Rotating top....need ideas
unclet:
This seems like exactly what I need. Think I will get the 12" one rated for 1000lbs.... Perfect....thanks a bunch dog.
As for my control panel, I already have a 4-player Mame cabinet built and I am now designing a sitdown driving arcade "add-on". Something you will be able to move in front of the existing Mame cabinet and TV and start playing. I need a rotating top since my control panel (so far) will have a Pole Position Steering wheel, Spy Hunter steering assembly, Star Wars yoke and a Sega HangOn Motorcycle handlebar assembly. I want the player (who is sitting in my new Indy 500DX fiberglass racing seat) to be able to spin the control panel to select which driving control they want to use. I have no problem with being able to see the TV, since these driving controls will not be mounted on the top of the spinning control panel, but rather on the side edges......I have to think about it some more though....it will take me awhile to build as well
PS: Yeah my picture was horrible.....I did mention "very very" crude. :)
Thanks for the idea. It is amazing the 12" lazy susan can hold up to 1000lbs and be so thinly designed.....

And only 6.99! I keep thinking I'm looking at it wrong, I would expect it to be more expensive. I guess not...

You can also buy that same lazy susan at Home Depot for the same price, no shipping or waiting.... :)

1000 lbs.!?!?!? How in the name of god am I the first person to respond here? Even if you put four of every type of arcade control known to man on a control panel and they were all made of lead it would not be anywhere near 1000 lbs.
I really REALLY want to see this thing when it's done. It sounds like the most assinine thing I've ever heard (read: if you pull this off it'll probably be the coolest thing I've ever seen). You must have a room in your house dedicated to this machine to have enough room to accomodate the monster you're talking about bringing to life.

I am not going to put 1000 lbs of stuff on this control panel, but I figured, for an extra $2 I can go from a 500lb rating to a 750lb rating and for another $2 I can get to a 1000lb rating. For minor cost, it seems worth it to get the highest rating so I can be assured the lazy susan would never bend or anything forever.
I will keep you posted on the final results, since I am still in the design phase, but I believe I can get this cabinet "add-on" working as described, especially now with the lazy susan being so cheap. I will check Home depot first though....thanks
PS: This "add-on" will go next to my existing 4-player cab and my fullsize restored Brunswick arcade air hockey table in my living room......yep...living room. I have a "VERY" understanding wife ;)
