            @Graboid dont get me wrong. I absolutely love it because you themed it to a true classic and it came out great and i would be proud of owning a bartop like this. Probably more than other i have seen because im all about the old school. That was just my personal thought on the blue buttons and i hope you took no offense to it. Was not my intention. Take care my friend.

              @Graboid I see the set, I am talking about the control scheme sheet on the left of the main screen. I do not see that available. Do you have a pic of it to get ideas form or a location you purchased it?

                @twidget Ah sorry, yes I know what you mean. The 'Control Scheme' instructions. I made this in photoshop. Here's a copy

                        The magnets holding the control board was a great idea! Nice work!
