Title: Space Zap Button Size
Post by: kooky on June 30, 2020, 10:57:43 am

Hi team - does anyone know the button size (in MM or IN) for Space Zap?  I'd like to build a cabaret-style machine but I'm curious how big the buttons are.  I've never seen one in real life but the game is a lot of fun through emulation.  It looks like I can easily get bigger buttons in 60mm and 100mm sizes.

OK I don't know the answer for sure, but I found details for full size machine, 26.5 wide, took off 1.5 for panels and so got 25" for width of control panel,  grabbed straight on image of control panel, scaled to 100DPI, measured across control panel and get 25"  measure across buttons and get 46mm :)

So something like these should work for you and not be a million miles away from original size.
