This project is close to being finished. My control panel has been an adventure. I realized that the CPO I had was not drilled correctly so I picked up a new one from ArcadeShop. Steven had a couple of blemished units left over so I snagged those. He's in the process of running another batch. Now that my control panel looked okay I attempted to put it into place and found out my cabinet front had warped in and it was no longer the right width. Just shave the CP down I thought. Not so great as trying to cut or sand the CPO down would cause it to separate. So I am not in the process of widened the cabinet front back to it's original width. I am slowly pushing the sides out and bending out the front panel. While that's happening I will work on refinishing the second cabinet because who doesn't need concurrent projects? DeLuSioNal29 - I am waiting for the CPO and plexi from This Old Game. |

So... I released my Youtube video on Friday (with a Defender pick up) and a guy on KLOV saw it and contacted me directly. Turns out he knows a guy who is still making these reproductions (CNC'd!). I am in the process of contacting the guy and will let you know what he says. He does the overlay too. The guy who referred me told me he sells them for $90 shipped with overlay, but I will need to confirm that once I hear back. Interested? (pic below) DeL |

I haven't heard from This Old Game about when they are printing the overlays so I am definitely interested in one! Especially if I don't have to do any cutting or drilling. Do you know what joysticks the panels are cutout for? |
| DeLuSioNal29:
From the looks of it, the panel is cut for both Japanese and Happ style sticks. Either will fit. I plan to put Dominux8 sticks in mine. >:D I heard back from the guy and he said he is having printing issues that he's trying to sort out at the moment. Once it's resolved he will get back to me. So we shall see... DeL |
