Cocktail cabinet question

Archived from groups: alt.games.mame (More info?)

It's been a long time since I played a cocktail game and I was a lot
shorter also I noticed that most cocktail cabinets are about 30"
high and I was wondering, do your knees typically straddle the control
panel or do they go under it. I was hoping to make a control panel
about 22" wide and am worried about being able to sit comfortably at
this thing. To complicate things I am 6'- 4" and the wife is 5'-
2".

Hmmmmm.....Here's a thought. Mount your control panel on locking drawer
slides, then you can pull it out as far as you need to when playing and
push it all the way in when you want it out of the way.
