Title: Centipede Cabinet (Question for folks who have one)
Post by: godmode on September 22, 2013, 11:31:09 pm

I'm a complete noob to wood working and I want to give it a shot creating a custom Control Panel for my Centipede machine.

I was hoping there would be some members here that could share their Control Panel Dimensions. I guess I'm looking to copy an already created control panel.

I've done a couple googles and landed on this http://www.vesperworks.com/mame/pictures/IMG_2521.html (http://www.vesperworks.com/mame/pictures/IMG_2521.html) , it's basically what I'm looking for but I would add another button to the Player 2 setup.

Worst case scenario I'll pm someone on a price quote to build me one ;) If I fail miserably making one.

Thanks all. Some ridiculously talented people here!

Centipedes naturally have metal panels. I have one with a Time Killers overlay and drilled for that layout if you are interested. No space for a trackball though.

I have never seen an oversized control panel bolted onto a Centipede cabinet that actually looked good.

Ditto.
