Carriage Bolts On your CP: Tacky, or Tasteful?

I think you're taking this way to seriously. It's not a matter of life or death, but when people talking about something it does not mean it is a big deal or it should not be talked about. People talk about things and do not agree most times, no big deal.

So you're saying when a few people talk about something who have different views and post a few times you feel things are out of control?

It just wouldn't be BYOAC if we didn't have a thread where a bunch of highly-opinionated nerds argue and ultimately act like ---Deutsche Frankfurters--- to those that disagree with their righteous arcade-building scripture.  ;)

That's what all the nerds say.

Minwah:

I don't mind either way...both can look good.

I am going to have them showing (for joysticks, not trackball etc) because my machine is based on an Atari design and Atari used carriage bolts.

That said I think they had the dust washers under the CP...which I am not going to do because I think it would be difficult to get a nice enough finish on the CPO around the joystick hole, and it might be prone to lifting (no plexi).  So that is more of a practical decision rather than an aesthetic one.  Mind you as long as the washers aren't massive I don't think this looks bad anyway.
