Thanks for the asteroids deluxe dimensions.... however they are very incomplete.... there is so much that they picture does not explain or show... :( There are several dimensions on there that are missing that would be needed to even draw the thing properly. Like the height from the floor straight up the front to where it starts to flare outwords for example. How could someone create that drawing and forget a simple dimension like that?? |

what i find easiest is to start at the back corner and measure everything in terms of up and over from this one fixed reference point (or x/y for you math types) like the front would be 0 up and 25 over or something like that. With these numbers it draws itself. All the corners are taken at the center where the edges would have met had they not been rounded off--this is inprecise but considering that we're only building cabinets (and not say rocket ships), I'm sure it's okay--just my .02 ;D |

I realize the Asteroids Deluxe dimensions are incomplete. I took the measurements at an auction and later on noticed the glaring omissions. Sorry. Still I believe there is some value to the incomplete measurements. To make the drawing you see there, I superimposed a side view of an Asteroids Deluxe cabinet on a grid. Each grid square equals one inch. I then stretched the grid until the measurements lined up with known values suce as the height and width of the side. Known problems: 1. The 33 1/2 measurement did not work out so I made the assumption that I had written it down in the wrong place. I had originally written that measurement from the floor to the under side of the cpanel. 2. There was an angled piece of glass that prevented me from taking measurements behind it. I drew it using a dotted line and approximated the lines behind the glass. Anyways, that is all I have for now. I am working on some more measurements of other cabs including Asteroids, Donkey Kong, Ms Pac, Galaga. Those are all at a friends house and we just need to work out a time when we can get together.

Okay thanks dph. I didnt realize that the Asteroids cabinet picture you posted was actually to scale. That makes things a little easier. Btw, I don't need Ms Pacman/Galaga, as I already have posted dimensionf for that cabinet on my website. |
