Does anyone here know of any? A place where I could submit a diagram and get my control panel cut precisely.

Any help appreciated.

I know thatitalian got some prices for having his cab CNC cut in the UK. I searched his PA but couldn't find any info. I'll point him in the direction of this thread to see if he can help out.

No worries, I sent him a PM and asked him to post any info so I'm sure he will pop by soon

Hello,

this is the guy I spoke to:

Mark Hepworth
Fibrecomp
Unit 15 Farrington Court
Burnley
Lancashire
BB11 5SS
01282 420221
www.fibrecomp.co.uk

He quoted a fair price at £160+VAT for a full cab cutout + material supplied. Not sure how much it will be for just the CP.

Hope this helps!

Haha, with a little investigation last night I found that guy too!

Thanks for the info thatitalian.

Unfortunately the guy had come back to me saying that they only do big jobs etc...

[Franco B]

What exactly is it you are after? I may be able to make it for you. I have some CNC milled templates that I use to template route CPs and button bezels etc and I can make anything fairly accurately.

Really??? Interesting.....

[gizmo1990]

Yeah, Mark got back to me and just said they only do big orders. I've replied saying I'd be prepared to pay a little extra but I've heard nothing back so far...

Franco b, oh man if you could I'd definitely be interested! Basically I've got a arcadedepot cocktail cab but its control panel doesnt work with the buttons and joysticks I've got so I need a new one made. I can't even start the cab till I've got the panel sorted!

Quickly put, I need a panel made up in 18mm plywood. It’s dimensions are roughly 54cm x 10cm and would require a number of holes drilled. I'd also need two section routed out underneath the buttons but I could possibly get that done by a friend.

If something like that sounds feasible for you please pm me and we can discuss getting you all the dimensions and costs.

[Franco B]

Shouldn't be a problem at all

I'll shoot you a PM.

[Franco B]

All done.

Out with the old CP:





In with the new CP custom made to mount Sanwa JLWs and OBSN-30 buttons.
