Going w/ swappable metal CP's -- Have a couple of questions

Pages: << < (5/7) > >>

Here is how my cp connects. After looking at your pics, I believe I would go with velcroif only adults will be using it. If destructo kids are around, I still reccommend panel clamps. You could epoxy a section of wood to the cp's that would go inside the wood on the cabinet, and then attach some wood to the inside of the cabinet to bring the panel clamps out flush with the clamp catches on the cp. Tihs would be much more durable than velcro. Remember, this is your investment - protect it in whichever way you fell comfortable.

Thanks Shardian.  I think I might try some kind of test with the velcro first if it's not too expensive.  I'll try it on something other than the cab in case I don't think it's strong enough.

shardian:

It will definitely be strong enough. If you haven't got a copy of the project arcade book, then go get one. The CP on the project arcade cabinet is held on by velcro.

You should try the Partsexpress.com black vinyl.  I replaced the old Ring King overlay in the pic above with it and it looks and feels awesome!  Here's an old writeup about the vinyl with some pics...

If you want, I can take a few pics of mine when I get home from work tonight.

Or spend a few extra bucks and get a custom overlay printed at mamemarquees.com - I'm very happy with the way mine turned out.

I'm concerned about the stability as well. When I play some of my favorite two-stick games, the cabinet rocks!
