Cool, well done.
Just a couple of things, that coin door is way to low and DUDE what is up with all those buttons!?

You stole my color scheme!   :)   I actually was going with Y/B/R/G setup so my secondary panel with the dual trackballs can match the Marble Madness setup and still retain the same colors as their respective start buttons.

Yeah, you're going to be doing quite a lot of squat thrusts inserting coins, but if it bothers you that's easily fixed.  And what are those buttons in the back for?

Otherwise, pretty solid.  Congrats on your future little game player.

HMM.. Why is the door to low? I kinda like it there.....

YA buttons........ four are for p starting... the other eight well... who knows? I LIKE BUTTONS  ;D

Actually this is a proto type CP... I will most likely change it after I get the feel for everything... I will also add a spinner and a few more BUTTONS haahahah

Finally got the monitor mounted! Now I just need to wait for the smoked plate glass to do the final bezel adjustments! I can't believe how much work it is to do one of these things!!!!!
I'll just be glad to finish so wife will stop threatening my life!!! :)

BTW Wells Gardner overnighted me a new monitor after I recieved a damaged one (because of the shipping company) Great service!
