Most joysticks have a recess built into the top of them that will allow the dustwasher to move below the CP. The dustwasher in your diagram will fall into that recess, unless it is held up by something below it. --- End quote --- Depends on the stick he's using. There's no built-in recess on T-sticks, J-sticks, Prodigys, Semitsu, Sanwa, Nintendo... But yeah, if it's a standard Happ or Wico stick, no recess will be needed for under-panel dustwashers. & I realize the dustwasher in my diagram appears to be floating- my MS paint skills are less than stellar. ;) |

With that Blitz cabinet, what type of screws are those around the joystick? If I could do something like that for attaching my joysticks, I wouldn't ever have to worry about someone pushing down on the sticks too hard and accidently pop the joystick out of the bottom of the CP cover. That was one of my chief concerns about flush-mounting the joysticks; that I'd have to screw it into place from the bottom, and that through years of use the screws may eventually not hold, and I end up having to replace the whole CP top. And I think I am probably gonna go with 2 sheets of thin plexiglass, and place the CPO on the bottom one. It'll be twice as much work to cut out, but it'll ensure a professional look and that my CPO can be easily removed from the panel without damaging it if for some reason I need to. |

I was thinking about this some more today. You could even stick your CPO onto some thinner plastic like you commonly see "FOR SALE" signs made out of. Although it may actually be easier to cut out the holes in the thicker plexi. Might be worth an experiment to just buy a cheap sign and try cutting some holes in it to see... |
