    that looks ok but for me i'd put the stick and buttons on opposite sides. for example i'm right handed so i would use the stick in my right hand and operate the buttons with the left.
    My posts contain my own personal thoughts and opinions, they do not represent those of any organisation or group but my own.

    If you don't like what I post, Don't read it.

    SIMPLES.

    To me, the 8 play buttons are so close to eachother it hurts

    And i am sure
    Code:

    must be familiar to you, thats the site with all the info regarding classic gaming & making your own game cabinet & control panels.

    BTW, we make these cabinet kits:

    Thanks raitsa was hoping to get yr input as i dont post much on PD since i have a falling out with the mods there [although not banned we had some heated arguments] lol

    i was looking at buying a cabinet but after numerous emails and no reply i gave up

    i like the cab you make but to me looks very much like the one that luscid makes

    im very familiar with all those sites and byoac

    how much does one of those cabinets go for

    and will the control panel be cut out too as i want the holes for all the buttons and stuff

    i have a full plan with mesurements of mine above


    Attachment 11499

    the buttons imo are ok as if you look at the dimentions you wil see they are spaced apart as standard and o like em a little close to save on missing and for my main fav game track and feild
