Biggest and widest Control Panel
jefftse:
Hey guys, I would like to know who has the biggest and widest control panel here. I was thinking to do 48" wide since arcademarqee.com only sell the control panel overlay up to 49". I want to make sure 4 player on the game are all comfortable.
Thanks
Jeff

4-player games are never comfortable unless you just buy 4 Leather Recliners and give each one it's own control panel. On a standard arcade cab, either there's cramping or people are far enough from each other that two people can't see the screen properly.
If you're going 48" you may want to wire intercoms into the CP so players can talk to each other during the game. ;D

That will always be a contender.
But I hate large CP's, even if they are four player. Seems to me that many of us don't have the space to spread out and enjoy one. If you go with a large CP you might think about having a good sized monitor, at least 25". And unless you integrate it into your cabinet and give it natural lines it may be overkill to go too big. Yeah, it works, but doesn't lalways look right, IMHO.
Now that being said, I like the Gauntlet CP. If you can keep it within those specs you'll have a nice machine.

I think leapinlew had a humongous CP sketched out here a while ago. :laugh2:
Also, I never noticed those coins glued to the PacMatt CP (right above the joysticks). LOL
