    I remember that rotating control panel from the ArcadeControls.com forum circa 2003.

    I think 75% of the projects on there back in the day would have constituted Mame of Shames. At the time they had a bit of a 'merican vibe where every control panel had to be bigger than the last one.

    Combining geeks with no sense of good design and power tools. What could go wrong?

    Sounds like a guaranteed trip to the Emergency Dept for a spot of suturing if you ask me!

    In regards to 8 buttons, a lot of people map them to 3P/3K for street fighter games - but those are cheater buttons.

    There's an arcade in Kilkee still has the glorious Sega Emergency Call Ambulance but they seem to be closed any time I went up there in the past year. All the machines are just sitting there too although they're pretty shook.

    Nothing that the skilled hands on this forum couldn't coax back to life.

    On reflection that sounded sexier than I had intended....

    My roadshow pinball came out of an arcade in Kilkee,

    Ah of course, it's a lovely cab, was just taking the piss.

    As for skills, if I can build synthesizers I can surely build a cab especially from a kit with the wooden panels precut.

    I lack the tools and skills to do a Banjo Guy Ollie effort though!
