion guys/gals? ;) |

very cool cab dude. have you put 4 people around the cp and tried it out for room? my next cab will be a 4 player one, but im worried about elbow room and the players on the edge being able to see the screen. your thoughts? |

Wow, you could double that control panel as a small boat :) |

Thanks! ;D I've adjusted the layout by moving around the playing stations a bit to optimize it, but it's hard to tell until it's probably too late unless I build a test panel. I'm going with the standard from left to right...player 3, player 1, 3' trackball, player 2, player 4. Above those, spinner and 4-way(not sure what 4-way to go with??). Of course, the coin/start buttons for each station and 4-5 black or white administrative buttons(what do I really need? Keep in mind I'll be using Mamwah). I believe the trackball takes care of players 1 and 2 spacing. The angle of players 3 and 4 should take care of them! Players 3 and 4 have 4 buttons a piece ...not the 7 like players 1 and 2 I had the "wifey" position herself around the panel with me next to her and it seemed good. The panel is very large Sirpoonga! ;) I think the pics make it seem really overwhelming, but in-person it actually looks really good. I hit the cp angle and standing height perfect! Now I just need my bud to come by and get my 2 player mame cab outta my house! I'll post some pics of the lamination job in a few days too. |
