Anyone have experience building 2-player fighter cabinets?

edit: apparently they are "Viewlix" cabinets, or atleast that is a style very similar to this one.

I was at my local arcade recently and I've grown to love the 2 person fighter cabinets... so I guess it's time to build one.

They are low to the ground, speakers built in, LCD screen.  I'm not sure what kind of joysticks they use... they are 8 way, very soft feel, same for the buttons, not much feedback, probably low spring tension.

Any designs out there I can work off of?

Found another pic of a very similar cabinet.

The one pictured below is obviously a single player cabinet but they are all the same.

To my knowledge those are mostly all Japanese style joysticks and buttons.  I believe the most common joystick on the fighters is the Sanwa JLF.  Good luck with the build!

I don't know where you can find plans, but there have been a few members here that has built these types of cabs from scratch.

The best one I've seen here is SpaceHedgehog's Vewlix Slim:

There might be some tips in his build thread that can steer you in the right direction.
