Control Panel Database: Post a picture of your Control Panel!

Well I have looked at this topic long enough. I still have to mount my panel to the arcade cab. I also have to get some black stranded wire since I bought the solid core and didn't realize I got the wrong stuff at Radio Shack.
Anyways here it is. I have 2 Happ Supers, 20 Year Reunion Stick modified by Torando Terry with the taller shaft for 4-way play. Tornado Spinner and Happ 3inch Trackball. Both spinner and trackball are USB for easy plug and play.
The panel itself is stained in Minwax Polyshades Honey Pine color. I sanded it 3 times staining each time. It is really smooth. No plexi cover on top. This is actually the smoothest sanding I have ever done. Also my best staining. I kind of suck at doing that stuff, but this project has made me better.

rdowdy95, what are the dimensions of your CP?
rdowdy95:
The dimensions are the same as in the Project Arcade book. They are the same give or take an 1/8 of an inch. So do you like the size of my control panel? It may be harder for a short person to reach my 4-way. My wife will definately have to sit on the bar stool to play Pac-Man, but I am a tall guy so it is all good. I wish I had the actual dimensions for you, but I am at work. If you still need them let me know.
MrScary:
Here is mine...it almost an exact duplicate of the SlikStik Classic. All its missing is the spinner and the dedicated 4-Way.
This panel was built for a cabinet I built for my daughters' school raffle. I normally would just buy the SlikStik, but I built this one to save money. It is the first time I had to build one.
You can see the cabinet (and download the plans) at my website..

MrScary that is a really nice panel. Looks like a SlikStik to me. Very cool.
