No production 4 player machine ever had joysticks slanted like that.

Since you haven't mentionned what type of sticks you're putting in, it is tough to judge ... are you going to be playing any 2-player, 2-stick games (like Karate Champ) ? That would be tough with angled sticks (might be tough with the offests anyway).

Cheers.

I will be using four Competition 8-Ways and an Ultimate 4-Way. 

Never thought about 2-player, 2-stick games...  Hmmm...

Either go with the way that all "production 4 player machine"s were made (all joysticks pointing the same direction... up) OR have the millsworks company rout out a circular area into the bottom of your CP and you can spin 'em any which way you want. :)

Interesting thought on them routing out a circle.  That would make it more versitile, and then I could figure that out later...

I still am thinking about those 2-player, 2-stick games.  Would perpendicular to the screen be the only way to go for those games?

unclet:
I love Karate Champ and could not play them if my 4-player control panel had slanted 3rd and 4th player sticks.

PS:  I also play Robotron and SmashTV

Sinner:
I'm thinking of something like this for myself...it will allow me to play 2player,2stick games...
It's 48"x18", and I have to figure out how I'm going to setup the pinball buttons...either a cut-out on top of the CP, or build the box so that it can accommodate the buttons...
I really think multiple CPs is the way to go, but if like me you have space and money constraints, then 1 full 4 player is what I opted for...
