Help! Anyone here got original Centipede upright?
1UP:
According to the model, the depth is the footprint depth, not including CP or marquee. If it did include those, it would be a really thin cabinet!! Seems like it would fall right over.

It's actually not that much bigger than the Centipede dimesions you have. The width and height is the same, but it's a bit deeper (36") so I can put in a 27" monitor later on. Still, that's only about 3" deeper than the older cabinets. Here's the latest pic:
More of a Defender profile now! I found that the coin door was going to interfere with the CP rotation, but I wanted to have a little foot room. The top still looks a little like Centipede though! :)
BTW, Glad I could help!

I have a centipede upright that I'm using for a mame conversion. I haven't done much cutting on it yet so I should be able to get most if not all you need. Where is your homepage so I can see what you need?

I made a drawing on my homepage under "Cabinet" where I'm showing all the measures I'd need.
Many thanx in advance!

I don't understand why you guys want to build cabinets based off of old cabinets like centipede. Doesn't make much sense to me. They are so odd looking and you are quite limited in control panel space.
For me, I based my cabinet dimensions off of a Mortal Kombat cabinet. This cabinet was actually used for many games by Midway. It's a great size and really good shape, and with the way the control panel is on it, there is a lot more space to put on whatever I want. I have controls for 4 players, a 3inch trackball and an oscar spinner with plenty of room left over. This is the same shape that LuSid's arcade flashback cabinet was based off of. And I know that his cabinet has been the basis for more homemade cabinets on BYOAC than any other. Anyways, hope you figure out those exact dimensions. I can't imagine it would be that hard to just find dimensions for such a classic cabinet online.

nevermind , I found it.
Here are the dimensions you asked for (inches):
A=33.5 B=36.25 C=39.75 D=41.25 E=54.25 F=62.5
G=69.25 H=27 I=56 J=27.75 K=24.25 L=31.5 M=26.5
please note that the dimensions I gave you are of the side panel not the inner control panel or backglass.
Also all corners are rounded so measures are at center of rounds.
the depth is 32'' at B
the width is 25.25'' and the interior width (control panel) is 23.75''
if you need any more measurements just ask.
Your project is similar to mine (centipede, rotating computer monitor, changeable control panels) if you find or make good sideart let me know!
