Did I miss something?  What's the latest update on this?

As for the "Ultimate Cab", here's my $0.02 - I was basically planning on using your CP, but in a 4 player theatre style cabinet in which the WHOLE CP rotates - no attachments required.  So it would look similiar to this:

But the section under the CP would be as wide as the CP itself.  This would allow plenty of room for a dual steering wheel CP and a Star Wars/Top Gun CP.

As for the pedals, if you're willing to forego a coin door, you could have an 'L' shaped "door" that flips down, pivoting on the "corner" of the 'L'.  Think corny computers fliping out of the glove comparntment of the Batmobile here.  Below is the best I can do to illistrate it at this time.

If you needed to, you could place the pivot point a little further back inside the cab to compensate for the pivot not being at ground level.  I hope that makes sense.  Interested to know what you think of these ideas.  I'm several months away from starting my cab, so if I see yours and I like it, I'd much rather just buy a kit from you.  Yours is by far the best I've seen to date, but I'd really like to have the entire 4 player CP rotate.  It just seems to me like if opens up so many options that way.

Oh, one last thing.  The reason I was going to build a theatre style arcade is because I'm a Golden Tee fanatic and I had concerns over playing GT on your current setup.  I think the monitor angle (or lack there of) could be an issue.  Have you played GT on your setup yet?

Thanks for all your hard work and creativity.

No updates yet.  I am planning to get this rolling sometime this summer, but I can't tell you exactly when.

You may be interested in my plans for additional designs once I get the first line of machines cranked out.  Something like a rotating showcase cab may be next on my list...  ;)

Uhm sign me up for that rotating showcase.

I wish there was a kit for a showcase.

Just so I'm clear, is a showcase cab the same thing as what I referred to as a theatre style cab?
