That is a great looking cabinet.

Just curious, are those controls comfortable being that far back? Have you done a mock up?

You might want to increase the space or rearrange the order so you don't accidently exit when you hit pause.

You shouldn't have any problem wiring the coin door switches in parallel with the coin buttons on the CP.

+1 on the mockup suggestion.

I had noticed they looked to close together, and was thinking along the same lines.  The buttons were in no particular order, so I appreciate your advice.  It's still just in Visio, so that's an easy fix.

I definitely will.  I meant to print it out at work today on a plotter, but go too busy and forgot.  Once I do that, I'll build a mock controller made out of cardboard.  I had the opportunity to do some testing while it was still 'Bottom of the Ninth', two players at a time was no problem.

I was modeling my CP after this:
.
I liked the semi-circle design giving enough room for a trackball.  The two joysticks and buttons will be in roughly the same place as there were for BOTN.

Thanks all for your comments, I really appreciate it.  :cheers:

Oh, and it's back in the 100's again this week.   Little to hot for working in the garage.  :(

Still working on the paint.  I decided to got with a sprayer and ended up with a slight disaster.  More on that in this post: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,123202.0.html

In the meantime, I'm working with Game On Graphix for my CP overlay.  Here's the first take:



I really like it but want to make some tweaks.
*remove the Spinner label
*maybe make the swirl around the trackball a little bigger
*maybe remove the "P1" and "P2" to the start and coin labels
*arrows around the trackball?


Feedback is appreciated.
