**FINISHED** Re-Vamping my Control Panel, any advice on my concept designs?...

Chris:
From my own experience: You WILL catch your fingers on that spinner knob playing Golden Tee.

FrizzleFried:
One was a HAPP Super the other a Competition.  But they have both been replaced by two blue comps.

Countersink Carriage VS Wood Screw from Bottom:

Use the countersink method.  Trust me.  We've tried every possible method for making the bolts disappear and screwing from the bottom is the *worst* option.  Countersinking some bolts is a 1000x more secure.  You could also go with T-nuts.

BamBam:
I have a similar setup and I use the trackball with my right hand.  When playing golf, my hand hits the player two joystick.

Managed to get it almost complete over the weekend, functional at least:

The old CP:

WARNING: Disclaimer, what you are about to see are the hideous remains of the worst wiring job I have ever done, prepare yourself!:


The new shell carved out and ready for the hardware:


Joystick Bases, Buttons, Trackball & Spinner Installed:


I-Pac 4 & Druin Board Mounted:


Wiring Installed (Red=1P, Green=2P, White=Admin, Coin, Start):


HAPPs Rotary's Installed and Connected to the Druin Board:


Ground Wiring Installed (Black):


VOILA-ish:


Still have the asthetics to do (Painting, Overlay should arrive soon).

I tried her out, and I must say, everything works great! The spinner doesn't get in the way of my Golden Tee Madman-like trackball use. And since I mounted the spinner directly above the trackball, I play some driving games with one hand on the spinner (Steering) and the other on the trackball underneath (Analog Gas Pedal) it seems to work rather well.
