My 4-player control panel has a piano hinge on the front to the control panel top opens towards the player. The sheer weight of the control panel top keeps it from moving up. Although, no one really pulls "up" when playing games so the idea that the control panel if going to lift up while playing is not really a concern. Here is a good site which I used when building my standup arcade cabinet: http://home.austin.rr.com/shumate/unicade/ |

Earth magnets, cupboard catches, velcro... all great ideas. I wouldn't be as concerned if it were a full size cab, but with it being so mobile, I dont want undue wear + tear on the PC top and hinges. And UncleT, thanks for the link. I was going to use those metal "L brackets" to hold my CP sides together, but seeing how you did the screws countersunk from the outside into the wooden filler on the inside, it looks MUCH easier + cleaner. I was also somewhat concerned with how t-molding would work with screws drilled directly in the slot, but that problem will become non existant as well. A wealth of info in those pics. Thanks! |
