Title: Question to all UA2 Builders.
Post by: the3eyedblindman on August 24, 2004, 08:59:35 pm: I am planning my control panel soon, it will be a 4 player on an ultimate arcade 2 cab. What I need to know is, from the outside edges of the cabinet bottom (UA2) how far from the outside edges does the control panel stick out each way, I am not looking for a specific answer, as all are alittle different, Im just looking for a rough estimate to start with. The width of the cabinet is 28 and 1/2 inches, what is a good estimate in inches on how far to make the control panel stick out on each side?

I'll measure it tonight.

I'm going to be rebuilding mine. 27" screen that close is too much. I'm going to build it further out, and widen it quite a bit. I don't like the angle of players 3 and 4, hard to play total carnage, smash tv, other two joystick games.
