| RetroJoker:
Hy all, i try to build my first own Arcade coffee table. I want that the buttons flip in/out with the Drawer, but i donīt have a good idea how to solve it:( In this video you can see what i mean. Anybody have a solution for this Problem? Or Maybe anybody build it like this? |

You are only limited by your imagination. 1. have your buttons on a hinge that flips open or shut. 2. Have a cover that hides your buttons that moves or flips out of the way 3. Have a cover for the whole table that hides everything. 4. Put the controls in drawers that slide open and lock. 5. Use Break out controllers that stow under the table... That's what I came up with in 2 seconds. Give it some thought and find something that is doable that meets your needs. |

Welcome aboard, RetroJoker. ;D The mechanism is similar to the attached diagram. (not drawn to scale) There are two vertical supports (green) for the control panel near the left-rear and right-rear corners of the control panel. When you push in the drawer (purple), two pivot-arms (red) attached to the body of the table keep the bottom of each vertical support from moving back with the drawer. Rounding the bottom-back edge of each vertical support will smooth the transition. Scott EDIT: If the hinged mechanism is too complicated, use the approach in this video. There's a good view of the drawer at 1:27. |
