See title. I am attempting to adapt the newly released PixelcadeLCD to a bartop arcade cabinet. From what I can tell, the inner width of my bartop is absolutely identical to a standard Arcade1Up machine, 17.75". Now, all I need to do is add two holes on my side panels, one of each side at the top in the marquee section, to mount the marquee to. Question is, what are the Arcade1Up screw hole dimensions for the depth and circumference of inner and outer bores that hold up the marquee? Thanks! It looks like the hole is made up of a larger circumference bore that does not go all the way through that holds the screw head and then a smaller circumference bore that allows the screw stem to poke through.
I went to the store and measured a demo Arcade1Up cabinet so I went down the rabbit hole tonight and am now back up. Following up on my mounting hole request for the PixelcadeLCD marquee, here is what is needed to make a Degenatrons-based bartop (must have 17.75” internal width!) compatible with that marquee. Here are the specifications: make a 9mm wide hole that is 6mm deep followed by a 5mm hole within it that goes all the way through. A hole like this will be located near the top of both of the two side panels across from the marquee, directly between the speaker and top panels, and 0.25"/0.375”/half your panel thickness forward from the hole's center point being flush with the front of the marquee opening. I made very detailed and easy-to-follow images that provide visual reference information:
Screw hole location:
Outer bore diameter: 9 mm / ~3/8”
Inner bore diameter: 5 mm / ~3/16"
Screw (this is just informational): stem 4 mm wide and 4 cm long (a M4 x 40 mm mounting screw should fit through, like this one)
(Not pictured)
Depth from outside of side panel to start of inner bore: 6 mm / ~1/4"
Depth from top panel and speaker panel front edges to center of screw hole: 0.375" meaning the center of the marquee
Screw hole location vertically*: center point between top panel and speaker panel
*Note: while it is vertical in the case of the Arcade1Up, the marquee section is slanted back on this and many bartops. So it is not vertical in reference to the ground but in reference to being perpendicular to the top and speaker panels. So please use the speaker and top panels as the reference planes in placing the hole 0.375" forward from being flush. Do not use the ground or bottom panel. In other words, use this image as a guide:
Again, let me know if you have any questions and I will be glad to answer them.
