Here we GO
« on: June 20, 2013, 10:06:07 am »
First i am still undecided if coming across this site is a blessing or a curse.   ???  I had always wanted some arcade games and now that i have a few,  i want some even more.  The amount of information on this site is incredible.  I have so many ideas and plans now, i think my wife may replace me lol. 
The two main cabs i am working on right now are a single player cab and a dedicated MK Trilogy cab.  I know a some of you have some mk3 or umk3 machines.  I can not find the specifics for the control panel anywhere i look.  So, can someone let me know or point me to where i can find the original button layout.  I know basicly how it is supposed to be.  I need to know how far apart the buttons are and distance to the joystick.  Oh yeah, how far away is that run button.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks guys for all the info i have learned already and all that i still will.

Yep, it's a life stealer - on the plus side, once you've built your cabinet it'll be a couple of years at least before you notice the wifes gone :-)

I've not even made a single cut on mine yet, but already I'm planning a cocktail/pinball table, bartop style one for console games, sitdown driving/flight cabinet and a TV/multimedia cabinet. The thing is, until I take the plunge and do that first cut I don't even know if I can but I know I WANT all this already!
