joelrsimpson[ at ]hotmail dot : Since the size and shape will have to remain pretty much the same as the original, I decided that maybe having a sheet metal shop custom fabricate a new control panel for me based on the original panel would be the best thing. Has anyone ever had a shop build one of these? Not just punch a few holes, but take a flat sheet and shape it. If so, could you give me an idea of how much it cost you? Thanks!
: Recently obtained a derelict Blue Print cabinet from the boneyard of a local arcade vendor for free. It was an unfortunate victim of a "Capcom Bowling" butchering/conversion and what is left of the original steel control panel is not pretty. The shape of the cabinet itself is fairly unique but not really conducive to any sort of enlargement or modification of the contol panel design (take a look at the cab at KLOV to see what I mean).
