Just to give you a few images to illustrate this shelf concept. Here is my last arcade I made, in it's original shape: Then here it is after I cut a shelf for my control box to rest on: That's another thing you may find helpful, to browse around the site (project announcements is a good place to look) to see what other people have done. Here is a link to my build log as well: http://www.markronsman.com/arcade2.htm |

You don't even have to cut a shelf, just cut out a new top piece and drill the holes and transplant the x-arcade. I like the x-arcade a lot, I just don't think it looks right as a CP, it always sticks out like a sore thumb |

They work great for some people but there a quite a few haters due to the look. Here is a pic of a cab with an x arcade cp. Now if you could cover up the big X it might look ok. Link to Cab Build |

For me "X" always marked where to dig. I always want to thrust a spade shovel into those panels. Or at least swap the noisy micro switches out for Happ Cherry switches :) |

If you are ok with the original sized control panel, you could definitely just make the top CP board and put it in there. I however wanted more room, so that's why I did what I did. And it sort of sounds like he may not want to transplant the innards. I personally would definitely transplant them too, if it were me. There's really no way to escape all woodworking, and making a CP is mostly just getting the right sized wood and drilling holes. But if you still don't want to do that, the shelf idea is one fairly easy way of attaching it. |
