Yesterday i ordered almost all my stuff from mike! I decided to go for the one player option, the original style :cheers:
Nintendo Bezel Art Retainer
Nintendo Control Panel bolt set (8 bolts/nuts)
Nintendo Lower Marquee / Top Bezel Bracket
Donkey Kong instruction card set
Control Panel Latch
Nintendo CP Strike Set
Nintendo Joystick Guard
Nintendo Black-ball joystick (4 or 8 way)
Nintendo Control Panel Retainer
Nintendo Machine Screw M3 x .5 x 6mm with Flat Head
5x Blue Pushbutton with Horizontal micro switch
1x Orange Pushbutton with Horizontal micro switch
I just need to order all the art work at Gameongrafix.
The problem is that i haven't install the marquee board in my arcade. I haven't figured of the triangle in the marquee or the angle of my beezel. My cabinet is a little bit off (thank you Jakobud), so i need to recalculate a couple of measurements.
The dimensions Scott gave where these:
Bezel 23wx 21.875h
Marquee 22wx6h
So I'm looking for the original measurements for the bezel and the marquee and the triangle in the marquee section.Any one can help me?
I want thank you all for the great support you guys have been, and the help you guys have been. Love it here!

Great start! also what I noticed was the quality of your build pics i.e. you are taking the time to take good pictures of your workshop progress. We love them around here. It's easy to get caught caught up in the build and forget to take pics, especially in those 'challenging' moments, but try to keep documenting your build as you're doing now, you'll be glad you did.
:cheers:

Hello!
I am a first poster here on BYOAC, I have been lurking here long enough to decide that I'll build my own arcade cabinet this summer/autumn. As you did, I chose to have a classic Nintendo cabinet too, and I did found the blueprints at Jakobud, but I really want the measurements to be accurate (we Europeans really don't dig the imperial unit system..). I wonder if anybody here can help me and Falcon NL and provide the measurements in metric, preferable in millimeters?
I am sure there are more builders which want it.
Good luck with your cabinet, looking good so far!

And im back! Its been a while since i had worked on my cabinet (school/work/girlfriend they need attention too) so here's a little update.
Part came in a while back, and boy it was like christmas!
And today i finally had time to make the speaker board. I never handled a router before, but its really easy and fun! It all worked out on my FIRST TRY! That made me especially proud ;D
I wanted to order my artwork at gameongrapix mamemarquees and Scott told me that the dementions where:
Bezel 23wx 21.875h
Marquee 22wx6h
But Im guessing these are in cm? because theres no way that these are inches...right?
Next to that still need to order the overlay for the CP and the artwork on the sides.
And there one question that keeps me bugging..what is this part? and what is it called?

Well still working on the cabinet!
Its been a while but progress is (slowly) coming along.
Yesterday i finished the back of my cab. All fits nice and snugly, just need to secure them into place with some L brackets a some woodglue.
I hope to finish the woord work on the cabinet this week. The Marquee board is cut but i cant place it in there yet, need to lay the cabinet down before i bolt every thing down. Just need to cut the tryangle for the CP, the CP and the Marquee light board!
