I used Bondo, I sealed the bacside with duct tape before applying the bondo.

So it looks like the joysticks were mounted angled/pointed twoards the screen -Not straight/perpindicular to the screen? 

Is that an annoyance when playing, or do people just learn to get by that?

I'm struggling with my own cp build and have tossed out a couple of these angled designs in favor of straight.

Players get use to it :P, And i personally usually build my controllers in a angle just to create more elbow room when you have too big guys playing a 2 player game, bu :d :dunnounnot that is my preference.

If these feel like they will push thru, try JB Weld. It's stronger then bondo. If your going to install plexi on top, I guess it doesn't really matter.

I bought HVAC metal & used tin snips to cut big squares that were JB welded to the underside of the metal CP & then filled the topside with bondo (a day after the bottom cured).

Try that out

BTW, since we are talking about a dispensary, you should know that the best arcade game to play while "enlightened" is Tempest... Dig Dug, Marble Madness, Mr Do and Q-Bert would take honorable mention!   ;D

Tempest is my favorite all time game. I "may" have played it while "enlightened" a few times in the 80's. Lately though, the world is trippy enough for me without any additional help.

Back TO THE DRAWING BOARD, going to redo the CP from scratch and cut and bend a piece of stainless steel sheet metal for the lower front center.
