A few Minor updates to my cab...
« on: January 21, 2005, 02:00:39 pm »
Hi,
Just thought I'd post a few (minor) updates to my cab:
New Happs 4-way (mspacman/galaga) joystick.
I routed my CP (which is birch ply) and left about 1/4" for the 4-way stick.
Reinforced it with fiberglass and Epoxy.

Did you put t-nuts in the wood to bolt the 4-way up into the CP or did you do something else?

Looks as though all his joys are nut&bolted straight through...
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

Yeah, the joysticks are all bolted through using stainless steel flathead bolts and lock nuts.
Trackball has the Happs locking carriage bolts.
