Looking for black "Coin" or ".25" buttons
<< < (9/11) > >>
Ravenger:
I used Pongo's coin button labels on illuminated red buttons on my cab:



The photos don't do them justice, they glow a very bright red and the cut-out coin text really stands out, with a bright red ring around the button too.

The cab is a pre-built reproduction Jamma cab, but I've modified it to be a mame cab and replaced the joysticks and buttons with Magstik Pluses and gold leaf switch buttons, as well as wiring up some admin buttons and various other improvements inside. It uses my own custom Mala skin.

I also used Pongo's labels for the joystick dust washers and the admin buttons. They really finish off the machine nicely.

Here's a pic of the full machine:

Why six buttons each for a vertical cab?

Essentially the machine is a compromise because I don't have the room (or money!) for separate dedicated vertical and horizontal cabs. The cab came as vertical (it was pre-built) so I had to work with what I had. As it happens I like vertical games, so I'm not worried by the horizontal ones having a big border at the top and bottom, and the screen is big enough that the horizontal games look fine.

Six buttons per player gives me the best flexibility to play the widest possible range of games, including fighters, and using Mame button re-mapping it's possible to get pretty reasonable control approximations of classic games like Defender and Asteroids using that layout.

I also have a separate USB trackball that I can rest on the control panel to play Missile Command and Centipede, which also works nicely for spinner games like Tempest.
Ginsu Victim:
I understand. I run vertical games on my horizontal monitor.

I have white 25cent logos somewhere.  I need to look for them.  PM me and I'll check in the meantime.

As for the coin door idea:  I made a hybrid on one of my arcade machines which used GGG's coin door pushbuttons.  I had to mod the door by cutting a hole, but they came out better than I could hope for.

Note:  I created a graphic from scratch that made the 25¢ logo horizontal.
