New Cabinet Build - CandyCab FOBT conversion
CandyCabs:
Well that is the issue with CandyCabs - you don't have the depth of control panel to play with. I wanted to get two joysticks, 6 buttons per player plus the trackball and P1 & P2 start all on the same panel. The end result does work actually, and the trackball works fine where it is. The main limiting factor with regards to the position of the trackball was clearance under the panel. I only have 3mm to play with due to the locking mechanism on the CandyCab.
CandyCabs:
I wanted to give people an idea of what I started with - so here's a picture of the FOBT cabs before I've done any work on them. I'm lucky that the plastic bodywork was pretty good on most of them - nothing that a little car body filler and a lot of sanding can't fix.

Wow that's a lot of cabs! Are those made with the same molds as the arcade candy cabs?

Please make a vertical also. They looks perfect for Mame. Are you gonna use LCD or CRT ?

Well, that is the issue with those betting machines. Some Candy's have plenty of room for a trackball

Unless you are playing Golden Tee :P :)
I still don't understand the angle of the button layout.

Nope, they are betting machines converted into Mame cabs.

It won't be able to rotate the monitor in those due to the angle of the screen in relation to the bezel. If you rotated it the screen would be pointing to the left or the right.
