O'Boyle's Arcade - by the "book"
Spyridon:
More work on the control panel today. I placed my control panel overaly and lexan on the control panel top and lined up the holes.
Once it was lined up correctly, I clamped it in place.
I didn't use any adhesive on the overlay, instead, I cut a star patter in each of the button holes and used the buttons to lock it in place. It holds very tight and isn't going anywhere.
And here it is with all the buttons and joysticks in place. (still need to add the spinner)
The last thing for tonight was the put the t-molding in place on the control panel top.

Looking REAL good! Has the hole already been drilled for your spinner?

Yes, it is already drilled. You can see it just to the left of the Q-bert picture. The joysticks are just sitting in there for show. I didn't want to install them or the spinner until I finished the wire work. It will be easy to turn up side down and work on at my table without them in.
Thanks for the compliments. Can't wait to finish it.
Spyridon:
I'm working on the wireing and have a question. Which buttons are typically setup as button #1, button #2, and button #3? The ones on the top row or the bottom row?
Spyridon:
Never mind. I figured it out once I installed the iPac configuration software. They used the top row as buttons 1-2-3 and second row as 4-5-6. Makes sense, so that's the route I will go.
Finished most of the wire work last night and plugged it in. It works!!!!!! Now I need to unplug it and forget about it until I finish up the remaining details.
