erictrumpet:
Awesome cab!
I love the artwork - please try to touch up the less-good side, rather than cover it or change it. It looks absolutely awesome.
The nice thing about a huge cab is that is doesn't look so weirdly disproportionate with a gigantic frankenpanel stuffed with controls. A friend of mine built a mame cab out of a Mechanized Attack (a humongous two-player gun-game cabinet originally with mirrored-monitor setup) and the massive CP populated with 4 joysticks, trackball, spinners, flightstick etc looks good with the large proportions of the cab.
Definitely keep the artwork on your cab as intact as possible!!!!!!

TOK:
I never saw one, but amazingly knew what it was because a dude in Gameroom Magazine just wrote an article about it. I was amazed that an EM game was still being produced in 84. Thats got really cool sideart.
Stobe:
Rather than cutting the sides down, you could always remove the existing CP "top" and recess a new CP within the width of the existing sides.
(it makes sense in my head at least) :)

Arcadiac:
That does make sense except that the existing cp is level and flat.....meaning that if I lower the cp I would have to cut into the front panel art. This is looking a bit more difficult than I expected, the compromise between preserving the art and practical usability. Even removing a couple of inches from the bottom would destroy some of the art! :dizzy:
ARCADIAC!
Stobe:
I might be looking at it wrong (hard to tell without being there). If you lowered just the front part of the CP, it looks like it might lower an inch or two. Angling it might be enough to make it more ergonomic.?
