| Which hinges for CP top? |

I am at a crossroads here. I have purchased a piano hinge to use for my control panel top but I am second guessing myself. I don't think this will give me the most elegant solution. What has everyone else used? How do you keep the top closed during agressive play? Does your panel open towards the front or back? |

Piano hinge should work fine. I've never had a control panel accidently open. You could always add a latch of some kind if it is an issue. |

Stainless steel piano hinge, cut to length! http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff97/infernolab/Arcade%20Game/16keyboardbracket.jpg In the time since this pic was taken, I spray-painted the hinge red & I removed that awkward keyboard cradle. Thanks, -Jason |

Here's your huckleberry: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,117977.msg1265003.html#msg1265003 No offense to anyone, but there is no reason why you would need an exposed hinge on a CP, unless it's some funky weird shape. All the time and $$ invested into these things and then I see some routed out notch on a CP box with a hinge in there. AJ |
