is having access to the inside of my control panel pedestal, really necessary?
Stingray:
Use panel clamps. They'll hold it down securely and it's just a matter of reaching up through the coin door to flip them open if you need to remove the CP for any reason.

panel clamps, hmm, does that require any kind of crazy installation? i'm guessing not, but would you happen to have a pic or something i could look at? and im not just talking about the actual clamp, but maybe a pic of the clamps on a cp?
dmsuchy:
I would just screw the back panel in and recess the screws for a clean look and if need be it won't take longer than a couple of seconds to zip the panel off using a cordless screwdriver. As for the top of your panel, why don't you use magnetic catch plates? Im using a couple myself for my keyboard door. They will hold your panel firmly and keep it perfectly flat, and if you need access to the insides all you have to do is "pop" the panel off.

As a matter of fact:
The clamp just screws to the inside of the cab. The tab they clamp to attaches to the bottom of the CP (welded in my case, but they can be screwed to the bottom of a wood CP). Simple, but very effective.

wow, very nice. thanks for the pics. i was trying to find a good way to not have to use a piano hinge, and now i have one! plus if i want to do swappable panels in the future (which i will) then this will be perfect! so i just buy generic panel clamps? is that their official name or are they called something else when i go to home depot?
