I've played on both. Angled and non angled makes no difference and I doubt anybody would notice...
Wrong. So wrong. People do notice. 

Ditch the coin door. And have some tidy speakers down there..

Wow please don’t listen to this guy, he’s either smokin’ crack or purposely giving you terrible advice.
Yeah I go around giving purposeful bad advice. Call me a drug addict.  Speakers don't have to be on display you can hide them via speaker mesh etc..
There's many things you could do with that large area underneath, the coin door looks rediculous


This guy....

Bad advice.

Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.

I see more cabs without coin doors than i do with coin doors, do you flame all of those threads.
If your going to make nasty comments just because you don't like someone's opinion then I'll call you out for what you are...
You sounded like one so I called you one..
Move on

There’s opinions and there’s just plain bad advice. You didn’t say “in my opinion”, you stated fact and offered instructions in a project thread.
If you want to debate the look of coin doors, or angling Joysticks, create a thread and let’s hear your points on why you think your opinion holds any merit worth considering. Don’t go spreading this bad advice then claim “it’s only my opinion” as a bail-out.

Finally have a working trackball that can be mounted into the CP, so I'll be posting a fully finished, lit-up, control panel picture album in the next few hours!  :applaud:

After some “brief” technical difficulties, I’ve finally finished the CP. We ordered a replacement power supply for the trackball, so no lights yet. We got some bubbly ball tops from Paradise Arcade and they look awesome, and give the CP a glowing look.
