Best way to attach removable control panel?
« on: February 02, 2010, 08:05:37 pm »
I have a large 4-player contol panel that I sometimes need to remove and then reattach.  I am currently just using large screws to reattach the cp and have found this to be very cumbersome.  I've been searching through the older posts regarding this but all the links/pictures for solutions are dead.

Does anyone have any solution for good way to attach the panel that will be easy to remove/reattach and will still be sturdy?

Chuck Norris was originally in Street Fighter II, but was removed by Beta Testers because every button caused him to do a roundhouse kick. When asked about this "glitch," Norris replied "What Glitch?"

Use cocktail clips or latches.  http://www.arcadeshop.com/parts.htm.  Do a "find" for latch.

Tension latches are very convenient, once installed.  If you cannot fit such latches to your design, you may be able to utilize giro-bolts as I did.
