If I do get plexi, how do you attach it to the control panel (over the art) and NOT have screws/bolts visible from the top of the control panel?Ĥc. Will plexi make the difference as far as nice/clean looking? Or will the graphics sheet look fine on it's own and ALSO be durable from time/play?Ĥb. Fast forward to getting the holes drilled.I'm still trying to decide if I should have plexiglass or rely solely on the graphics from Ĥa. Given that I will need to route (i think? question 2a.) Will I have enough wood left to screw through the holes underneath? If not, how would one attach/secure it given these conditions?Ĥ. I am hoping to attach the joysticks underneath so that the screws/bolts do not show on top of the control panel. What dimensions should I route for the base of the joystick underneath?ģ. Do I need to also route for the 1 1/8 buttons? If so, how deep?Ģc.

How deep do I need to route for the joystick base underneath the bottom?Ģb. Regarding mounting the joysticks & buttons - It's my understanding that routing will have to be involved given that the joystick shaft is 49.35mm and the plywood is 3/4 inches, so my questions are:Ģa. I'm really hoping someone could generally advise me on the draft measurements picture I attached to help confirm if I'm on the right path or notĢ. Does this mean that the base of the joystick of player 1 should be straight/parallel with the edge of the cab but player should also "titled" underneath the panel? I don't really understand this concept.the base of the joystick is 2 1/8 inches x 3 3/4 inches.ġb. Is this the correct way to line up both templates for player 1 and player 2ġa. I need help understanding the concept of the slagcoin template, "slanted" player 2 template (see attached), both the templates and the picture of my panel. Ok, so my questions (there's a lot, sorry!!!!):ġ. The buttons are illuminated/led 1 1/8 (1.125). There will also be a start button above each player and 2 admin buttons at the very top center of the panel. I would like to use the attached 8 button per player layout template from Slagcoin, linked below. So.I'm working with a 2 player control panel that is 13 1/4 x 26 5/8.


I'm coming along, slowly, on my mame arcade cabinet.ready now to start seriously getting work done on building my control panel.but was hoping to get help/guidance before not doing something right :/
