ok so keeping with the 2P theme, I have 2 questions.
Did you guys need to destroy the stock panels to get the sticks/buttons out? I know the PCBs are soldered to the buttons.
What if I bought a Hot-2005 panel and cut the holes for an 8 button layout? http://www.giz10p.co.uk/Cabinet-Parts/Sega-Naomi/Control-Panel-Plate-2L12B-HOT-2005-/prod_121.html
I could move the Start 1 and Start 2 up and add a home and back button for each player. I wish someone sold them blank, like even and egret panel would work better:

It looks like there is more room on the Hot-2005 then on the Astro City panel for more buttons. Can you add semitsu sticks to the Net City Panel?
All of this will require my own artwork inless the Net City overlay will allow room for that button. Let me do some mockups and Post them.
Yes you’d have to desolder the buttons and i’m not sure if other buttons would fit well without filing down the holes a bit.
I sold my stock panel with all the guts intacts on eBay for 80, so if you think you will no longer need it you could easily bring the cost of your mod down my selling the panel - must be someone out there who wants to put a saturn in an Astro cab?
The 6 button panels have their controls moved to the right a bit more than the 8 button one so the gap between the rightmost buttons and the 1p start would be quite small for extra buttons. plus i’ve seen a pic somewhere of someone who carelessly drilled a new hole in a sega panel and it twisted the overlay like a photoshop swirl effect.
All the sega panels i’ve seen use Sanwa mounts except i think for a 2 player 3 button orange “naomi” panel that was used on most virtua tennis cabs, it just had screw threads hanging down instead of a mount which i think was for Seimitsu sticks.
One option to add system buttons (but haven’t a clue how to do it) would be to make one of the buttons act as a “shift” key so the main buttons become start, select, home etc while its held down, but it would probably need some other electronics or really complex wiring.
The Lizard Lick Panel will not work. The Net City Panel however might just do it:
I would do my own art and most likely move the Start buttons up.

I just got my HSS-0130 from ibeatu. The lizardlick.com net city panel came in today as well. Since I wanted select and guide on the stick and since it was a reproduction panel, I figured drilling two holes on the left of the control panel wouldn’t do any harm. I disliked how the stainless steel was buffed around all of the holes for deburring. I have OSBC-RGs and a red meshball on there. Seimitsu 24 mm buttons.http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww301/rtdzign/HSS_0130/HSS_0130_Web01.jpg
I am going to apply this template to the control panel. I still have to 'shop the moveslist for all of the characters for SSFIV… but I have to find out all the moves and if I can fit it on that card, before I sent it off to mame marquees. I just might send of the for the control panel and get the instruction card printed locally.
To get the template of my stick with the new drilled holes, I taped together 3 pieces of paper to make one long paper. I then placed the panel face down and traced all of the holes on the paper. I traced face down because of the mounting plate. I then removed the tape and stuck each picture in my scanner and stitched it back together and flipped the image around because the trace was a backwards image.

I took out the PS2 pads and transplanted a MCC360 dual mod but plugged the USB jack on the rj-45 and put that in the case for now. Will finish the mod later. I plan to never do anything destructive to the case. My only problem is trying to get the MC Cthulhu to go into firmware flashing mode by holding start and select while plugging in. Nothing a paper weight can’t solve though. See video games taught me something!
Edit: Looking at the buffmarks on the panel they posted on the website, they sent me the exact same panel that they photographed on the webstie.http://www.lizardlick.com/pages/control_panels.shtml
nice work so far rt glad you are putting it to use unlike me

I was able to get a LS-56-01 in there with a MS Plate. That and the LS-55 are the best options for Seimitsu. LS-33 shaft is too short.
All of this will require my own artwork inless the Net City overlay will allow room for that button. Let me do some mockups and Post them.
Answered question in green.
This is sort of what I had in mind. I would use OBSN-18 or 20’s for back/start and a home button in the middle, maybe 2.
The placement of the white button in the middle will not work. That is where the center top control panel carriage bolt screws into Underneath that area there is white plastic for holding the bolt. That plastic there is why I could not get a LS-32 in the panel.
they wouldnt need to be there, just saying. It not a bad layout for the 8 buttons.
