Nintendo Control Panel Measurements
« on: October 16, 2013, 10:24:14 am »
Hey everybody.  Just looking for the exact measurements on a Nintendo Control panel.  (DK Popeye etc.)  I think the one I made was too short and I need to get the measurements so I can add the lip in the back.  Not too worried about the holes.  Thanks in advance.

The exact measurements I am searching for are marked on the pictures below.  If anyone has any input let me know.  I tried to get a hold of Jeff over @ KLOV (he was making replicas) but from what I can gather he hasn't been active in awhile.  Thanks in advance for everyones help.

Wish they did Rick.  If you download the plans its good for the outer cabinet but once you start to get to the inside it looks slim.

To me, from the plans, it looks like the control panel is 7.875" long, front to back. That certainly doesn't look to slim to me, personally. I get that there's a lot of information that they could have included to make it more understandable, but I think they have enough to make it look authentic. No?

Edit: Are you looking at the "Detail" page, specifically? The control panel dimension is there, and very good. Then, the "Side Layout" page provides the back/admin panel as 2.25" tall, and the front panel as 6.85" tall. I think it's all there. Let me know if there's anything I can help out with!

I hate (ass outta you and me)ing Rick.  From what I can gather from the plans A (on drawing two) is 1/2" deep by 1/2" high running the length of 22.5 inches of the cab.  If we were to go with that then B would be 3.35 inches and C would have to be an inch.  A on the original drawing can assumed to be 7.875 but thats only until it meets the bottom bezel retainer.  If thats the case and our notch is only .5 inches deep then the entire board would be 8.375 inches. 

I just hate to assume when someone on here can do me a kindness and pull out their CP and measure it.   :cheers:
