I understand that! That is so "me".  Thanks, I would have "tested" it as soon as possible.     I will do my best to resist all urges for pre-completion tests.

And as for the fitting through the door-  I learned all about that buying 2 cabinets that didn't fit through the door to my basement.  So my game room, has a "wing" in the garage...  (I may joke about it, but in all honesty, it really pissed me the &$%# off!)

I wish I would've used modular control panel, and rotating monitor on my fist cab.

But above all, after I built my 1st cab I wished I would have made it a 2 player.

Use a big screen. No smaller than 21" viewable.

Wear ear plugs and safety glasses whenever you are cutting.

My 2 cents,
Craig

Jabba:
I based my design off the Lusid plans because I was excited to get started and they were very clearly laid out. I feel the cabinet is too tall for my personal taste. For my next cabinet, I will reproduce a classic machine that I used to play in the 80's. Something like Marble Madness, Tempest, Centipede, Joust, Defender, etc.

Jakobud has great plans.

Chris:
Look carefully at the footprint of that huge 3" trackball.  I ended up having to build a whole new panel to accomodate it.

21" monitors are deep.  Make sure you have enough space behind it.

never loan out items for documentation or for machining unless you are confortable with the fact that you may never see them again.
