You can see a pic of the one I built a couple of years ago here:

It is the one in the center obviously....and can be rotated in about 2 seconds. It is very sturdy and not really hard to build.
If you think you might be interested let me know and if I can find some spare time I could write up some instructions on how to do it.
You would be better off emailing me.....I am pretty busy lately and although I used be a regular on this board I dont get here much anymore.

: I have a 4 player setup. Now I'm going to redo the control panel. This is so you can play 2 player 2joysticks each easier. Take a look at

: to see what I'm talking about.
: Anyway, I loved how Beam (who's cabinet is this?? I know you read the board) But I dont' think your solution will work for me. I can't use a router to sink in the joysticks.
: for the rest of this, you might want to see what beam did
: Anyway, I was thinking of this. I would take all 8 holes (the 4 holes when the joystick is pointing down, and the 4 when angled). Then I was thinking of cutting a trail between the holes (the topleft hole unturned to the topleft hole turned). This way, I could loosen each and turn it, the tighten.
: Does anyone think this might weaken the panel to much?
: Anyone else do anything that I should think of that might work? I really like the idea of turning the center two joysticks slightly for smashtv and such.
: Thanks
