Big update covering the last week's worth of work-
First off, I got a test print of the control panel overlay art-
Only took staples 7.5 hours to print the damn thing...
I will be using this to create a mockup using foam board to make sure the setup in comfortable one my joysticks come in.
On the pushbutton front Susan from
Paradise Arcade was nice enough to hook me up with replacement barrels for my translucent buttons, so now they all match! Also my navy blue pushbuttons came in from
Arcade Spare Parts and here is the result-
When reassembling I made sure to reuse the springs from the IL buttons because the ones in the navy blue buttons was much stiffer. For those of you wondering- The 8 buttons for each of the players will have the navy blue plungers, all the admin, coin and mouse buttons will have black plungers and the P1 and P2 start buttons will have white imprinted buttons.
I then went through all my buttons and did my best ChanceKJ impression and wired them all up with the RGB LEDs-
and here is the final result-
Slowly moving along!
