Irem Madonna

Irem Madonna Control Panel

The control panel is pretty nice. It seems to be modular so you could interchange panels with different layouts, but this is the only layout I have seen on a Madonna. All the buttons are new from Happ, and the joysticks are Sanwa sticks I got from Ultimarc
Here is how it looked when I got it.
The CP opens up for pretty easy access. It locks with a key from the bottom - you can see the mechanism at the bottom of the picture. (P2 joystick was not hooked up in this pic)
The inside before the clean up.
I also added two switches for the underside of the CP. The one on the left is a credit switch for Jamma games that don't have freeplay, and the one on the right is a power switch so you can turn the game on easily.
Switches from the outside. I don't like the credit switch, and will probably change it in the near future. It just sticks out too much.
