I finished my first cab 6 weeks ago. |

Well, you have EVERYTHING, but the layout is awful. Give me a minute or two with photoshop. |

When you are making a panel with gameplay and not looks in mind, it tends to work best if all the controls are just in a straight line. Like this. I would also recommend the Ms. Pac/Reunion stick instead of the 4-way wico, it works really well when RIGHT NEXT to a taller 8-way like that, and it plays the Pac-games a lot better than the Wico does. |

Thanks Paige. That looks very playable. I'll see if I can get the panel drilled over the weekend. All the panels are 27-3/8" wide by 14" tall. That makes a CP box similar to the appearance of a MK cabinet. The top pieces will slip into place and then pop right out. My other panels will all have disconnects for mounting to an Ipac in the cabinet. In another thread you mentioned hooking up interchangeable panels with Jamma Harnesses. When you buy a "Jamma Harness" does it come with the mating connectors and both input and output wire sets or do you buy each side separately? |

You buy one Jamma harness (get the cheapest one you can find, as you won't be running voltage through it so it doesn't have to be high quality). You wire up your encoders to that. Then you buy a Jamma fingerboard for each control panel. All the controls on that panel get wired up to the fingerboard, which plugs into the Jamma harness, which is hooked up to your encoders. The jamma harness itself is the expensive part (like $15) the fingerboards are only about $1 each. A full jamma harness will have 50-54 wires on it, should be more than enough for your needs. |
