GaryMcT's 2-player generic control panel layout
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.

Is there an equivalent for old-school long and short leaf-switch buttons and/or happ-style buttons? I'm trying to get prepared for my controls showing up. :)

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. :)
