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.

I have wondered about this as I have been drawing up so many plans for cabinets.  It seemed that more people were generally interested in the basic shape and look of the game.

I mean, if you wanted to make a real truely genuine replica cabinet there is a LOT you would have to measure on an original.  Like exactly where and how the monitor was mounted, what type of framing was used on the inside and the dimensions for all the internal mounting blocks, PCB mounting location and dimensions, power supply mounting dimensions, how the wires were mounted and run inside the cabinet, etc etc... the list goes on and on if you want to make a cabinet that is exactly like an original... and you are never going to get completely accurate dimensions for all these things unless you have access to the original cabinet blueprints from the original manufacturer....

Anyways, no matter how exact you try to make a 'replica' cabinet, it is still just a replica and not original and if a dimension is off by even a 1/8" that's enough justification to complain about it if you are truely wanting it to be EXACTLY like an original...

In the end, it seems like people want to just customize the cabinet a little bit here and there but they want the general shape of the originals.

Here's a strange request ;D

Anyone have a bartop megatouch they can measure up?

I've just seen these post tonight, 2 months after first asking if anyone had one of those cabs... lol *doh!*

did anyone ever get any measurements taken? I got some a short while back... but i didnt get any side measurements i dont think. like the width of the control panel and the like

if not dont worry about it, ill probably end up drawing them from scratch to just have that rough shape. But if anyone does have some numbers to throw at me (just dont throw too hardd) then ill love you forever...

well.. maybe a month or so  ;D

My Taito cab is 22 7/8" wide on the inside.  The top portion of the cp is 6 3/4" deep and the front of the cp is 6" high.  The marquee is 6" viewable (7.25" total).  Bezel is 20.5" deep.  These are what I have scribbled down here to do my artork anyway.

I was thinking that Spriggy was going to add all of that info to his dimensioned drawing when it is done just as Jakobud has been doing.  If you haven't seen Jak's site, check it out.  He is getting a good collection there.

Just about down on the Taito Sideart.  Just touching up a few places.
Then I'll start on the dimensions.  I'm also getting some original cabinet parts/brackets/artwork shipped to me, so I'll measure those as well for the plans.
