I tell you what, if any plans or measurements for this style Tatio cab appears before this summer is over I'll be a happy little bunny! ;D |

A few cabinet measurements needed for Midway Kickman/Satans Hollow MINI Cabaret (or Wizard of Wor?) I started building a replica cabaret/mini a year ago to house my Kickman. I already have the mini monitor bezel and mini marquee, only needing the control panel (if anyone has one, even bare, as I already have the trackball, email me :) ) However all the farther I got was cutting out the two sides of the cabinet. I had a couple of contacts that promised dimensions when they "undug out" their machines, but a year later, I havn't gotten any farther or more details. The dimensions I need would take no more than 5-10 minutes for anyone owning a MINI Cabaret version of either a Kick(man) or Satan's Hollow. Possibly a Wizard of Wor could be used as well as it had the same side profile, but used horizontal vs vertical monitor so may be different. Here's what I mainly need. I know the widths (~18"), but need the rest of the cross-piece measurements. (Easiest would be to measure X/Y for both points of each from the lower back corner of a side) 1) Top piece (above/behind marquee) 2) Middle top piece (below.behind marquee with speaker grille attached) 3) Spacer board piece (between speaker board and monitor bezel) 4) Monitor bezel glass holder 5) Control panel top/front/lip (if I decide to build out of wood if I can't find an original one) 6) A couple other measurements to double check things regarding the back side. I can email a drawing indicating the points I need measured to assist. Thanks in advance. Reply here or via PM or in email ( bfrandse @ hotmail.com) -- please include "cabaret" or "mini" in the email so the spam filter doesn't trash it. ------ By the way, I have finished building a replica of an Atari mini cabaret. It came out looking very nice. I spent a total of about $45 on the wood, and $5 on stain, poly and spray paint and screws (caught some good deals). All I have left to do is cut into the control panel for controls and do the wiring. If anyone wants details on this I would be glad to post. I made the cabinet as large as I could to fit both sides onto a single 49"x97" piece of MDF to save costs, and make it lighter and more easy to move. It's about 4" shallower than the original's I think, per the draft plans the Kyle Lynstrom(sp?) gave me as he's not done with them yet. |

But I may be able to make you happy. Today I picked up this cabinet Let me know if you are interested. I will make them available eventually. [edit] I am very redundant. [/edit] |

Are any of these "plans" going to be completed? Most people will need more than sides if they want to build a replica cabinet. I'd think things such as coin door cutout, monitor shelf, marquee/speaker shelf, and such should be included at minimum. |

If anyone submits new measurements for sides I'll be happy ! If you think about it, after you have the sides cut out all you need are rectangles and squares, very easy, and as many older cabinets used 19" screens you would have to scale the width (and possibly depth) for a bigger monitor anyway. That's just my opinion, I say "custom" over "replica" (and I don't think you should be so demanding of volunteers) Don't be a llama :) Craig |
