Midway style prefered

I've used a couple of Arcade Depot's Midway style kits in the past, they turned out beautifully too. They take an hour or two to put together. They're  a little more expensive now than when I bought from them, but I think the end result is well worth it.

JoyMonkey,

Did they have the glass and clips?  Did it have the metal CP with it?

[JoyMonkey]

I got the clips and metal control panels from them, they drilled the control panels to a drawing I gave them and they worked out fine.
At the time, they didn't do glass, but they have it now for $95. I got a local glass company to make the tempered glass for me for $70. I got monitor bezels from someplace else, but ArcadeDepot has them now precut for $17.

[Hoagie_one]

do you have to buy the CP's separately from the kits?

it seems that way

[JoyMonkey]

I think so. If I was getting another one, I'd just make the panels myself- it's just a piece of aluminum with three bends and the appropriate holes punched in it, sanded and sprayed black.

...I used them too....very happy with the results!....fast shipping....(but they were a little sloppy and made a few mistakes that they corrected).

Overall....great quality, good service ....very happy customer!

PS- I'm going to post pics soon by the way (in projects) as I just rebuilt my cocktail cab over the last two weekends!
