Title: Space Duel repro or original control panel
Post by: mybrainhurtz on December 12, 2007, 03:06:19 pm

Hey guys, I am going to be getting a Space Duel cabinet this weekend for a MAME Project. The cabinet has no guts, marquee, or control panel. I want to keep the original look of the cabinet and would like to have a metal control panel that is nicely curved like the original.

I don't have any metalworking tools at my disposal and was looking for someone who could bend a piece of sheet metal in the shape of the original for me. If thats not the case, does anyone have an old control panel that would fit or know of control panels that I can keep an eye out for that would fit?

Thanks Guys!

If you go to RGVAC it probably won't be hard to find an old beaten Space Duel panel.  Few cabs have been parted out more than Space Duel.

Thanks! I will check it out! I am new to this hobby/obsession so I don't know all of the usual venues for looking for parts yet! :)

Oh and I just got some other info... apparently Space Duel, Gravitar, Black Widow, and Quantum all used the same control panel... so if anyone has one... drop me a line :)
