Some of the buttons are lighted. |

Ok.. How did you manage to mount that without a plate on a wooden CP? d. |
| cholin:
You remove the top half of the trackball casing and just mount it direct, I assume. http://www.willcoxonline.com/mame/controlpanel/controlpanel.htm |
| ErikRuud:
No, No, NO!!!!! I have mentioned it before, but My CP's are made from two layers of plywood. The top layer is high quality 1/4" plywood while the bottom layer is 3/4" plywood. For the joysticks and trackball, the lower layer has cutous that fit arond the controls. The top layer only has the holes for the sticks and trackball. This providdes a stronger mounting surface than routing out MDF would. |
| Stingray:
Or if you have the tools to work with metal, you could always build a metal control panel and eliminate all this fussing about with mounting plates and routing out wood. -S |
