I can get replacement control panels here for both: http://www.arcadeshop.com/cabinets/cabinets.htm --- End quote --- I didn't know that Steve stocks Defender panels (and even after checking don't see any). --- End quote --- you are right. Doesn't look like he has defender layout control panels, but he does sell early Williams-style machines. If he sells tha control panels separately, especially blanks, that would work for me |

Turns out that making a Defender control panel is far easier than I had imagined. :) |
