I love arcade cabinets, I have had mine for 6 or 8 years or so. Mine was built by Slikstik which is a company now out of business. It is a 2 player cabinet with 2 joysticks per player so you can even play games like Karate Champ in vs. mode, and you can also play 4 player gauntlet if you really want to (but its kind of a pain to set up). It also includes an central 4 way stick, a spinner, and a lighted trackball. It was the "Co2" version that Slikstik used to make upgraded with dual pinball buttons and dual rotary joysticks for games like Ikari Warriors, among other upgrades.
Gobsgraham,
The original wiring in my control panel is really well done, very nicely laid out, and I'd like to replace the existing spinner with an up/down spinner (from groovy game gear) in place of the existing tornado spinner, and I'm also considering replacing the existing buttons with a full set of transparent led buttons. I can figure it out on my own but I know my results will look like a hack job.
Do you have any experience with these? I'd be more than happy to pay someone to help me with this.
Edit: My buttons and sticks are connected to an iPac 4. The spinner I want connects via usb, so that part is easy except for mounting.
Edit again: The leds buttons would need to connect with something like this:
