Control Panel Connection

I think Radio Shack might carry something with crimpable pins for the D-sub plugs. Mouser or Digi-key will have them but you will have to do a little research since they sell the pins and plugs seperately. The spec sheet or the plug will tell you the part number for the pins.

My local Radioshack also carries the solder in kind.

I have used cables from PC recycling places and just cut them in the middle to use both ends. If you buy parallel extension cables they work great. The used computer place around here sells all their misc cables for $1. They also have MB connectors that go from the MB to a card slot, which is a good way to get panel mount connectors.

If you're using an PS2 encoder and/or optical encoder why not just put the encoder(s) inside the CP box, then you only have to disconnect the keyboard/mouse PS2 cables to the PC to detach the CP box.

I used a disconnect for the 5v line, 12v line, ground, coin 1, coin 2 etc. Of course these are optional depending on if one uses lights, coin door, etc.
