I'm on vacation so I won't be able to get that measurement until this weekend. Leaving for the beach now  ;D

It may be hard for me to pull it off with a 24 7/16" wide control panel.

Yes I think it may even be an impossibility if you want 6 buttons per player and space in between, plus it will depend if your cp is 'enclosed' (contained at the sides by the cabinet edges like on a cabaret cabinet) or 'open' (like a seperate control panel surface on Mortal Kombat etc.)

Our 2-player uprights are 21" wide and this is how ours fit with the average joystick:

Thanks!

I think I'll end up just doing the streetfighter-style 1 joystick/6 buttons per player layout for one control panel and do another control panel for Smash TV, etc.  I may try to get a 7-th button in each to get the Neo Geo layout on the bottom row.
