**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. ---

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! Sarasin ---
