Multi and standard Williams CP and CPO gauge suggestions

Even if you already own a MW or current standard Williams cab I encourage you to chime in. I would LOVE for everyone to share their likes and dislikes and what they would like to see.

Daviea is considering doing a run of metal Williams CP. It got me thinking, now is the perfect time to get everyone on board for a new run of the Multi Williams control panels. Here's where I need the input.

What is your favorite thing about your current Williams/MW control panel?

What is the least thing you like about your current setup?

What model of Williams CP's should Daviea focus on making?

Who's Multi Williams CPO are you currently using?

Does the the layout of the buttons of the MW feel right?


As a current NON MW owner, I think Phoenixarcades MW is graphically by far the best that has been produced. My judgment is from afar. I also remember people showng their dismay of other panels where buttons were misplaced. I believe it's also time for change. Just like Rikitiki did with D2K artwork we need a CPO that's theme matches with our brethren Jr0ks board. I believe we have enough talent to make a new CPO for the MW projects. Hell even if someone proposed a new AS overlay GREAT!
If this thread shows enough support for this project I will create a new thread and ask the Mods to pin it. There will be a prize - after all you need something to work for! Gents please do some talking!
 
I am planning on building a MW cab with a new jrok board and i would love to hear good feedback on cp, cpo, bezel and artwork and the best button/joystick layouts!
 
I have the Arcadeshop metal panel. I think it's fantastic but two things would make it perfect.

First the P1 and P2 need to be centered. They have been moved over to accomodate the vertical support inside the panel, but moving the support a fraction of an inch would solve the issue.

Second the hinge Arcadeshop sells for the panel is rather flimsy; it would be great to have a more sturdy version like the original on a Joust or Stargate.

While I'm at it one other request, if you sell a custom panel, offer a overlay template with it (digital or otherwise) I personally don't like the offered overlays out there that are just cut and paste logos and elements from different games with completely mis-matched styles. If you offer a custom panel give people the option to make it their own with out the tedious effort of buying the panel and mesuring it all out.

I have JROK's board sitting waiting for me to start my MW project. I like the Phoenixarcade CPO and bezel the best.
 
I like the Phoenix Arcade CP and CPO and entire artwork set, but I can;t wait forever for another run, so I am using the ArcadeShop CPO on a Robotron CP. It appears that the spacing on the CPO I got is different than normal. The hyperspace board is lower than usual which I don't like. If a metal CP was created and included the Phoenix cpo or a corrected Arcadeshop one then I would get it.

As for now I'm just going to use what I have do I can get the project done and out of my garage. I don't play Defender or Stargate anyway so it's not too much of an issue other than cosmetic.

The idea of having the hyperspace button in the middle of the CP verses directly inline/below the joy. Anyone like to share their preference?


IMO The button in the center isn't as pratical on the multi panel as it is on a deticated. You have to move you hand to get to it and the extra stick can get in the way a bit.
