Need a few specs on a US style cocktail
« on: July 23, 2004, 11:24:06 am »
I've been looking at the US style cocktails for a while, I like their overall design and now I'm thinking about building one as shown in the right picture.  Mainly because I love the overlays available.

Can anyone point me to a site/plans that I can use a a fairly good guide.

Cheers

Having owned all 3 major cocktail types (Midway, Japanese with vertical panels, and Japanese with "standard" panels), I would have to say that the BEST cocktail type is actually the Cinematronics type.

Takes a 19" monitor vertical OR horizontal. Has huge control panels, doesn't need pricey glass (actually uses plexi), and would be really easy to build.

They are actually really rare. I used to own a Jack the Giantkiller one, and a couple other games were available in them, but they are far from common.

You wouldn't even need to copy it, just look at it and steal the design and you will get a great cocktail.

A few details, the machine is 24" between the sides, just like most classic cabinets (which means 2 full size control panels). I don't remember how tall it is though, but kspiff owns one, so he could measure the height.
