Install Help - Plexi/Lexan Control Panel Surface

Yes, this is big. :)

Turns out I purchased a Mechanized Attack 4 cabinet on ebay last month, and have been working feaverishly to gut it and ready it for the control panel I am also building. I hope I didn't offend anyone in the Mechanized Attack camp, since I cut into the side art to build my own personal system. (hee hee). The frame on this unit is 3/4" MDF and was in very good shape, so it has been very nice to work with. It also came with a working Coin Door, Marquee and solid glass front. Not bad for $62 with local pickup/no shipping!

Anyway, overall control panel top surface is 44" wide x 16" deep. It has a player 1 station (4-way sticks) and a player 2 station (8-way sticks) and also has a 3" HAPP trackball in the center, along with a HAPP 8-way Heavy Duty flight stick. And the spinner (of course) is an Apache Controls Blackhawk Push/Pull. That spinner rocks for all sorts of games! Oh yea, I also have 2 ACT LABS (original style) Light Guns.

Anyway, the control panel box also has a solid pull-out shelf unit in the front, for access to the KB/Mouse. I am glad I spent the time to make the shelf, it will come in handy over time.

Here are some pictures.

Lutus:

That would explain the size!!!   ;D

I don't think you will be crucified for Mame-ing that cabinet.  But just wondering, did that thing work when you got it or was it sold "non-working"?

The original cab was sold as is, and it appeared to turn ON but beyond that, nothing really happened on the monitor and it seemed to need help, which I could not provide. So instead, I ripped the guts out and got to work. :)

Lutus:

Are you going to keep the guns that came with the cab?  I personally don't want them but you could sell or give them away in the "Buy/Sell/Trade" forum.  Just a thought.

Good minds think alike.  :cheers:

Just sold the guns last night...
