24" control panel layout is it possible??
« on: August 02, 2008, 06:57:08 pm »
I am finally working on my cab I have had in storage for a year and was wondering, is it possible to fit the 7 button layout (street fighter + neo geo) for 2 players on a 24" control panel. The cab I have is a 2 button 2 player and would like the 7 button if it is possible. The panel I have room for is 24" x 9" and that would drop in without any major modifications. any links to panel layouts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance  :cheers:

Not much real estate for 9".  Thing is to just make sure player I & II arent too far off set from the center of the screen.  Even with 24" to work with...  But that should be okay.  I think the TMNT, NBA Jam cabs are 36" X 16" which are 4 player, so your close to that....

Thing to remember is elbow room.

Thanks.
Elbow room is an issue at times, but nothing too bad. I didn't want to cut the cabinet in any way, since it was originally a Centuri Track and Field (no parts, just the cab and the coin door). I felt bad enough painting it black and moving the monitor shelf upright.

Hey Ginsu, how many arcades do you have, if that is okay to ask?

I own ZERO arcades.

I do, however, own one arcade CABINET.
