| What did the real arcade units use for opening a control panel? |

Nah. You'd need a key to get in there through the coin door or a locked panel on the back of the cabinet. I use these to hold down the top on my cocktail table but I've got to stick my arm in the coin door (which is locked) in order to access them... |

what do you think would be more hassle and/or cause more damage after repeated opening- these latches, or unscrewing/screwing everytime you want to make a change? |

Oh I just read the discription of these at groovygamegear to clarify I'm referring to just the top panel of the control panel box itself... like for it to flip open. I don't mean securing the entire cp box to the cabinet, I'd bolt that down for sure. |

You either went in through the coin door and reached up through a hole in the bottom of the CP box, or the back of the CP box to unlatch so the clamps weren't visible. |

I have a Dynamo Showcase 33 cabinet that has a hole in the bottom of the CP and a hole in the top of the base that the CP sits upon. You unlock the coin door, open it, then reach through to release a catch that keeps the CP securely closed. |
