Yeah, that's the reason the doors need to open (to allow it to spin.)
The top is fine actually.
I have wiggle room by cheating and using the LCD's built in size/positioning settings to tweak the display if need be, but so far it doesn't need it. I'm totally happy with it thus far, I just need to create the control panel, etc.
Ritalin:
I forgot to include pics of the LCD in the horizontal format.
Here are some added pics:
1. LCD rotated in the horizontal format for horizontal games
2 & 3. Overhead shot of the slot cutout for the LCD rotation (I'll be adding black felt over this hole with a slit cut in the felt.
4. A Straight on pic of the LCD in the vertical mode.
NOTE: I hope purists won't be mad, but even though I'm going with a galaga theme for this, I will be painting it in Galaxian colors. That means black interior with white side panels and alien green t-molding for the sides. (Sides will actually be 100% artwork with white background)
I just really like the Galaxian color scheme, but I'll be sticking with all Galaga artwork for marquee, side panels, CPO, etc. Again, sorry purists, but I figure I've already created a rotating display with open doors, so purity was gone long ago. ;D
