All --

In my struggle to build a Midway Mini cabinet, I am missing some key measurements.

I am looking for someone with a Galaga mini cabinet, and about 30 minutes of time. (10 to read a drawing of what measurements are needed, and 10 to get them and 10 to email them back)

The Galaga mini cabinet seems to be the one that is the base design that is slightly changed for other games like Gorf, Tron, Satan's Hollow, Kickman and Ms.Pacman.   Note: Pac-Man and Galaxian used (much) uglier and different cabinets, at least the sides anyway.


If you have access to such a cabinet, I'd appreciate a little bit of your time in gathering a few measurement. I have a picture I can upload to this thread listing the measurements I need.

Thanks MUCH in advance if you can provide.   PS: I'm referring to the original single game mini's with 13" monitors--NOT the MsPac/Galaga "mini" that is as big as old full size games.

Hiya MonitorGuru


I took some measurements from a Tron Cabaret CP I plan on putting in a new built cabinet. Im going with these measurements off of this thread. Look halfway down the first page

And here is the measurements of the CP

Thanks SaniNRub.  The measurements on the control panel help a bit :)

I forgot about that old thread. I used that to start the building.  The two problems I ran into were that the diagram was for Tron and it had a larger marquee than Galaga/Kickman, and also that while it has the measurements for the inside pieces (speaker panel, back piece and bezel), it didn't show the angles of them inside the cabinet.  

When I held up similar pieces to my marquee that is smaller than the one drawn, I couldn't get them to fit nor get the right angle on the marquee. Again, probably due to the size difference of the marquee. I could guess but it might come out too wrong.  Thus why I was hoping someone had a cabinet with the smaller marquee to doublecheck the measurements.

Thanks again...
