I will make a custom shelf to store the extra cpanels on. Also, each of my cpanels is funnly enclosed and will act as a stand-alone cpanel for use on another computer. Darryl |

Here's a random thought but I'll post it here: For those of you using swappable panels.. if you don't want to use latch clips like the original games (make you reach behind the coin door and flip to remove/lock to tighten) you could use the super powerful magnets out of old dead hard drives! These ceramic magnets are incredibly strong, and you could mount 2 to 4 of them on either end under/behind the control panel and then put metal plates on the panel to connect to. Their magnetic field is very limited and directional so they should not affect a monitor nearby. This way you can just "pop" the old panel off and put the new one on and have it snap in place as you hear the magnets attach. |

I have modular panels which are probably a little smaller, but I bought one of those heavy duty storage cabinets and the modules fit just fine. There is a pic at the bottom of this page: http://users.adelphia.net/~bsturk/mame/controls.html I keep it right next to the cab: http://users.adelphia.net/~bsturk/8bit/pics/comp_room/8bit_storage.jpg Might not work for very large panels. ~telengard |
