Just wanted to let you know that Arcade Solutions was the inspiration for several aspects of my cabinet, including getting a custom made metal control panel with professional painting.
Thanks again for "sharing the wealth" and "giving back to the community". It's nice to be able to learn from the experiences of some full-time "professionals" like Ray Iddings and yourself.

: I wanted to know if anyone was interested in how I put together the rotating joystick on my 'Ferrari' controller... http://members.home.net:80/hutt1/cad.htm
: Since I am not currently making controllers or cabinets for the time being, I was thinking about creating a few webpages dealing with the construction of the rotating joystick. But I didnt want to go through the trouble if there was not sufficient interest. So if there is enough response I will put one together. BTW: just in case someone does not know why you would need this item....it has a very limited use but it is for games like Q-Bert that use a joystick rotated 45 degrees.
: I was also considering an instructional page on my spinner design....any interest here? FYI: My spinner uses the Happ interface and can all be set up for dual spinners and a trackball from one interface (with a selector switch to change between spinner and trackball)
: Also for the spinner construction you will have to know how to do a little soldering (NOT the little soldering gun for wiring)...but soldering with a torch like a.....plumber :-)
: Anyway, if there is any interest LMK and I can get started....got a lot of things going on so it would probably be about 4-6 weeks before it would get finished.
