Actually, I have all the arcade platform games that I play, and will just swap control panels on either of the two Williams cabinets (which are set up to cover vertical and horizontal games) I have depending on what game I want. (I don't believe in cluttered control panels).

Glad you've got it all figured out. ;)

I developed what I call the "Quick-Swap" control panel system, so I can just swing the CP down, and swap the CP top for another before pushing it closed. There are no connectors to push together or pull apart because the Phosphor-Bronze spring backed contacts, which come together, involve zero-insertion-force.
So a swap takes about 5 seconds.

Can someone host the sketcher drawings for that last CP design? I'd like to get something that works for every game, and I think you've nailed it!
