Any more thoughts on the mounting of the CP? :cheers:

....errrr, a few. And they all involve either a sawzall or a handsaw >:D
I made a quick sketch using my super-duper paint skills to illustrate my devious plans:
The red area shows where I'd cut away to provide support for the CP box. To cover the resulting gap between the back of the CP and the monitor bezel/glass I will use some thick foam board, cut at an angle and painted black to match the rest of the cab, as shown by the thick light grey line.
... and I fully expect a flood of pitchfork-wielding villagers to come after me for posting this, but I'll take my chances :D

The cab you had was in no better shape than mine so I don't think that you will run into much pushback. I think that is going to be one of your best shots at mounting the CP as you are getting it in one piece. correct?
I am going to try to use the two latches as well as the hinge area again but it's all a pipe dream at this time. :cheers:
TelcoLou:
Yes, 1 piece. Here's a pic from arcadesrfun's site (they no longer sell just the blanks, but the picture is for reference):
... basically a box, with the top hinged at the front.
Oh, and the wait is the worst part ... need to get my tax refund before I have any further "Mame Cabinet" monies to play with :D

I guess you COULD measure out the dimensions and cut slots for the 'box' to slide in place and anchor it there on the original spots.... Just a thought.
I am not sure what would be in the way there but slots somewhere around!?
