Looks great, does it bother you that the Genesis version has more levels?

Whaaa? I had no idea! What are the extra levels like?Looks great, does it bother you that the Genesis version has more levels?
Ha ha, thanks!Holy shit this cabinet is sexier than socks on a rooster.
Your machine looks fantastic! What kind of joysticks will you be using? I hate the ones that came on my Altered Beast game and am looking to change them out with Happ Comp sticks I guess.
I'm just using the sticks that were in there. They are black microswitch sticks with a ball top. I was hoping they were the ones that came in the Altered Beast kit, but I haven't ever been able to definitely figure that out.Your machine looks fantastic! What kind of joysticks will you be using?

Weird layout for sure, but it is correct. The layout is defined in the manual.Now regarding the control panel. It looks fantastic. Although my only thought is I would have changed the button layout since you were welding the holes. That layout is just whatever the operator decided at the time. I would have done three in a row with the left most button about half a button diameter lower. Like a candy cabinet layout.
Probably should have moved them. To be correct, they would be at the top of the panel as you suggested, and as shown in the manual. While I was looking this up, I just realized that I DO have the correct joysitcks! They are shown in the manual too.Also I would have moved the start buttons to the top of the panel.
Don't use happ comps. Use IL Eurosticks from paradise arcade shop. The happ sticks are licensed copies of the Spanish IL sticks, but made completely from PVC, whereas the IL sticks use white nylon for the actuator and the bushing it rides on. The happs used to be made this way, but when they moved production to China they went cheap. The actuators will bind up cocked on the happ sticks.
Besides if you get the IL sticks they come with a color matched dust washer. The happs are all black, and you have more colors to select from than Happ sticks.
Did I mention that the IL sticks are cheaper too?

$12, they come in white, black, red, blue, green, yellow, orange, and purple. The purple seems to be out if stock at the moment.

But you did an awesome job and I don't want to take away from that.
The manual calls for black.So are the sticks supposed to be black or red?

And just for fun, a side-by-side before and after.
