Any interest in original cab dimensions

I am after this exact style, with the two tiered cabinet shape. This is a pic of the back (P2) of the machine obviously.

Shouldn't be too hard for me to track down someone on this board with that style of cocktail.

I'm sorry for being lazy and not reading all six pages, but I read most of them.
I would be more than happy to help anyone undertaking such a project. But I need a quick clarification that has probably been answered somewhere on this thread.
It seems some people are offering pics+measurements. Is that OK? Here's the cabs that I have to be measured. Keep in mind this is a barn find and most are conversions, so if we are talking tape measure and digital camera I can handle that. Or if the following list contains enough cabs that people need dimensions to I'll read up on Autocad and do my best.
Here are the cabs I believe I can measure accurately (most were exposed to the elements for several years and have bad bottoms so this is an incomplete list-plus I can't name all the cabs.
Super Pac Man
I have 3 of these cabs but I think I only have one back, maybe none.
Stern cab
I have two-no backs again. These are conversions so I don't know what they were originally. I have been told they are a common Stern cab used by Frenzy, Turtles, etc.. Here is a pic of what one looks like-mine have the "Stern" logo down the side like the one in that link.
Bubbles?
This is a Williams cab that currently houses Yie-Ar Kung Fu. The bottom is rough on one side so measurements might be hard, I don't know yet because I've never tried. :)
Centipede
Again the bottom is rough. Currently has a Wrestling game. But the CP is a lightly converted Centipede CP if those measurements are needed.
Pole Position UR
Empty cab but I believe I have both parts to the back.
Game Plan
Currently houses a Mr Do's Castle. Say's it was made in 1981 in IL.
Gorf
No CP, but otherwise in good shape for measuring.
Zaxxon/Congo Bongo
I have two. These cabs are made of particle board and aren't worth restoring, but between the two I can get measurements. Both are complete, lumberwise. Lots of doors and angles on these cabs.
Universal Cab
This is exactly what I have. Universal made a lot of conversions and this seems to be their most common cab. Awesome design. Two-piece back, all complete.
I have others that I either cannnot think of or haven't yet ID'ed.
LMK if I can help.

OK, I just read the entire post. So I need to get the best measurements and drawings as possible.
And two more cabs I thought off:
Joust
Moon Cresta (I'm 85% sure it is)

Almost done, thought i would post a pic of my latest adventure. DK based on Jakobud's plans.
up next Popeye (cause i got the bezel etc).
nice work on the plans Jakobud ( couple of dimensions missing that we need to include in your plans). will email you shortly.
gotta get you those plans for the 6 player xmen!
btw, anyone got a template for the speaker grill?
or a Nintendo coin door in the uk?
Jakobud:
WOW mac, I am super stoked that you used my plans to make something that turned out so good! Looks totally genuine! I have some information on the speaker grill pattern btw. I will email you shortly about it.
And I will get those XMen plans soon too.
