Then you wouldn't have to take your hands off the controls to coin up. Just head-butt the buttons!

Great job on the artwork.
What size/type of monitor are you planning on using?
If you are not going to have a marquee, you could cut 4 inches off the height. Why did you make it so tall?
I used dowel pins on my last project. No screws anywhere, but it is strong as a tank.
Looks nice.
Inman:
Thanks for the feedback, fellas. :notworthy: The marquee area is officially set to be a "coin up" area, and I like the idea of painting it a metallic silver. Putting a Williams' logo in the middle is something I am considering as well. As for the dimensions - it's 24 inches tall, 18 inches wide, and about 21 inches deep. I have a gigantic bar in my basement, and it should look just fine in the corner. Too busy to work on it last night. Hope to get more done later in the week. More ideas / any ideas welcome.
Inman:
Oh, yeah - for the monitor... I have a spare 15" Sony Trinitron with a very nice picture that would fit fine. I also have a 13" TV that I may use. ....will need to do some more testing to determine which will look the best.

Looks great.
Did you cut the stencils yourself?
I want to build a Defender Upright but I think I will get the stencils cut professionally.
Did you use them once and chuck them away?
Hopefully your wife lets you have a cocktail.
My Multi Willaims cocktail is now my work desk :-[ as I don't have room to put it anywhere else.

So you can see I am missing an upright machine to go with the others.
Maybe after the Galaga, Pacman and Ms Pacman I will build a Defender.
All the best with your projects.
