Can I connect the PC Power button to a normal Arcade Button (microswitch) to boot the PC up? (I want to locate it on the back of the cab, but easy to locate and turn on).
I was told PC Power button is a momentary switch, is that the same thing as the common cab button?

Yes.  I wired the power button from my computer to a mini button hidden underneath one of the control panels on my cocktail cabinet.  I plan on doing something similar on my current cab but I haven't worked out the details yet.

MPTech:
I just ran across a similar post in another topic that said that the momentary button has 2 clicks.  Can I substitue a microswitch for a momentary button?

You sure can.

i don't have any administrative buttons, only the buttons you find on the regular arcades. As for mouse buttons i placed them on the left of the pinball buttons. Do not have too many buttons.

MPTech:
There seems to be 2 camps:
Authentic Arcades (or held close to that thought):  none / minimal / hidden Admin buttons
Dedicated MAME: Admin buttons allowed on CP

good taste is always appreciated
