O'Boyle's Arcade - by the "book"
Spyridon:
Next step was to cut the holes in the side of the control panel box for the pinball flipper buttons and a couple of admin buttons. Same technique as the top. Pilot hole followed by spade bit
On one side, I cut the hole a little too low which will cause the button to hit up against the control panel bottom. I'll have to get the router in there and clear out some room.
Okay, that's it for today's update. Next steps are to start cutting out the joystick holes. I also received my Nova Matrix marquee light yesterday (very fast shipping) so I really want to get that installed and see how it looks as well.
Akuma:
Looking good so far. Just curious why did you call it O'Boyle's? Is this a reference to King of Queens?

No King of Queens reference. It's my last name.
Spyridon:
Can anyone explain to me how to install the lexan over the joysticks? The holes I cut are the same size as the button holes. I thought the tops of the joysticks would just screw off, but they don't seem to and they are too big to fit through. Do I need to take the joysitcks apart (and it that easy) or do I make the holes bigger?
bfauska:
It depends which joysticks you have. Many have a retaining clip on the bottom of the joystick shaft that you have to pull off then the shaft comes out. Many parts of the assembly will fall off of the shaft so keep track of which order and direction they were on there. Mount the joystick base to the cp then put the shaft back in with all the parts and re-attach the clips.
If you know which joystick you have you can proabably find a schematic online that shows the assembly order. If you don't know which joysticks you have you should post a picture here and somebody will tell you.
