Title: Does anyone have a Tron? Looking for some CP measurements
Post by: goldenageofarcade on January 17, 2011, 02:45:01 pm: Hi,

I am building a dedicated Tron panel for my MAME, and I'd like to know the size of the original Tron control panel, as well as the distance between the joystick and the spinner. I really want to mount my controls as accurately as possible to the placement of original panel.

Does anyone have a Tron they could measure for me?

Thanks very much,
Ryan

Thanks,
Ryan

I've got a spare Tron CP (at least I think I do), so will pull it out and put together some measurements later this afternoon.

Did you ever finish your Tron restore?

Post by: goldenageofarcade on January 19, 2011, 01:19:02 am: The PDF is great, thanks! Unfortunately the scale seems a bit off, I printed it and the holes for the buttons are much bigger than buttons actually are, so it looks like I'll still need the actual width of a CP so I can workup the exact relative distances for the controls. Anyone with a Tron able to give me that measurement?

Thanks very much,
Ryan

Post by: CheffoJeffo on January 19, 2011, 07:11:08 am: 23" x 6 5/8"

Spinner hole centre is 7" from the left edge and centred on the vertical.

Joystick hold centre is 7" from the right edge and centred on the vertical.

Sorry to bump this, but can anyone with a DoT cab tell me if these measurements are the same?
