If you REALLY want to give it that 70's look, you need avocado green and burnt orange. >:D :laugh2:

A lot better
Changing the orange to another colour would be alot of work. I would have to redo every ai file. And I feel that the orange works for it. Complements the wood well.
I'm glad people are liking the front end/bezel co-ordination. I think it looks neat but it will be difficult to do a rotating monitor setup with it. I know I don't really need a rotating monitor but I do like my shooters and it would be nice to have.

That right there is freakin sexy.
If that were my cab, I'd be like "that's the look, no changes"

A quick question for the more experienced builders. I've been thinking of my buttons and was contemplating using GGG's Electric Ice buttons. I would keep them unlit until a game is selected and the active buttons would light up. Does anyone know how these buttons actually look when unlit? Do they look translucent or do they pass as opaque?

Groovy Game Gear
Electric Ice 2 Pushbutton
This is a concave pushbutton with a custom printed circuit board with an LED and resistors. This is also a custom pushbutton with an added switch mount that is capable of not only regular micro-switches but leaf and micro-leaf switches. The circuit board has a small ribbon cable for connection to a controller. Extra attention may be needed in smaller panels to account for the leaf attachment arm.
Assembly was straightforward and only took about a minute. Its a simple twist on mount for the switch.

I have the electric ice buttons and I like them a lot.
When not lit, they are opaque. Kind of a creamy white.
When I built my machine, I was going for kind of a blacked out with white trim look and these buttons totally fit the bill.
