Dust washers, on top or underneath the control panel?
<< < (4/8) > >>
brad808:
My MKII machine has wood covered by metal cp and there is round spots routed on top of the wood (underneath the metal) for the dust washers to sit.

....but I took them out and installed them on top, just because I'm 90's like that ;D

Nothing passes those 1 second loading times faster then spinning around a dust washer!
boardjunkie:
Heh....ok ;)

And if you do it just right it sound just like  Tempest spinner with dry bushings. BRRRrrrrrr.....

No, that's not my panel, I have EGRET IIs, not EGRET 3. Also, I'm from Sweden, not from Germany.  :cheers: I don't think you can get clear washers from Akihabarashop though, but if you're in the US you can get them from http://www.tek-innovations.com/arthobbies/?loc=products&cat=7 The ones in the picture I posted are from arcadeshop.de

Good, I'm not alone in doing that.  :laugh:

I hear ya on the spinning.  I did it years ago, but not so much lately.  But...I had a proud daddy moment just last week when I saw my 6 year old son spin the washer all on his own and I know he didn't learn it from me.  I think he was playing Mega Man or Bubble Bobble...

I also agree with many of Xiaou2's comments for the above CP.  I will also add that I have no problems with them above the CP and actually find them to still have a 'clean look'.  They're round, symmetrical and you can get them in a color to match your CP.  If they don't physically get in your way during game play, I can almost guarantee that you won't be looking at them while you're playing.

Xiaou2:
Thanks, but mostly those comments are based on my distant past experience of being a manager at a mall arcade for a few years.

Have it Both ways...

 In the future, on my Own panel, I might go with an Opaque dust washer Under the plexi, and a Clear dust washer on the top.

 Thereby not covering the artwork, and yet not allowing people to see the unsightly hole + joystick base.
