arcade button cut guide for new overlays???

arcade button cut guide for new overlays???

Just got my new arcade overlays for my vci. I was waiting until I had everything before I took my case to the machine shop to have the holes cut for my arcade buttons. When I print out the cut guide from Ean’s tutorial and place the overlay on top, I notice that on the new overlay the buttons are spread out further than the cut guide shows. Does anyone have the new coordinates?

Thanks,

Gabor

Well, I actually was wondering about that my self cause my arcade overlays don’t match my vci arcade cut. I got mine cut to spec of the cut size guide a while ago. (see attached file, this file is smaller for the upload) I gave it to my machinist and he cut the holes of my vci according to this measurements. So, I wasn’t sure if my vci was incorrectly cut or this guide is not the correct one(for this overlays). Did any one else had a similar problem???

Hey Guys,

sorry for the confusion but that file there is quite old. We have changed the position on the buttons a bit since then. Can you please tell me where you found it so I can make sure its taken down? We are finishing up an arcade upgrade kit for the DIY folks that will be ready in a few weeks.

That kit will contain:
a detailed DVD walk through
arcade buttons
electronics
the overlay
and the latest cut guide in CAD format

I would really wait until that is ready to cut your vci-100. If you already have the overlay email me and we will send you the cut guide.

For those that may have used an old cut guide or has a VCI-100 that is slightly off. We recommend just using the upper half of the overlay. Use a pair of scissors to cut it off just above the line faders and it will look similar to the original plates.

This cutting guide I downloaded months ago. I believe it was from one of the arcade forums. Thanks for clearing that up, I will take your suggestion and cut the overlay to fit it accordingly.

This is great news, i look forward to this!!

Hi Ean,

I just received my overlay. It is not the arcade button overlay, but would still like to add the Arcade button mod.(24mm Arcade Buttons)

I don’t have a problem cutting the arcade button holes in the Overlay, but need the cut guide in order to attach my buttons.

Do you have a 24mm Arcade Button Cut Guide?

I did mail in, but have not received a response yet.

Thanks!

Any word yet on when this will be released? Anxiously waiting!!

2 weeks apparently.

If you mail one of the team members, they will send you the cut guide if thats all you need.

Is it possible to post the updated cut guide here? I have the new overlay and a disassembled VCI-100 waiting to be cut!

Thanks!
