It is the width of a mechanical pencil lead.

You need to break out of that thinking. Your productivity will be unbelievable, and you will be happier.

I'm satisfied at 1/16" myself-

And this week I'm accepting 1/8" just so I can get the freaking machine operational before the month is over.

OK - bumping this thread to get me moving. The summer of extreme heat and an unusually busy work schedule didn't allow me to do much of anything on this project. I also lost power in my garage and the electrician cannot figure out why and the only solution is to dig a 60' trench and bury a new line in the backyard. So my "shop" has no electricity unless I run an extension cord from the house. Hoping to get this fixed in the next 2 weeks.

All of the panels are cut so I'm working on the front panel where the cutouts are as well as the rear panels where I need a few holes for the camlock and the power receptacle. I'm also still undecided on the front panel. I'm definitely offsetting the coin door (to the left) but not sure what to do about the speakers on the right. Anyone have any links to rectangular speaker grills about 6"x9" or so?

Based on the feedback, I'm adding Kicker, Carnival, Guzzler, Circus Charlie and Lunar Rescue to the final list of 4-way; 2 button controls.. and I might actually ditch the second button since not that many games on this list use it... but I don't want to lose Qix.

For Qix and Phoenix I would want two buttons :)

Was the line feeding your workshop direct burial or in conduit and how old is it?

Very uncommon for wire to fail unless cut, nailed through, pinched, etc.

Trenching (again) sucks but if it can't be avoided...

Hey bobby - the line is running through underground conduit from the back of my house (somewhere) to the garage. It was put there in 2013 so not that long ago. The breaker in my basement keeps tripping so I’m told that means there is a short along the line somewhere but the electrician couldn’t find it. When the line gets to the house it becomes buried in my theater wall for a bit on the way to the breaker box and I cannot open up the wall for a number of reasons.

We had massive flooding in NJ from the hurricane a few weeks ago and that is when it stopped working. I had no water in my house thankfully but there is evidence that there was at least some water in my detached garaged where my tools are.

I’m probably keeping 2 buttons on the CP - it’s not crowded at all and will look just fine with the 2 start buttons, pause/exit and the joystick on there.ll

bobbyb13:
Sorry to hear you got caught up in that deluge and bummer on the electric.
Only person who could really sort out what it is would be the person who pulled the circuit originally.

But if there is no junction box anywhere between house panel and garage (where there could be wires soaking together and shorting that run) then something got pinched somewhere.

I suppose it is a good excuse to upgrade if the budget bears it.

I was ready to put 3 or 4 buttons on one of my panels and opted for just two myself also (four I guess when you account for ambidexterity.)
