Ms. Pac-Man/Galga reunion in wood cp (again)

Hoopz:

Since you only routed 1/8" I doubt you would think it was too tall.  That's a marginal amount compared to the entire joy IMO.  It's not like you routed out an inch or more, which I know isn't possible but was used as example of what would cause the joystick to be much too high. 

AtomSmasher:

You could always re-make your CP using a new piece of wood and remember to top mount it this time.

I'm certainly not going to redo the whole control panel for it, I'm pretty sure my dad would refuse to assist. He is already getting tired of coming over to work on it everytime he's home. I wonder if top mounting it is still an option, I could just cut through for the joystick and route down whatever depth the wide part of the base is (can't be more than 1/8"). I would think the 3/8" left in the plywood would be sturdy enough to hold the control firmly. It will be covered with a CP overlay and lexan so it shouldn't show. Does anyone think this would cause a problem?

brophog:

Should work. I'd just make a new panel, but I know how being dependent on others changes that. How big is your panel and how many controls must be placed?

Santo8742:

its pretty large 48"x18". It has 4- 8 way joysticks with two of the players having seven buttons and the other two have four buttons, a 3" trackball, a spinner, the 4 way joystick, and a couple administrative buttons. This would make for quite a bit of reworking to redo it.
