Is anyone making accurate Midway cocktail kits?

Arcadeshop has been OOS forever and I don't know where else to look. I want an exact (as possible) Midway replica (for Ms. Pac-Man) and most other cocktail kits I've seen aren't even close. Ideally it would be a flatpack that I'd assemble myself.

I've thought about building from scratch but I don't think I want to take on a project that big this summer (maybe).  I haven't been able to find an original to restore either plus they are super expensive these days and then I'd basically have to double that for parts...

I tried poking around and I couldn't find anything for you.

Thanks.  Best I can find is someone on eBay selling them for $750... basically empty.  A little too steep for me.  There's a Yestercades in town I may hit up over the weekend and see if I can talk to the manager there.  Maybe he has one to sell or at least has a lead.

i don't know if you are going to find a truly acurate midway cabinet, as the corners are kinda designed weird with the rounded edges that would have to be custom milled, slotted and the pieces glued together. doesn't really make a good flatpack.

this is probably why the kits you are finding have just straight up butt joints and don't look much like the midway.

Good point... but were all of them made that way?  Looking around online I see both rounded corners and overlapping panels.
