Center to center I only got about 2.75"
My old vendetta cab has 3.5"

I dont understand why with such a big CP someone laid it out that close.

Its going to have to work I guess

Lol true man true.... I think It will be ok, Im not going to change things to find out the trackball wont fit down the road.

I cut the CP out.... the 2 radius cuts called for a 3" hole saw but biggest I have is 2.5" Still need to get a 3" for the trackball.
Anyway cut it out with my janky skillsaw and it turned out great. Except that one chipped button hole- drives me nuts seeing it :banghead:
Will get putty and more ply this weekend.

Mocked the CP up on the cab..... finally!.....starting to look like something :applaud: Still.... A long way to go.

I have a new found respect for cabinet builders. Its a long detail orientated project. Fun but daunting for me as its my first build and still clueless about the proper way to do everything like mounting the sticks etc.... before I even jump that far ahead I still need to complete my CP and it has alot of angles and I have no miter :dunno
To make things worse...I got in a hurry to start the project and somehow missed Chances comment that he cut his sides to hold the CP at a slight angle so now must angle my CP frame :banghead:

I was lined up to sell my vendetta cab for $225 this weekend but now having second thoughts. I just found out about those 500-in-1.... 619-in-1 .....xxxx-in-1 jamma boards and think it would be nice to install one in the vendetta cab and just move the p3,p4 buttons to players 1 and 2 giving both players 6. Then Id have a beater machine for the garage and it would hold me over while I took my time finishing this project.
Could also borrow one of the old cabs dual coin doors for this new project.

But then another part of me says to sell it and use the money to get the 32" screen I need. Im tight on funds right now with 4 kids going back to school soon. Uggg....what to do.
