Title: A few Minor updates to my cab...
Post by: tma on January 21, 2005, 02:00:39 pm

Hi,
Just thought I'd post a few (minor) updates to my cab:
New Happs 4-way (mspacman/galaga) joystick.
I routed my CP (which is birch ply) and left about 1/4" for the 4-way stick.
Reinforced it with fiberglass and Epoxy.

Did you put t-nuts in the wood to bolt the 4-way up into the CP or did you do something else?

Yeah, the joysticks are all bolted through using stainless steel flathead bolts and lock nuts.
Trackball has the Happs locking carriage bolts.
