Making your own dust washer out of plexiglass?

Xiaou2:
The point was that Arcade put them on top for that reason.

 Weather or not they were designed to be on top or not is
purely OPINION of the designer.   Not 'Where its supposed to be".

 You shove them up your Butt for all I care.

Not sure if you have already bought supplies, but have you considered lexan?  I just finished building a 3 gallon aquarium (MacAquarium actually) and found the lexan was pretty easy to cut (with a utility knife over and over and over) and was not brittle like plexi (doesn't splinter like plexi can).

The point I was making is that all the classic arcade cabinet designers were of the OPINION that the dustwashers should be underneath.
It was arcade ops that put began putting dustwashers on top.

I'm just trying to keep the record straight here, so that the misinformation doesn't spread by being repeated.

And, just to be a butthead, black paint over the sideart was pretty popular with arcade ops at that same time.
Should we all copy that too?
I'm guessing it really kept the dirt from showing on the sides of the cab.

Like a dustwasher is going to keep out liquids. Pfft.

How do you get liquids spilled on your CP anyway?
