Which side of a cocktail cab is player 1?

My guess is, as you're looking at the side of the cab with the coin door, that the CP to your right is player 1, but I don't even have a monitor in my cab, let alone MAME set up so I can check, so I thought I'd ask.   Is that correct?

Player 1 on my cocktail cab is on the left.



quarterback:

Interesting... I wonder if I picture Player 1 on the right because of where my cab is currently jammed into a corner....   

When I look at your picture, that looks "correct" but I've got it in my head that it's the right side that's player 1... I just can't remember how the original cocktail cabs were set up.

Thanks for the reply, holdennut

On all the Midway cocktail cabs I played, the P1 CP is left of the coin door like in the picture above.  I own a Pacman cocktail cabinet and it is the same way.

This also follows logic as most people are right handed and it is easier to put the coin in the coin door with their right hand when sitting on the left side.
