Title: Metal Control Panel Blanks
Post by: SteveJ34 on October 04, 2004, 09:25:45 pm
What resources are there for metal control panel blanks or more  specifically, for  those that would be wider than 9 and 11 inches as found on cocktail models?

Working out parts for bartop classic galaga or ms pacman style cab. I'm considering a metal control panel with overlay in place of building one out of wood.

Searching for resources for control panel blanks and/or perhaps a pattern I could use to discuss with my neighbor (who owns a metal shop) about fabricating a couple for me.

All you need is sheet steel with one bend and just work your design around that. Like this [size=15]^[/size]

I happen tp have the cp I want to redo. I am bringing it to work and having it remade from the original.
a simple bend will do but I want my ends folded so no sharp edges
