Title: PacMan cocktail CP questions
Post by: RayB on December 03, 2007, 04:26:35 pm
2 things I want opinions on:

1. Pacman control panel overlays have a tiny little hole in each corner, as does the metal panel. These are too small for traditional carriage bolts. What originally goes in these?

2. I'm setting this cocktail up for multi-games, and I found these blue buttons that are the EXACT same size as Pacman's eyeball in the overlay art. I'm contemplating putting the button in that spot so as to blemish the art as little as possible. The button's rim is chrome though. It would look like Pacman's wearing a monicle!

My other option is putting it somewhere where the art is just black. I'd use a black button if I could find one. I'd be punching a hole through a repro overlay, while the panel itself is already riddled with button and bolt holes.

BUMP.

is it supposed to be rivets, or tiny carriage bolts?

The ones on my control panels are just painted black.
