As for slotting the bottom to allow the monitor to drop through, you can and we did back in the early days. However you cannot then of course tilt the head down for transport like a real pin. Plus anything larger widescreen wise over 16" is wasted real estate and cost. 16" is spot on for the std width of a DMD. Height wise I can tell you from plenty of experience a 29" led and and Hanns g 16" screen takes up all the vertical space you have.

Good info to know, thank you!

That's true. And thank you, I did not consider the factory decals in my plan, but I'm really happy that I was able to stick with 'common' industry standard dimensions.

I appreciate that, thank you!
I can't wait to see the cut items arrive, as I'm very interested to be able to offer them for sale. (As I've said before, I won't sell anything without making sure everything is 100%.) If I'm really lucky, my Wife will let me build up the pinball for 'promotional reasons'. I'm sure nothing sells a pincab more than having a fully operational one to show off.
;)
But of course, we'll see! (But certainly again - thank you so much for the offer!)

Oops, wrong key... see post below...
Sorry ::)

Hey Rick,
That's a tough one, I was thinking maybe the joystick on the left, 2 1/4" trackball in the middle and 2 buttons on the right, but maybe this would cram the control panel too much... I've checked other bartop projects and haven't seen one with this kind of layout, so maybe you're right I should ditch the trackball.
It's just that I wanted to make use of parts I already have stored and sleeping in my basement since the last 4 or 5 years; like a 60 in 1 board which is capable of playing Centipede or Millipede. If that does not work, to keep costs down, I could also maybe try to use my Raspberry Pi board. I only want it to play the 80's classics. Maybe someone else has an input in this matter, for now I really don't know. So don't waste time trying to do designs for me at this time, at worse I'd take a blank CP and drill it myself when I do decide finally on the layout.
Speaking of parts I already have, I have an original Mag-Stik (not the Plus one) and it seems I've lost both the toothed washer and the end nut, if I compare with the Mag-Stik Plus parts layout that is on the Ultimarc website (I did not find the original Mag-Stik parts layout there). I'll have to ask Andy what is the thread size of that end nut and exactly what the toothed washer looks like, so that I can try and get these in my local hardware store.
Thanks and cheers !!

That's certainly high praise! Thanks so much!
--- Quote from: Mamezilla on September 07, 2013, 11:02:58 am ---I like the little details like the speaker hole on the front of the control panel on the Contender.
--- End quote ---
That one is causing me a bit of a headache. There is a good possibility I might make some quick modifications to the design a bit. Right now, the speaker hole looks good but it's functionality is hampered slightly by the fact that there is a 5/16" piece mounted directly behind it... If I make changes, I would have to increase the height of the front panel, and I don't know if that is going to make it look odd, or not...
A-HA! (Sorry - thinking out loud here.) I think I just figured it out. I can route out a channel in the piece immediately behind it, to help to accommodate the speaker hole. It will definitely help the whole aesthetic, I'm sure. (Although, I might be overthinking it all - since if you look inside a speaker hole, you really shouldn't see beyond ... the speaker itself! LOL.)
--- Quote from: Mamezilla on September 07, 2013, 11:02:58 am ---My favorite one is the Titan. Since I'm more a "classics" player, I would only put one joystick (I have a Mag-Stik sleeping somewhere in my basement), 2 buttons and if possible a 2 1/4" trackball (for Centipede and such), if possible.
--- End quote ---
I can certainly accommodate whatever you'd like. What were you thinking for the orientation of the joystick/buttons and the trackball? There are a couple of things to consider - such as, having the trackball on the left, joystick almost centered, and the two buttons to the right... Or the joystick on the left, trackball in the center, and two buttons on the right.
(If it was me, I would probably shy away from the trackball, personally. I do have plans for a trackball based bartop, but it will likely be 'trackball only' with a couple of buttons on either side, with no joystick to be found.)
Let me know what you think, and I'll put together a number of different designs for you.

Oh look, another one!
THE CUBIC - Like a Volvo, they're boxy, but they're good. You'd have to be crazy people not to like this design.
:D
TKW4rr10r:
So when are you posting details on pricing/shipping? You get any cut yet?
We need some real-life shots, man! :drool
