What are the buttons to the left of the top fire? Button in top left of panel? 4 buttons but diagonal? If the player 2 joystick in the way for getting at those buttons? Do you play bowling, shuffleboard, horseshoes, or golf games (any game not missle command, quantum, or centipede)? If so the spinner is in the way. |

In my opinion, it seems to cramped.... especially button placement.. but to each his own. |

(i like the idea of having slikstik build, integrate, and test a complete panel). then replace the super 4-ways with wico 4-ways. i think i'm going to like the 360s, but if i don't, i can always replace them with 8-way wicos. --- Quote ---I still say 2 Wicos and a 49 would make for a much less cluttered CP, but if you like it, that's all that matters. --- End quote --- aesthetically, i don't mind the cluttered "frankenpanel" look; in fact i think i actually like the idea of a panel filled with metal joystick handles, spinner handle, flight stick, etc. (i'm afraid my geeky side is showing ::) ). of course, i'm extremely concerned that the layout is comfortable and the components are excellent... |

Button in top left of panel? --- End quote --- if you click thru the links in the table on my website, you'll see the classes of games in which these buttons would be used. i'm working on a minor update that replaces the top fire with a flight stick and eliminates the buttons between it and the spinner. will also add a "pause" button in the upper right corner. --- Quote ---4 buttons but diagonal? If the player 2 joystick in the way for getting at those buttons? --- End quote --- i think you mean the 4 between the top fire and the qbert stick. these are player 1 & 2 coin and start. no conflict with P2 joystick, because not used for game play. --- Quote ---Do you play bowling, shuffleboard, horseshoes, or golf games (any game not missle command, quantum, or centipede)? If so the spinner is in the way. --- End quote --- no, i don't play any of those games. i realize this is drawback of this layout. it's a compromise i chose to make. |
