This might be a strange request, but I'm trying to find those metal corners found on pinball machines. Preferably, just the corners. I want to put them on the CP I'm working on to give it a real pinball feel.
Thanks!

Do you mean the lockdown bar?
-
I actually thought about getting that, too, but I think my CP may end up being slightly wider than a true pinball table. But, I'm talking about the metal corners where you rest your hands (kind of the caps for the lockdown bar).
Now that I think about it, I think it'd be good to get the lockdown bar and the corners, if possible.

Have you seen this...

Yes, that thing is awesome. It's kind of what I'm going for, but I'm putting together a full 2p fighter setup with a trackball, 2 spinners, and a dedicated 4-way.
/EDIT: Actually, yeah, that's exactly what I want. A lockdown bar, and the metal on the sides as well, just like in that example.

Aha! Thank you for that info, but I think $42+ shipping is a bit much for a simple aesthetic touch. I found some guys to sell me lockdown bars for $30 w/ shipping, so I'll see if they can toss in some siderails.
-
I didn't think he meant siderails because they don't actually cover the corner. Oh well.
-
I was actually considering getting siderails in addition, but now I think I just want the lockdown bar. I've found some suppliers of it for a good enough price, so I'm going to go for it. Thanks for the help guys.

Well, I'm using an old one and chopping it up. I'm just using the corners.
