BillyJack:
I built my control panel to 30 inches.  There's good room for two reasonably big guys, and on my CP there would be room for a joystick in the upper middle.

Sorry no pix yet.

don't despair hulkster,

Just keep saying your prayers, and taking your vitamins...

Alan's suggestions are very valid.  I'm waiting for your geocities account to have it's hourly quota let up again to get another look EDIT 1: (btw I offer low cost web hosting FWIW -- as does planet jay... also check out the free web host that sirpoonga uses.  Check your ISP as they often give you free webspace with your internet account)

(do you have a shot of the cabinet with the control panel removed?  I'd like to see the existing brackets/structure the existing control panel connects on to)

I'm sure if you picked up some carriagebolts, washers, nuts, L brackets of various sizes a 2x4 or 1x4 or 1x1 for bracing ... and maybe a piano hinge... you could come up with a strong (and hopefully removable) replacement control panel.

yeah i do have some pics actually, but they wont show up anyway on geocities cuz its being gay.  whats the deal with that anyway?  is there another place where i can post my pics without it being retarded?

thanks for the advice on the cp billyjack, i think ill go with a 30" cp. i just found some stirafoam (sp?) here at the house, thats 30" long and 20" wide, so ill use that as a mock cp to draw out my stuff!  meanwhile, when i build my cp this weekend im going to go get some L-brackets (thanks alan) and ill get some 2x4's and just rig the whole thing up.  right now im going to start measuring my mock up though, and also try to find a web hosting place thats FREE :)  dont have a whole loto f money
