Title: Converted single player bartop with spinner into 2 player
Post by: equlizer on February 20, 2017, 02:16:47 am

I wanted to sell the bartop i have now but it was custom to what i wanted it to be.  It had 2 sticks, 6 buttons and a blackhawk spinner.  The only thing i could not hide was where the 2nd joystick was (unless one of you has an idea i used a button plug)

I was able to use the spinner hole as a button hole.

Front brackets are removed and joystick moved over and buttons installed.

I may have to use some wood filler where the brackets were to hide the holes better.  Is there another way to plug that hole other than cutting new plexi?

The button plug works just fine. Why overthink it?
