, blog about the Everything is progressing well... spent many hours today building the control panel. It all took much longer than I expected, which is pretty much par for the course when building an arcade cabinet! Attaching the vinyl overlay was a painful experience, and something I'm not keen to repeat in a hurry. Wiring was fun though, and everything went according to plan. I'm now at the stage where I can attach the control panel, front panel, and rear panel to the main cabinet... just need to haul the cabinet in from the garage! Then it's just a few finishing things: installing an external power button (connected to my PC's power button), adding a metal kick-plate, and sourcing some rubber for the edging.
Control panel (well, the beginnings of one anyway...)
Microswitches and spare joystick top
Buttons and Joysticks installed
Front panel with coin button
Control panel all wired up to I-PAC controller. Everything worked first time!
