[QUOTE="TerryRed, post: 234635, member: 5962"] I was able to get the materials I needed and get the following built while she was gone. [URL=http://s92.photobucket.com/user/thagerty/media/04-Build%20day.jpg.html][IMG]http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l34/thagerty/04-Build%20day.jpg[/IMG][/URL] What a surprise she had coming home to find her husband in the driveway cutting MDF board with his military gas mask on! ;) I think she knew I was too anxious to get her out of the house that day. :) This was a mock up for the arcade controls...I tried a couple of different layouts to see how I would like it. [URL=http://s92.photobucket.com/user/thagerty/media/05-Controls%20Prototype.jpg.html][IMG]http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l34/thagerty/05-Controls%20Prototype.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Three buttons on the side. Main flipper, 2nd flipper / special, and nudge. I personally can do without a "real" nudge control for now. A plunger was also not a priority either. That may come later. So I just have a normal button for now until i get a big dome type Launch button. The coin door is not for functionality, but just for looks and simple access. Maybe i'll get it working later on.

All open cut parts of the MDF were sealed with dry wall compound. Other areas were covered with wood filler.
