Original Ms. Pac-man joystick to multi CP adapter plate?
So, I am restoring my original Ms. Pac-man cocktail cabinet and I decided I wanted to add a multi board. My plan was to use all the original parts (joysticks, 1p/2p buttons) and not modify the original control panels so I got a set of multi 9" control panels and overlays from arcadeshop.
Now the problem is I want to use the original joysticks and the new control panel doesn't have mounting holes in the correct locations. I could try and drill them out but they are square for the carriage bolts. Does anyone make an original large footprint to newer style footprint adapter plate? I have seen several plates out there but they all are aimed at newer joysticks in older cabs so no one mentions if they work the other way. Another problem is the p1/p2 buttons dont fit, but I can file away at the new CP holes and get them to fit.
Control Panels:
CPOs (kinda ugly maybe I should just leave it black):
My original joystick footprint: ~ 5"W x 2 3/4" H
New control panel joystick footprint: ~ 2 3/4" W x 3 1/8" H
Potential Adapter Plates I know about:
Mike's arcade midway adapter plate:
