As a collector, I rotate through my arcade games frequently, and having to mount the PCBs everytime I want to play a game got tiring very fast. So here's a simple fix. By attaching a universal PCB holder to a piece of wood I can keep my PCBs secured from shorting out on the metal interior of some of my cabinets while also making them easy to move around if I'm playing the PCB on my Supergun rig.
I wanted mine to look nice so I just purchased a bamboo cutting board from Amazon. I know this isn't groundbreaking but I'm always shocked to see fellow enthusiast running arcade PCBs all haphazardly. Just screw the PCB Holder onto the cutting board and add rubber feet to the other side to keep the cutting board from sliding around and just like that, you made yourself a versatile tool that will help protect your arcade boards and also make playing them a lot easier.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteThis universal arcade PCB holder is a game-changer! I’ve been struggling with cluttered test benches for ages, and this design finally offers a sleek, adjustable solution. The build quality seems robust enough to handle various board sizes without any hassle. Interestingly, the mounting versatility reminds me of how we secure a PCB for industrial control in automation projects. It is refreshing to see such a practical, modular approach applied to retro hardware preservation. If you are serious about arcade maintenance, this project is definitely a must-build. Fantastic job putting this together—it’s exactly what the community needed!
