Iam just putting the lockdown bar on for now, Its my first cab and iam excited to get it done. Those are great ideas for my next version though.
-BTW With this design I hope to have unlimited access to the trackball do anythin cross in front of it may be a hinderance. Maybe theres a way to get all in there...playfield glass too.. ;)
Oh ya I havent seen the pinball handholes before but somebody else may have.
Kind Regards\

If you were to do it I think you would need to have routed out 1/4" deep square between the two openings so the artwork and glass could drop in and be flush with the surface to allow the trackball clearance. That would be too many steps back though.
I am really amazed at the entire design, quality of work, choices in materials and hardware. My jaw is still on the deck over the pinball controllers. You can bet you are gonna see more of that.
RetroJames:
I almost forgot. The whole way through the first half of the thread I kept saying to myself..."Boat in the Basement." No way is that thing going in the front door... :)
I see it is out of the garage and in the house, is the cab actually small enough or do you have double doors somewhere?
KrawDaddy:
I broke the cab down and carried all the parts in the house and up a stair well (except for the base-girlfriend helped) and put it back together in 13 min.
Brokedown the cab will easily fit through a 30" door.

Did you see this somewhere or is that your idea? I cannot wait to see that with the lockdown bar corners. Do you have both the horizontal and vertical pieces?

I had no idea that is what the L-shaped cutouts were for. I can hardly wait to see it with the lockdown bar.
Great work.

after you put the laminate on how did you cut the holes so perfectly?
