    I'm thinking of moving the power switch on my Spike 2 game from the head, to the traditional location near the right front leg.

    I'd do it so it could be fully reversible in the future. Has anyone done this? Any down side?

    BTW: what are these holes for on the bottom of the cabinet near the right front leg?

    Shaker

    Never tried it as I'm taller that 4'2. Zilla is in...Nice!

    Those are the pilot holes for the shaker motor. Instead of altering the cabinet, why don’t you just use a surge protector to switch it on and off? You can leave the surge protector under the machine towards the front and then you don’t have to alter your cabinet

    Hasn’t someone already done this? I think there’s a mod out there with everything needed to move the switch.

    Duh...shaker motor...I should have known that.

    One of these would work even better. Velcroed to the cabinet bottom.

    First world problem, I’d leave as is. Never felt the head location was an issue. I have found myself unconsciously reaching under the head of an older game after flipping in my Deadpool a couple times.
