Update...

Got the coin door mounted today. here is a picture. (Picture is not real good.)



Here is a picture from inside the cabinet.
Notice the small brackets around the edge of the coin door? This is what holds the coin door to the panel.
The braces on the sides of the cabinet are for the computer shelf.
Im not sure if you can tell in this picture, but one of the coin mechs is missing. I have it, just havent installed it yet.
Got to get some locks too.


And here is a picture with the computer shelf installed. The computer will sit on this shelf.
Notice the cutout for the coin door mechs.
The cabinet fan will mount in the back door, below this shelf.
The space around the shelf will allow air from the cabinet fan to blow around the computer, to remove the heat generated by the computer.

Also got the control panel painted.
Here is a picture of it with the first coat of paint:

The panel got two more coats of paint. I will let the paint on the control panel dry overnight.
It is very important that the paint be dry before placing the plexi glass on it. The plexi glass will adhere to sticky paint, making it hard to remove if necessary.
(Hopefully that wont ever be necessary.)
Next I will place the plexi glass then mount joysticks, trackball, and all the buttons.
Then the fun part of wiring it all into the keyboard encoder will start.
But before I can mount the trackball, I will have to hack a mouse and connect it to the trackball.
You can buy trackballs with the computer interface already on them, but the one I got from EBay does not have the interface, so some unlucky mouse will be hacked to death, or maybe just "assimilated" into the trackball!!
