I'm sure this might have been asked before..... If anyone owns an original arcade cabinet, what typically was the wood that was used? Is it white/beige colored melamine MDF used then? |
| PL1:
Unfortunately, your question is a little broad -- like asking what are house walls are built of. Some use wood 2x4's, some use metal 2x4's, some use 2x6's, some use drywall, some use paneling . . . The correct answer to your question depends on which cab you're referring to, but many cabs used laminate over plywood. Scott |

the majority of old school cabs were particle board covered in vinyl. personally i would advise the use of formica laminate over particle board or even plywood or mdf for a cab construction. |
| ChadTower:
Yep, it varies, generally by manufacturer. You're going to see mostly 3/4" MDF and plywood. |

MDF has been what I have used so far. Seems to work well. |
