diy arcade joystick mame/amiga

[jvdbossc]

I like it anyhow, I cannot do it better.. pictures are not working at the moment...

Yes John, now working here too. Looks great! That perspex has made all the difference. Dunno about the varnish coating, it all depends on this matching its surroundings if you're hosting it at a "Wife's seal of approval" area of the house...

thanks guys

i want to take to the replay show but if you think varnish is a nono it saves me some time on it

ps the wife to be hates me doing these things and the amiga is the mistress

Staining it will make it pop I think..

I've hit a bit of a snag, unfortunately, and it's glitching at the moment - I hope I'll be able to fix it up tonight or tomorrow. Fingers crossed, anyway
