help with a wobbly control panel base (showcase cab)

Pages: << < (6/13) > >>

BobA:

Showcase cabs in arcades need a piece between the control panel and the monitor cab to give support and to protect the wiring.

IntruderAlert:

Yes, my recommendation is probably a bit too permanent.

But that control panel base is going to always be wobbly until you find a way to bolt it all together

can you show us some detailed pics of the area Bob is talking about?

hulkster:

well the area Boba is talking about is non-existent.  when i first cut the pieces and built the thing, i had that little piece sticking out to connect to the monitor base.  however, once i got it put together and got the control panel part on top of the cp base, it was way too high, so i had to cut off the bottom of my cp base, thinking it wouldnt be a problem.  well that shows my carpenter skills and knowledge and of course now its wobbly.  instead of posting pics, it will be just as easy to post the link to my site here  http://bellsouthpwp.net/d/d/ddilday13/home.html  and then you click on the Construction link to the left and it will show you just about all the pics you need.  (cept for a few that arent working)  i know your idea was a more permanent solution, but you are right...its going to have to be connected to the other base in order to stabalize it.  otherwise, im going to have to rebuild the cp base. 

IntruderAlert:

Would it be possible to mount some brackets from underneath?

hulkster:

for what purpose?
