GaryMcT's 2-player generic control panel layout

<< < (13/70) > >>

Ginsu Victim:
Just make sure to wear a mask and goggles. MDF is very fine and gets EVERYWHERE.

I'm quite the novice when it comes to woodwork, but drilling holes is pretty simple. Laying out and drilling a control panel is pretty easy.

Bump on the newby question since we started talking about other stuff. :)

Excellent!  That's exactly what I'm looking for. :)  Thanks!

He shits on Happ a bit too much, but there's a lot of good stuff to help you get started.

I haven't decided which type of buttons to use yet.  I have a bunch of NOS short leaf-switches on the way (got some for my Asteroids Deluxe machine, Defender machine, and then some!)  I have some Happ ones with Micro-Leafs in them to try out.  If I don't like those, I'll likely go with the NOS ones. :)
