Title: Bartop for 2 players, 60cm lenght ?
Post by: dexter87 on April 19, 2013, 09:34:33 pm

Sorry for my English (i use Google), I have only one question: a bartop with a buttons plank of 60cm is enough for two adult players or do you end with a shoulder fight ? My greatest doubt whether to do a regular cab or a bartop depends on it (and not just, the cost of wood is high here, 30 euro for poplar plywood 200x60x15 :/).

Thanks !

That is 23.6 inches and is usually enough for 2 players as long as they like each other.  Many arcade cabs are about 24 inches in width.

Thanks for reply  ;) I have a 19'' for this use, I thought of doing a frame, but my biggest concern is space for 2 player to play comfortably..

My bartop is control panel is 50cm wide. It is wide enough for 2 players, with shoulders touching. Hope that helps.
