80's classics. Control panel dimensions.
« on: December 18, 2004, 08:53:25 pm »
Just been to the shops and returned with enough cardboard to model a full size 1957 Chev. Today I am going to start cutting up cardboard, and hopefully have a firm control panel model of what I plan to build.

As discussed elsewhere, I plan on having a Supercade style CP layout with the top level having a large removable section which can interchange dedicated control panels. I would like these panels to look as authentic to the original 80

Yes, most classic control panels are 23"-24" wide and 4" - 8" deep.

Pretty much all your Atari, Sega, Midway, Williams, Cinematronics, and Centuri cabinets fell in that little window. For bronze age cabinets add 4-6" of width (black and white games).

Are you serious or having a go?  ??? I just tried again and after clicking Atari Football got the same results, sent straight back to the main menu. Something is wrong somewhere.............


paigeoliver to the rescue! Pretty sure I can cover those maximum sizes in my design. (With exception to the black&whites which are only for shock value!)

Thanks for the help.
