What height do you guys have the top of the control panel above the ground?? I went into a small arcade on the weekend and noticed that the panels seemed a little low (original games like simpsons, nba jam and the like). I didn't have a tape measure with me and it's about a 45 minute drive to get there so I probably won't be going back soon. Can someone tell me what height the panel is on those games, I'll then add an inch or two to get a nice height. Also for people around 6' - 6'2" tall what do you have as the panel height? Thanks in advance -cdbrown |

I just went to an arcade auction a few weeks ago. Thats one thing I noticed. I was playing a classic Space Invaders upright. The overall height is 5ft tall!!! Many arcade machines are tiny! They sure seemed alot biger when I was 4ft tall. ;D |

the best thing ot do, is measure it where your waiste, then make it a little lower for the little ones, but still a good size for the big ones (did this come out right :) ) |

The front of my panel is at about 36" and the back about 37", giving a slight incline. I'm 5'11" and it felt comfortable to me. My wife is 5'2", and she doesn't seem to have much trouble kicking my a** at World Class Bowling. I think it is more of a feel thing. When I first built the cab it was at 37.5" up front and I thought it felt too high - I didn't think an inch and a half would matter but it did for me. I would try to do some sort of mock up to play with the height before desigining the cabinet. |
