Which reminds me. Jakobud, I can't remember if you said or not but would you be willing to draw-up plans for cabs that are modified/converted/slightly altered? I have a few that may "fit the bill" if you say yes.

That looks like my cab.  Or damn close to it.  However, I've found another pic of that same game in a completely different cabinet...

As for the marquee area, it has the full size glass, the bottom 3 or so inches are just covered up by the "speaker grille" that goes from the top of the monitor glass, up the incline, and wraps over the edge of the marquee.

Then again... I found another Sega game, this time from 1991 using that same cab...

Well that wasn't really what I was aiming to do when I started this thing.  The only exception I have made is I drew up LuSid's cabinet plans b/c his were so commonly used for so long.  Although nowadays I'm getting a handful of people sending me plans for custom made or altered cabinets and asking me if I want to draw them up.  The thing is, my plans for these cabinets are not full plans that tell you step by step what you have to do to put together a cabinet like an original.  If they were full complete plans I don't think I could fit them on a single piece of paper :)   The plans are here so that people can have a good idea of what the shape and size was of originals so they could use those dimensions to their hearts on content.  However if enough people are wanting me to start adding custom cabinets I will do so :)

menace:

The minicade plans.  There is 1/2" bracing inside between the bottom panel and the sides around the entire perimeter.  The rest of the panels were just secured with screws through the side, countersunk, and filled with wood filler.  My monitor support consists of 2 - 1"x2" stands with a 1/2" piece of ply over top as well as 2 -- 1"x2" running behind the tube at top and bottom (this will be different for each monitor depending on how they are put together)  The PC went under the monitor shelf so a slot 1 CPU will not work.  The back panel was hinged alowwing access to the insides and a hole drilled for the power supply.  The top section that is angled is where a vent hole was placed as well as the power switch.
