Title: Control panels?
Post by: XainDSleena on October 12, 2010, 01:07:35 pm

Hello all,

I did a search and didn't really find what I was looking for.

Are there metal control panel templates for sale anywhere?

I bought an old centuri cabinet that had final fight in it for $50.  All works good but I want to add more buttons.

Unfortunately the control panel is actually metal with pre drilled holes and the layout doesn't allow me to put 3 buttons side by side, it has the 3 buttons as a triangle.

So I was thinking I could just replace it with a template with the layout I want, but didn't want to have to fabricate a panel.

Anyone know where one could acquire such a thing?

Ebay only seems to have the actual control panels ripped from cabinets.

Thanks for any insight.

Best I have is drill new holes and fill old holes.

3 buttons in triangle formation is what you want though. That was the common layout for a lot of games that had 1. Action + 2. Jump + 3. Special
