Mounting your Control Panel??
Cue-Ball:
I have a cabinet exactly like that. My CP attaches using three long bolts. One on each side going horizontally into the cab and one in the center going vertically into a piece of wood on the inside of the front panel. The CP itself flips towards you on a long hinge. In the down position it's held down by metal clamps that work similarly to the bottom ones posted by Xphile. The ones on my panel are metal, but they work in pretty much the same way. If anyone is interested i can get some pics tonight and post on my site.

I can't speak for pezcore, but if you would kindly photograph and upload what you are describing it woudl go a long way to showing how it could be done (i.e. the 3 bolts and the clamps for the top) visually where textually we have failed =)
Thanks!

I did the same thing that Snake did with the LBrackets underneith. Then I had long bolts (pointing upwards toward control panel) that were epoxied (sp?) to the LBrackets so they wouldn't move. Then in my control panel I just created holes for each bolt. Then just add a washer and nut and tighten and that's it. Very easy to take apart, yet very sturdy.

I have a Neo-Geo conversion cabinet (and it's the same cabinet style as yours), and this is how that cabinet does it:
The cabinet has pieces of wood mounted to "shelve" the control panel. These pieces of wood have holes in them, like so:
The back and bottom of the control panel also have holes, through while carriage bolts go through, and then through the holes in the cabinet:
