Some of you may remeber my first attempt at making a control panel:

I was not satisfied with the way it turned out (even though it was functional) so I decided to try again. I redesigned the button layout to better fit my hand, and I also did the wiring differently.
Zip ties, terminal strips, and quick disconnects are the greatest inventions ever! ;D

The finished product. just tested it, works like a charm... :)
-
I plan on having some artwork printed eventually and then I'll probably cover the controller with plexi.
Anyone have one of these tools? They make wirestripping EASY!!!
-
Nice clean work. I Like it!

thanks :)

I've never used one of those fancy wire-stripping tools and that's because I can't justify spending that much money on a tool when I can get something just as functional for $3.
I'd rather take the $35 I saved and invest in more arcade $#!T.
~edit: BTW, you're CP looks good.

I paid like $10 for mine. Well worth it if you strip a lot of wire.

I've got one that doesn't look anything like that one, but it does the same thing. I think I paid about $10 for it and it's got to be one of the handiest tools I own.

some one gave it to me as a gift... I love it. :D

Between the slot car track and two mame cabs I have used mine a LOT!!!! Mine was free from my father in law. He saved a couple of them when they were being thrown out because the rubber handles had split. He wrapped them with electrical tape and they work perfectly.
