Scratch building replica cabinets
« on: January 07, 2017, 07:15:52 am »
Hey there all :)
Im wanting to scratch build a few full size upright cabinets of my fave games.
Naturally I want the to be as close as possible to the real thing but I dont have access to any games for comparisons.
So I was wondering if anyone can direct me to any accurate cabinet plans for Galaxian/Pacman, Galaga/Ms Pacman, Donkey Kong, original Space invaders or Gyruss.
I have checked out Jakobuds plans but I haven't got the real machine to address the inaccuracies of them, though it is great that he has them up there for free.
Cheers :)

classicarcadecabinets.com has the best plans online. CNC ready if you ever decide to go that route.

I'm currently at work so if that URL isn't correct sorry
