Author Topic: FS [US-CA] Custom built Desktop or fullsize Control Panels (Read 5871 times)

Timoe · « **on:** September 04, 2006, 03:12:47 pm »

We're back .....Please email us at tmogaming@yahoo.com if you are interested in an order or have any questions

There are many companies that will sell you a pre built arcade control panel or a blank panel that you put your own controls into.

(SlikStik, X-Arcade, etc)

The main differences between these companies and my offer are this:

I do not intend to make a a living off this

I can build you pretty much anything you want

Here's the deal. I like building control panels but I live in a regular sized house and we dont have room for all sorts of control panels that I wont be using. I have finished my cabinet and my desktop controller. I want to build more but I cant keep anymore. I dont know anyone that would even want this stuff and I dont want to throw stuff away.

This is really an offer for someone who doesnt have tools, lives in an apartment or for whatever reason CAN NOT make their own and want something custom. Say you like the slikstik panels but you want your trackball flush mounted or you want your panel covered with plexi or who knows what, I'll work with you to make it any way you want. If you want I can wire it up for you or let you do the control installation. It's up to you.

I do however want to be paid for all supplies, shipping, etc.

I have allready done this once for another BYOAC member that will give me a good reference for quality and customer service.

send us an email at the address above if you are interested and we can set something up.

Wow! I almost wish I wasn't nearly done with my CP now.

dweebs0r · « **Reply #2 on:** September 04, 2006, 10:22:06 pm »

I just wanted to say that Timoe built a control panel for me and I cannot give him a higher rating. The control panel turned out perfect and I was very happy.

It was also pretty inexpensive when comparing to the purchase of a SlikStik CP.

It met my needs as someone who can do all of the computer tweaks required with setting up emulators, etc but I cant woodwork my way out of a paper bag.

Here is the build thread:

Attached is a pic from the thread.

Please note: I have quite a bit of Yellow and Light Blue T-mold that would be used at no extra charge because I'd like to use it and not just store it.

If ya want to send me another color or whatever, thats up to you.

Nice work Timoe!

If I hadn't already promised the kids we were going to build ours, I would definately consider contracting you...You really make my wiring look ugly...that's not very nice.

I sent you a pm just making sure you got it.

PM sent Timoe

Timoe · « **Reply #7 on:** September 07, 2006, 11:40:22 pm »

I will respond to all PMs over the weekend. I have been crazy busy. un-naturally busy recently. I appologize for the inconvenience.

It looks like there are 2-3 potential panels that are going to happen. Already, I am getting backed up. I forgot to make a disclaimer.

I am not very fast

Each control panel will take me from 3 to 8 weeks to complete which means it might be 3 months before the last guy gets his panel.

I have not taken any money or parts yet so, the first deal made over the weekend or next week will be the first panel delivered.

Timoe · « **Reply #8 on:** September 10, 2006, 10:53:46 am »

All PMs have been responded to and it looks like we have 2 maybe 3 panels currently in the works. The order will be determined by who sends CA$H first of course. So any new requests can expect to wait about 2 months before they get started. (unless you send CA$H, faster than these other guys)

oooop, you're right. I rec'd so much all at once, it became difficult to sort through. I am getting it organized though.

Just what I need. Can you do metal control panels? I have an snk stick that needs to go into a panel and I don't have a way to make a metal one. Can you help out?

I've never done metal and I wouldn't want to practice on someone else's panel. I will buy that SNK stick off ya though if you cant find a panel for it.

Thanks man, I'd really like to keep them for some rotary action.... Do you think you can do it with wood and a mounting plate?

Hi Timoe. What's your status? Are you still offering your services? Or would I be better off going with SlickStick? Does SliKStick do custom designed CPs?

Timoe · « **Reply #18 on:** October 28, 2006, 07:30:25 pm »

Check out http://www.slikstik.com/

They have recently come up with some great stuff including custom overlays. They are indeed very slick. I want to buy a slikstik personally.

The only thing that I do not like is the trackball mounting plate. It is not recessed. Otherwise they offer high quality at a competitive price.

I think I AM actually available right now. A few people have expressed interest but then have kinda stopped. Unless I receive a retainer of some sort, I'm all clear.

stephenp1983 · « **Reply #19 on:** October 28, 2006, 08:50:31 pm »

I just want to say Tim does some great work, and he was very patient and helpful when building mine. If he's free I would highly recommend him

I just want to go on record and publicly say that after dealing with Timoe, he is one of the coolest, most stand up guys I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. His control panels are nothing short of impressive! If you are looking for a quality arcade panel with exceptional quality and from someone you can trust, look no further than Timoe.

Timoe · « **Reply #27 on:** May 12, 2007, 08:27:04 pm »

These two are just about ready to go to their new homes. You want them to go to their home, don't you?

Mr.Malenko · « **Reply #28 on:** May 15, 2007, 01:03:49 pm »

You still doing these?

you just do the panels or do you hack a control pad or something in there as well?

I have a Pengo Cab Im converting to MAME (trust me, it wasnt worth saving and restoring to Pengo)
I had a HotRod on there but it finally broke after a long run (the timing crystal broke off the PCB) and I had a Xarcade but when I moved back home from Texas it didnt survive the shipping via UPS.

If your game, I know exactly what I want and I have the cheddar to pay for it. Basically a HotRod with some art and plexi maybe a spinner too, dunno how much you can squeeze into 25" of space

Timoe · « **Reply #29 on:** May 15, 2007, 02:50:41 pm »

Yes I am still doing these. Back with a vengeance actually. We are doing anything and everything as long is it is strictly joysticks, trackball, buttons, spinners, etc.

I can hack just about any console gamepad.

I will PM you for more info and such
