Well, MK1 didn't come with plexi from the factory. MK2 and up did. I've actually never seen original sticks with the dust washers on top of the plexi/control panel. The wood underneath is routed out to accommodate the washer.
I've seen pictures with it on top, but wow. On the next stick I build I may have to do it that way.

I also noticed you mount your joysticks pretty low, is that how the original cabs were also or is that just a preference?

It's how I've always done it. With the Happ Comps, there's no real way to make them sit higher unless you use a thinner wood.

Ok, on my sticks I do an inlay under the control panel, for the joystick housing. Which I had no clue if the cabs were like that or not. I kinda came up with that on my own. Thanks.

Did you get the info you needed from the Jakobud plans? Do you still need parts numbers for the latches, etc? I doubt they would do you any good as they aren't manufactured anymore. I just bought these for the Injustice project and they worked great...

Cool I'll take a look at that. I think I remember posting something about cam lock latches a long time ago, when LizardLick went down I couldn't find the part anywhere else. I did end up finding a place that sells it.

I still had to fabricate a hook, but the cam lock + latch works perfectly on my UMK3 stick. I have all the parts sitting for a MK2 themed stick, I've been talking about building it forever. Hopefully this summer.
