I'm trying to build a defender cocktail cabinet, but I can't find the parts for the control panel anywhere! Does anybody know where I can find the parts or how I can build a control panel myself.

The control panel has limited space to work with, so I need to keep the underside short and simple. Like this:

The Control Panels are VERY hard to come by. Time and Patience with a little help from KLOV and eBay is what I recommend. Be ready to drop some money though, as A LOT of people want these things.
 
Yeah, now I know what you meant when you said Defender parts are hard to come by. I actually just found a joystick will a verry small shaft that might work. It's not the original, but its better than nothing. I also found some transparent buttons just like in the picture. (but I cant tell what color the 'smart bomb' button is)

If I decide to do then, then all I'll really need to figure out is how to wire the controls.
 
I've got one of those 2-directional leaf-switch sticks and some leaf buttons if you are interested.
 
I'm deferentially interested! Have any pics of the shaft?





Sorry, I'm stuck using my iphone for awhile. It's mounted in a generic CPL right now, but it's completely intact and doesn't look like it's seen much if any use.
 
Very Cool!!!! I never realized the CPO was backlit.

And it looks *awesome* in the dark. When it comes to aesthetics, the cocktail rules over the upright.

On the underside of the panel zzaz3 shows, though, it's missing a bulb for one of the arrows near the joystick.

If you've got a pic of it lit up, please post. That CP is very cool, but I just never liked playing cocktail games. Too fiddly and too unnatural a playing position, hunched over them. Defender needs an upright to really appreciate the game, I reckon.
 
I should have turned the lights off. these are lit up, but you can't tell...

I wish I still had it. I sold it to a KLOVer years ago.

It was in beautiful shape, and it lit up like a Christmas tree in the dark. Obviously built for someplace like a bar or dark restaurant.

Well, you could buy mine, I have two that I'd sell. They are populated, but I don't recall if they are 100% complete. I can get you pics, but not until tomorrow as I won't be home this evening.
