Got my Pi Position earlier this month and thought it would be useful to post the stuff I have come across and solved with y'all help (or haven't yet and will post updates when I know), in FAQ format. Found it frustrating to wade through this thread and not always find the answer. Fantastic...

This is fantastic. Thank you.

So I pulled this out of a jamma converted USA Pole Position II sit-down, being used as an iso transformer. I would usually be able to easily convert an Atari power supply to 240V, but it doesn’t match the usual ones. I’m hesitant to plug it in and measure. Based on the colours, can anyone ID...

Bumping this I guess, found a previous post of mine looking for help from 2017, so I'm still working on this damn chassis 9 years later. There are a few threads here and there, but most peter out without a fix. Got it fired up, but I have this exact same issue (super wide, no width adjustment...

Mate pretty sure the tinted plexi is standard, but my original unconverted Contra is in storage. I have a handful of Konami cabs and the one that’s out (Boot Camp) has it. Should be able to check for you next few days.

Getting off the shelf overlays is always going to be a crapshoot. They probably won't fit exactly, and you're spending time measuring and drawing etc. Best route to go is to get a sheet of your own plexi and a trim router. Take the panel off and use all the holes and edges as the guide. Done in...

Thanks - much appreciated. Just to confirm though - the speaker bezels look a lot thinner than 3/4". Unless they are recessed into the speaker panel? (Picture credit - screen grab from 19kfox on YouTube - some good big blue info in here)

That's probably as good as it needs to be. Can anyone tell me how thick the material is?

Stumbled upon this curious thread while trying to figure out if the monitor tube with Tapper burn-in will work (with a GO7 chassis) if I can be bothered to install it in my Tapper that came without a monitor. Planning on putting a BitKit2 in it. Fantastic piece of kit that. Anyway reading...

Slightly old thread, but I can help if you still need this. LMK. If you are able to tell me the dimensions for the speaker bezels on this same cab I’d appreciate it!

I will sample the other one too when I get a chance. Back to the paint shop...

Hey - just today I scanned a SM2000 big blue panel at the paint shop. (Bunnings, in Australia) Here’s what they gave me. Might be useful elsewhere, or not. Seems to be slightly different finish and colour compared to the 4P Captain Commando cabinet I have though (chip on the RHS of 3rd pic).

Just while on the topic, there were some of the original plans for this cabinet (Bally Sente SAC-1) listed on ebay a lot of years ago. I swiped some of the pics... Anyway thought someone might find it useful!

Hey - fantastic work all round here guys. Really appreciate the detailed pics and measurements.

Great work! Inspiring me to finish my restore. Laminate is next for me so those tips are really helpful. (edit: only just saw the topper post... but still) How are you going with the topper? I was hoping with recent advances in LiDAR scanning (e.g. from an iPhone 13+ with Polycam app) that...
