Best place on a cabinet for a volume control knob?
SirPeale:
A lot of real games had this inside the coin door. If your machine doesn't have one, on top would be your next best bet.
IntruderAlert:
what do you guys think about having a mute button in addition to the volume control?
Keep it in easy reach like a pause button so that you can keep playing with the sound off while someone else is say taking a phone call or whatever and then switch the sound right back to the level you had it before?

I actually mounted the volume knob and power button off the speakers I was using into the speaker area above my monitor bezel, between the speakers.
Pressing the power button will mute, and you can adjust the volume in-game without much trouble.
SirPoonga:
If you use a SB Live or newer they have a header pin set on the board that you use two buttons to volume up and down and if you press them at the same time you mute.
Doesn't pausing the game mute? And in most cases when you'd want to mute you will also pause?

I have a very easy MUTE solution: Turn the volume knob all the way down.
