my first... "comment on my CP layout" - 80% complete!
The Man:
This is off topic, but I was wondering if you still had the Power Supply for that cab. Mine isn't working and I'm having a problem finding a replacement.
If you or anyone could help me out please leave me a message.
Thanks,

I would take a bit more off the sides of the main panel, so that it will fit between the side walls of the cabinet.
That will make the lines on the cabinet flow much better because it will retain the original T-molding down the sides.
You might also consider going modular.
That would let you swap out controls (trackball and steering wheel included), and give a more finished look to the front of the cabinet, especially when using the trackball.

I totally agree, but I've been trying to preserve the wood support for the original control panel and unfortunately it extends above the side panels. I actually ran two stopped dados for the supports to fit into to reduce the gap between the sides and the panel.
I thought about wrapping the CP with new t-molding to help tie it in. Now that I think about it though, I might be able to cut the wood down a bit without loosing the ability to replace the plastic cp surround.
Phase 1 - MAME the cabinet without maiming it. Ability to swap in original control panel.
Phase 2 - go totally modular

Yes, I still have the main PS. It did have a pair of newer switched power supplies before I got it and I don't have those. They were spliced into the harness but I'm not sure what they were running. Check your PM for my email address.

I thought about doing something like that too. Only i was thinking of using rods underneath for support. Something like you see on a public crapping stall door, but on a bigger scale.
