Thanks for the info! Pity about the power on problem though.

I ran into a little issue with the lockdown bar height. As you can see in the pics, after I added the foam strip that the playfield glass rests on, and after attaching the felt onto the side rails that touch the glass (I have brown ones here, replacing with black when it comes in) - Well, that raised the height about 5/8" over what it was initially. (Look at the gap under the piece of the lockdown bar). So, I just put a 3/4" thick strip onto the front piece to make up for that.
I just wanted to point that out in case others might need to account for that earlier in the build than I did! haha
I also changed the case for my PC. I'm using an acrylic "test station" case, which works perfectly for this type of project. It's easy to get to parts, is low weight and has a small footprint. Costs around $59 if you catch it on sale. Here's a link:

Now, on with the wiring.... :)

d'oh im going to have that issue with my lockdown bar as well, I like that tech station case suits the setup.
If you get a chance are you able to take a side shot of the rails also close up.. Im thinking off drilling my rails to add the extra buttons but alittle worried the metal shop will screw it up.

Looking really nice. I want to build one of these so bad!

Here a pic of the hole I cut in the side rail button area. It's a bit bigger, but that was only because it was the only hole cutter handy.
