The first Missile command version uses two 4/8 switchable ultimarc T-stick plus with balltops and a 3 inch happ trackball running an ultimarc interface. It connects to the cab with two large bolts and can be swapped out in 1 min or so. I matched the missile command layout and added the T stick and extra buttons for the most classic games.
The second is my Robotron model using Groovygame gears interface and two 47-ways. The spinner is a GGG. I wanted to make a perfect controller for the standard classic button games such as asteroids/defender. I'm a huge tempest fan so the tempest knob and button placement pretty much match that control panel as well. The graphics were printed by mame marquee (awesome job)

These are my favs. REALLY like the idea/artwork on the MC one!

No awards to be won here, sorry. Substance over style. :cheers:
Two sided, rotating panel.
Both the panels and cab need mild paint touchup. Waiting until the shifter is installed to do that, tho.
The main panel will eventually have an overlay. Two UltiMarc Plus sticks and Happs buttons, along with a nice Beston Imperial 2 1/4" trac populate the main. Nintendo/Happs buttons on the flip-up admin panel and the driving side. Official Pole Position wheel/opto on steering side. Happs shifter en route.
The edges appear off-white in the pics. Dunno why - they're not.
Go here to get a rundown on the cab's building and see an AVI of the panel rotating:

Lots of cool stuff here. I think it'd be even better if everyone posted their own thoughts about their CP as to what you'd do different if you started over...
Something you'd tweak, something you did that didn't work, etc. Would be helpful to get more ideas as I plan mine.

Inspired by Supercade, my two deck design is 40 inches wide and 20 inches deep. Mounted on the 28 inch wide cabinet (still under construction), it doesn't seem all that big. The joystick/button layout was optimized for single player classics and Smash TV.

I like that dual deck, good way to get that all in one control panel.
one question though:
Is the trackball annoying being on the top deck or do you not notice any difference with it.
