Free Aircraft carrier Control panel (Flynn's)

I can't even wrap my head around that cab.    There's just so much to digest...

[Howard_Casto]

I just don't understand.  And there's a crib next to it.  Won't someone think of the children?

Just wow. Xiaou would defend that cab to the death.

Wait... that thing is real?  I thought someone just took a weird panorama with their phone.

It’s as real as you are!

His mitre cuts suck.

So at no time during design or construction did the thought "maybe this is too wide" pop into someone's head?  It's too funny.

Seems like it should be filled with ice with beer sticking out..

[Mike A]

Or really tall people should be pissing in it.

Which of course is just used beer...

Please quit posting pics of that thing.  Every time I look I see more details that raise more questions.  Like why are there three monitors and four sets of speakers?  Why not either two or six?  Why are said speakers centered on the cabinet and not in relation to the monitors?  Why are there two sets of wii sensor bars?  That'd only be used on either the wii or wii u and wouldn't you play those both on the same screen?  If the two monitors on the right are the ones that are the ones that use the sensor bars then why is one of the zappers hung on the far left? Why is there one vertical round tube crt, one lcd and one flat tube horizontal crt?  I mean I guess that covers all bases.

Imagine playing a vertical game and having to take 3 steps to hit an admin button!

Here’s the back side. As you can see, it’s really a shell built around a table:




This was originally posted in a Facebook MAME group. The guy is from Italy:



Here’s a link to a 38 minute video of him playing it (Chance is probably thinking “38 minutes? ---smurfette---, please! My opening credits are longer than that!”):



And finally, this was me when someone showed me this post:

And not knowing which one to hit because there 8 unlabeled buttons.

I just don't understand  the mindset here.... it's like "Well I could build three cabinets for my needs or I could glob them all into one gigantic monstrosity and save maybe 200 bucks in parts. "

I like it..
The engineering alone.
Its the Swiss Army Knife of cabinets.

Does everything..  but nothing well..

I bet Arroyo is happy the heat is off him now..

I'll share the same thoughts I did privately. 

That guy is the Picasso of arcade builders, he's under-appreciated in his own time.

If this is still available I'd definitely be interested? Thanks

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:
