Yeah I think these control panels are great. When you die they can double as a coffin... |

I've been browsing these arcade forums for what feels like close to 10 years now and I just never seem to have the time to pull the trigger on building one. I'm a huge fan of the "air craft carrier" design and totally support your decision to have built it. I grew up playing NBA Jam, The Simpsons, X-Men...all those 4 player cabs. Those are my fondest memories of playing as a kid, and while those control panels worked great when I was 10 years old, as an adult, I feel like I'd like something a little larger to play on with my kids and their cousins. Don't let these other guys tear you down. I've noticed over the years a lot of the same names love to visit these threads and shyt on anyone's design that doesn't meet their standards. They really have a lot wisdom on the topic, but their approach at criticism can at times be harsh. Anyways, great work on your cabinet and all the best to you!

Yeah.... these guys are a wealth of knowledge and I know they are trying to help but I just feel they hate to see anything non conforming with tradition. I understand this mindframe but also understand what drew me and many others in... and that was a non-traditional design. I dont think they realize non-traditional can still bring benefits to this community which I hope my previous message explains. |

So I just noticed all the craziness going on in Chances thread and understand now why Im catching all this flak. I just want to verify that I built my cab with rough dimensions and an outline of the control panel template where I moved things around and changed the angle of the control panel box and side panels to suit my needs. I have nothing to do with the plans or selling of plans and Im upset as well because ive sent people to Chance under good faith that he was giving them to people for free. Is it true he was charging for them? I just contacted a guy ive been helping on reddit who I sent to chance for plans a few weeks ago to see if he was charged. I would never sell someone elses designs and have no monetary motives here. I understand that if this is true that it is troubling but ive done nothing but try to help people with their builds and questions and I find it troubling if Im catching all the flak now just because this is the build design I chose to go with almost 6 years ago. Again.... Ive used this design side by side with my konami 4 player vendetta cab and found no difference in playing experience besides the crt being a crt in the konami cab obviously so it adds to the authentic experience but honestly the layout and feel of this layout is fine and I hate to think anything related to this design will be discouraged because someone was charging for the plans. I , nor this design were guilty of this and as always Ill help anyone with questions on their build where I can. |

Wow..... I feel like a useful idiot. For almost 6 years ive been sending people to chance for what I thought were free plans to guys looking to build one of these cabs. I have confirmed with someone ive been helping on reddit that he did charge him $60 for the plans. And from what ive been told its just the side panel and control panel templates which I could of shared with them myself for free. Ive sent dozens of people to him for plans and with all the traffic he must of got greedy and decided to monetize on it. I could see if it was his design from scratch and putting together all the templates and cad files and writing up a pdf guide and selling on ebay..... But not charging for a layout someone else designed and slapping a simple side panel dimension file with it and calling it my own. The member I talked to says hes not upset and it saved him time but im upset that ive been sending him traffic for years for him to profit on and never telling me anything about his idea to charge. I apologize to anyone I referred to him thinking they were getting free plans, I had no clue untill now that he was charging people. Here I was posting my build on youtube and reddit subs and sending them to him thinking I was helping people out with there first build and the whole time I was advertising for someone to take advantage of the situation and profit. Ill freely share my modified versions of the files. Can anyone reccomend a free file hosting site that wont take the files down and can handle large files? They are too big for me to post here. Maybe google drive? Ive never used it.... Will have to look into it |
