Heh. Gotta love that control panel. I've always admired the design of the MK cabs. Nice score! RandyT |

Well, I wanted to rig it up so it ws usable by Christmas and I just got done. It's definitely nothing pretty but at least it works. Whipped up a CP with the parts I've accumulated over time. 2 players, 6 buttons each, coin and start for each player as well as two buttons that will be pause and shift. I already don't like the layout a bit. I want to move the two sets of controls closer together so each person is more in front of the screen. Something to work on later. For the screen I have a Dell LCD. I thought I could just stick a shelf in there and be done with it up the slant of the glass is so severe that the LCD won't tip back far enough on its stand so that didn't work. I ended up putting a flat piece of MDF type board in the opening and then just putting a little shelf on the bottom of that which the LCD rests on. The two small clips just keep it from popping up and falling down. I have some Creative Labs speakers that have 2 small speakers up above and a sub down below. Dell PC inside making it all go. I do have a keyboard and mouse hooked up for now since I don't have everything programmed in its final way. But hopefully it will be a hit for the holidays. |

Uh-oh.... you have it playable now.... you might as well call it done. ::) (just kidding of course) --- Quote from: kelemvor on December 23, 2007, 08:29:06 pm ---I already don't like the layout a bit.

This makes them a little more"ergonomic" when playing for extended periods of time. |
