My Control Panel hack

This panel came about, basically because of the cold weather. I was supposed to take a look at some of the guy's games Saturday, but I decided that driving 1 1/2 hours through sleet, ice, and snow wasn't a good idea. By Monday it's still cold, I can't solder in the house, and going out to garage and soldering with gloves on isn't a good idea. So, to do *something* with arcade controls, I got to cutting up the harness (it was in serious need of a rewiring anyway) and stripping the wires to put in the barrier strips I bought at Radio Shack. I had to do some creative wiring to get it wired, because the ground wires ran from button to button and are quite short. To my supprise, it worked perfectly! Beats the PowerRamp for sure!

One joystick (found out its 8/4 way switchable!), 6 buttons in an offset street fighter layout(Red, White, Blue buttons), based on a PowerRamp's guts, no soldering done by me.
It took me about 10 minutes to make! Still untitled...

Sorry for the long post!
