Rotating top....need ideas
PCC:
An issue with a rotating control panel is the wires for the controls; with the panel rotating, you must make sure that the wires will not be pulled, tangled up, or weakened. I was thinking that hacked wireless controllers might be a solution to this problem.

My control panel top will only be allowed to spin one 360 degree revolution left and then will be stopped, then it can go back to the right 360 degree. As a result, there will not be too much twisting of wires. I have thought about that it it should not be a problem.
PS: I went to Home Depot and bought a 1000lbs 12" lazy susan support for $7.50 Thanks !!!! I will post some pics when I am done, however it will take a while so dont hold you breath....definitely a garage project for nighttime only.

Frostillicus:
sounds like a cool idea - will it be like a showcase cab or something? or like a regular upright with a ring of rotating controls around it?
AX:
I would be interested in your addon for driving. I have those same ideas with my cab although the rotating assembly is a bit much for me. AND DAMN air hockey inthe living room sheesh even MY wife would kill me for that. anyway, where'd ya pick up the sir hockey table. I want a fullsize one but 3 g's for a true table is a bit much right now.

Oh.... I see now, I misunderstood your project.
I thought you were going to have a circle of 4 player cabs and the 4 players were going to stand on the lazy suzan. That way, you could just spin the 4 players over to whatever game you wanted them to play! I bet you could motorize it too.
