Author Topic: Free Aircraft carrier Control panel (Flynn's) (Read 8383 times)

I previously built the top of this control panel and will not be using it. Figured I would offer it up to anyone that would want it for free (just pay for shipping). It's 3 layers, 1/2" wood designed for using the universal mounting plates (large ones) from Paradise Arcade, 1/4" to cover the routing insets, and 1/16" Polycarbonate on top. You can use it, or use it as a template as well. If interested let me know:

That's beautiful, you may want to reconsider this.

The burning question I have is - how long did it take to make

Howard_Casto · « **Reply #4 on:** July 24, 2020, 03:40:06 pm »

I kept all my failed panels... to remind me. Never forget!

P3 and P4 joysticks aren't angled, therefore there is nothing wrong with that CP.

Very cool, I'd throw my name out there but this would just be one more project that I wouldn't finish haha. Hope whoever gets this gives it a good home!

Strap it on your back and run around the house. You’re welcome.

China is looking to field a couple of aircraft carriers. You could try the Chinese government.

Although they aren't going nuclear. That CP is probably too big for them.

Howard_Casto · « **Reply #10 on:** July 26, 2020, 08:35:54 pm »

Let me try....

I hear Worf broke his bat'leh, he could probably use it.

What a terrible design. What were you thinking??

Bump this one. People ask all the time for a CAD of this, so I figured someone could use it and save the time.

GTchr1s · « **Reply #14 on:** August 06, 2020, 11:05:43 pm »

Nice, thanks LTC for the heads up!

I sure could use that. I can send you a UPS shipping label if its still available.

Yup, PM me and we can discuss details.

Mike A · « **Reply #16 on:** August 06, 2020, 11:27:15 pm »

I think that thing needs to be transported by rail or by barge.

The biggest thing UPS has is a semi.

Sarcasm?

I can ship up to 8' long via UPS parcel service.

Howard_Casto · « **Reply #19 on:** August 07, 2020, 12:56:15 am »

Yup. Also I think they got rid those heavy transports when they scrapped the space shuttle program so it might be hard to get it shipped in a timely fashion.

bperkins01 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 07, 2020, 07:37:46 am »

They retired the 747's.. I'm assuming the one that ferried the space shuttle is parked too....

Mike A · « **Reply #21 on:** August 07, 2020, 08:16:26 am »

The crawlers are still operational. They are being upgraded to handle the SLS, if it ever gets built.

They weigh six million pounds each. Between the two of them they might be able to handle that CP.

You will have to be patient. Their top speed is less than 1 mph.

SpaceX must have something to transport their Starship heavy lift rocket once it is ready for duty.

It will be the largest rocket ever built. Almost as big as that CP.

Okay, what is the deal with the CP

Like most great monoliths it's origins and use have been lost to history. Perhaps one day with funding and heavy machinery archaeologists can excavate around it's massive footprint and find answers.

I fear it is already too late. I’ve heard whispers of people worshiping this great monument and the beginnings of a religion are forming as we speak. Sacred ground dare not be disturbed.

Laythe · « **Reply #25 on:** August 09, 2020, 04:02:42 pm »

I'm thinking, split the three layers. Don't stack them, mount them side by side. I'm tired of seeing all these measly four player panels, I'm waiting for somebody to really take it to the next level with a twelve player, 105 button triple-Jarrett setup.

You're gonna need that width for the 85" LCD mounted in landscape orientation anyway.

Mike A · « **Reply #26 on:** August 09, 2020, 05:59:37 pm »

You could always go multilevel.

Single story arcade machines are old thinking.

You purists with your wide screen LCDs make me sick.

Are the helicopters they used to transport Kong still in service?

I think if the panel is slimmed down by about 1/2 making it just 2 players it may just about squeeze on there

Amazing and timely - that is a 2p cabinet that allows social distancing.
