alternate cocktail cab plans?
(1/2) > >>
keltech:
i hope you can help
just wondering if anyone new where i could get plans to built an cocktail machine like this one that is selling on ebay? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3945&item=6115384267&rd=1

i've seen other plans on the web but they all seem to be the ms pacman cocktail style design plans.

thanks for any advice

depending on how handy you are this might be useful:

those drawings were  all i used to build mine:

if you want to build it with a vertical panel like the ebay one i would consider making a test panel and see if its comfortable playing mame on your pc first. i vaguely remember finding them awkward...

Buy one, get it shipped to you. I have owned 4 of those now and I can tell you that you would have to be an expert cabinet maker and own a metal fabrication shop to build one of those.

They are fairly cheap too. I just sold two of the darn things to soulcon for around $60 each.

Also, Danny, I can't believe you built one of those! I see yours is a bit different than the normal ones though, as the normal ones use a lot of metal in addition to the wood.

THANKS FOR THE REPLIES
great looking cab
!!!
i'm going to try and build one see how i get on, the hard thing is to make it look professional.

if could find an empty cab or kit in the uk i would buy one but theirs never any on sale so it looks like i have to build one.

Being an Aussie I'd really like plans or a kit for something similar too. We just didn't see the Ms.Pacman style tabletops here. Seems to me the interest in these Japanese style tables is growing around here lately.
