Title: Free Aircraft carrier Control panel (Flynn's)
Post by: Arroyo on July 24, 2020, 01:12:39 pm
I previously built the top of this control panel and will not be using it.  Figured I would offer it up to anyone that would want it for free (just pay for shipping).  It's 3 layers, 1/2" wood designed for using the universal mounting plates (large ones) from Paradise Arcade, 1/4" to cover the routing insets, and 1/16" Polycarbonate on top.  You can use it, or use it as a template as well.  If interested let me know:

P3 and P4 joysticks aren't angled, therefore there is nothing wrong with that CP.

China is looking to field a couple of aircraft carriers. You could try the Chinese government.

Although they aren't going nuclear. That CP is probably too big for them.

Bump this one.  People ask all the time for a CAD of this, so I figured someone could use it and save the time.

Yup.  Also I think they got rid those heavy transports when they scrapped the space shuttle program so it might be hard to get it shipped in a timely fashion.   :afro:

The crawlers are still operational. They are being upgraded to handle the SLS, if it ever gets built.

They weigh six million pounds each. Between the two of them they might be able to handle that CP.

You will have to be patient. Their top speed is less than 1 mph.

SpaceX must have something to transport their Starship heavy lift rocket once it is ready for duty.

It will be the largest rocket ever built. Almost as big as that CP.

Like most great monoliths it's origins and use have been lost to history.  Perhaps one day with funding and heavy machinery archaeologists can excavate around it's massive footprint and find answers.

I fear it is already too late.  I’ve heard whispers of people worshiping this great monument and the beginnings of a religion are forming as we speak.  Sacred ground dare not be disturbed.

I'm thinking, split the three layers.  Don't stack them, mount them side by side.  I'm tired of seeing all these measly four player panels, I'm waiting for somebody to really take it to the next level with a twelve player, 105 button triple-Jarrett setup.

You're gonna need that width for the 85" LCD mounted in landscape orientation anyway.   ;D

I think if the panel is slimmed down by about 1/2 making it just 2 players it may just about squeeze on there :)

Please quit posting pics of that thing.  Every time I look I see more details that raise more questions.  Like why are there three monitors and four sets of speakers?  Why not either two or six?  Why are said speakers centered on the cabinet and not in relation to the monitors?  Why are there two sets of wii sensor bars?  That'd only be used on either the wii or wii u and wouldn't you play those both on the same screen?  If the two monitors on the right are the ones that are the ones that use the sensor bars then why is one of the zappers hung on the far left? Why is there one vertical round tube crt, one lcd and one flat tube horizontal crt?  I mean I guess that covers all bases.

And not knowing which one to hit because there 8 unlabeled buttons.

I just don't understand  the mindset here.... it's like "Well I could build three cabinets for my needs or I could glob them all into one gigantic monstrosity and save maybe 200 bucks in parts. "
