i've got no problem making the measurements but jakobud will have to help. he's very good at making the plans and i'm horrible at it. it's quite a bit of work to get it right and make it easy to understand. which is one of the reasons his site is such a good addition to the community. i can't volunteer his effort, but if he's willing then it'll get done.

i'll have my game out in the garage and in pieces in mid may, so that's as soon as it will happen.

I'm interested in finding some detailed plans / dimensions for a dedicated UNIVERSAL cabinet.

I'm looking to build a dedicated Mr Do from scratch. Haven't been able to find a nice clean cabinet for my Mr Do board.

Okay I will keep this in mind and get ahold of you for it.  Keep in mind guys, the Tron cab, around the inner bezel area, has a lot of molded plastic that will be extremely difficult to reproduce (let alone difficult to draw out plans for).

Hello,

I hope this project is still going strong. It has been a very useful resource.

I was wondering if anyone can provide dimesions (or even part dimensions) for a Track and Field (Hyper Sports/Tetris)upright and a Phoenix (Centuri style, Time Pilot etc) upright.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pole Position Sit down cabinet plans. I would be most appreciative if you have ANY dimensions available on the sit down cabinet.

Jakobud's site seems to be down. Was his site moved somewhere else or mirrored maybe?

im amazed no one has dimensions for asteroids and space invaders! my own research has given a fairly good picture of asteroids (thanks to cheffojeffo and ascar9  :) ). here are the asteroids info so far:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=39916.0

i have a few more measurements to add to the drawing, i just havent had a chance to update it. talking of which it looks like jakobuds gone for good?

so ive covered asteroids, anyone got any space invaders dimensions?

CJ: could you do some rough measurements of your tron?  doesn't have to be a full drawing, just need the basic measurements.

I have something cool in mind...

Sure ... just ask DG how great my turn around time is ...  ::) (sorry, again, DG)

Seriously, so long as you aren't looking for the shroud angles and measurements, it shouldn't be a problem. I won't be able to get to it until after Mother's Day, but am rearranging machines shortly thereafter (cleared out a wall of furniture ... more room for cabinets!), so can put a tape to it (and thankfully, it is a pretty easy cab to measure).

If you don't hear from me, just PM me to remind me ... and repeat until completion.

Cheers.

Here's a WIP of Taito plans based on Wade's dimensions that he got while Spriggy was putting together the Taito sideart (see the references panel in the PDF).
I'm missing a few dimensions, so I'm sort of stuck now.

Anyone out there able to take some Taito cab dimensions for me?

I would be willing to pay for plans for a Gun Cab for Positional Guns.
I have a set of Revolution X guns, so if I had plans for T2, or some similar that would be very helpful.

Humm, I was thinking of doing that myself. LOL  I was thinking I could not live if all those plans disappeared.

I can pitch in with dimentions as I have an Asteroids and a Mortal Combat 4. Both full size uprights. :)

Can you send me the dimensions (inside) of your MK 4 cabinet please? (for monitor install)

Hi,

I'm trying to make a Double Dragon cabinet, and cannot find comprehensive plans anywhere on the net.
Have looked on the excellent Jakobud website, and require something similar with front and side views.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Andrew

Welcome  this is a really old thread but one idea for you to start to work out those measurements is download and take a little time to learn Sketchup and look up Double Dragon cabinet in sketchup downloads (its there somewhere) then using the measurement tool, you can get some measurements off there.

If you want to try mgb's advice, look at the Arcade cabinets by Gozer sketchup list.

Cheers mgb and PL1, that was precisely the sort of thing I was looking for.
I've done some design work in Sketchup previously, so it should be a piece of cake to get the angles/measurements I need now.

Already sourced the correct Marquee, Monitor Bezel and Control Overlay.
Just need to sort out the Taito Logo/Design on the side now and I will be set.

Thanks again guys.
Andrew
