Made some more progress The shape may look strange. But thats because it needs to fit within a ikea cabinet. |
| Martijn:
Started working on the control panel. And laminated both sides. Then applied the artwork and drilled the holes. Then added the controls and components and wired things up. The panel will be held in place with 8 very strong magnets. Because of the wall mounting of the cab, it was kind of a puzzle to make it as clean as possible without visible screws. |

Love this. The sharp lines just look fantastic. I am very curious to see if your magnet solution works - I have tried in the past using rare Earth magnets and it didn't work. I could still pop the CP off during quick movements with the joystick. Maybe mine weren't big enough though. |

Very cool cabinet. I look forward to hearing that your magnet plan has succeeded. |
| Martijn:
After a weekend of arcade goodness, I can say that the magnets hold up great. The control panel is easy to remove, but feels like it's locked down when mounted. It's really slim against the wall, but still very Arcade!. I approve!
