I'm trying to hold my CP in place and I need some suggestions. Here's a quick and dirty cross section of how things look right now: The interior blocks are screwed and glued to the inside of the cabinet and they provide a 0.75" surface to clamp on to (I'm using 3" C-clamps). I think I'm OK there (unless one of you has a better idea). The problem area is connecting the top of the control panel to the rabbeted lip of the monitor panel/bezel panel. Due to the offsetting panels it is going to be tough to come up with something that will work. So far the best idea I can come up with is gluing a 3/8" panel to the underside of the control panel top so the surfaces will be aligned and then installing some cocktail clips or something. I really want this thing to be locked in place and basically immovable unless I open the coin door panel and reach up inside to unlock it (for maintenance or whatever). Any and all ideas are welcome! |

Cabs usually use a latch for that... the type you find on a toolbox is the best thing I can think of. Push the loop/hook over a hook on the other piece and then pull the lever tight. |

If you have access to the back side a control panel camp will work fine. http://homearcade.org/BBBB/cplatch.jpg They're more than forgiving enough to work with that offset. |
| ChadTower:
That's exactly what I was trying to describe. It should be perfect given that he wants to be able to reach up inside the coin door to access it. |
