The Control Panel Top

OK, I finally found some free time this past week to cut out the CP top. I decided to go with the standard 2 player 6-button layout. It will also have a trackball and spinner - obviously I haven't cut the trackball hole yet. The top row will go something like this: P1 Start, P1 Coin, Spinner, Spinner Button 1, Spinner Button 2, P2 Coin, P2 Start.

This last shot shows roughly where the trackball will go:

If you are interested in the button layout check one of my older posts.

I hope to really make some progress on this thing now that the summer is here. The main thing holding me up is finding an entire afternoon to apply the stain and poly. Once that part is out of the way I will be able to work on it in smaller time increments which means after work and on the weekends when I have a free hour or so...
