Complete redesign due to TV failure
crashwg:
Here's a shot of the two sides held together with a test CP and the chamfer around the monitor. I'm thinking about moving the controls in away from the sides a little bit to make a little more room for the hands but I think it may look a little funny... IDK, I'll probably try it, it's not like I can't whip up another fairly quickly.

I would consider that if this weren't a thrifty build. I'm still trying to work out how to get sideart on the cheap...

and the VHS?http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/FunTV-Portable-VHS-Player-with-4-inch-LCD-Monitor-Refurbished/583441/product.html thankfully the screen is a separate part of the unit. With A/V Jacks!
Love the cabinet shape!

Two questions:
1. What are the controls on the 8-in-1? The one I have has a power switch, a reset switch and a single button. I can't tell from the pictures or descriptions if it has some sort of reset or menu button.
2. Does it save scores? I got one of the Ms. Pac/Galaga/Pole Position/ etc. ones that apparently was released by QVC that saves scores and I like the feature I just don't know how nor want to put in the effort of hooking up the steering for Pole Position...

After I've done one side will the bearing have a large enough place to ride?

Should have the original height in the center if you adjust your roundover bit right. You may need to try on a few scraps to get the hang of it. You can use a smaller radius and just touch it to each side until it looks good to you. You don't need to get a bit with half the radius unless you want to rout a true half circle as your edge. Actually a smaller bit is probably easier to work with as you just touch each edge and it leaves the center of the mdf.
