Any interest in "EXACT" Pacman Cabinet Plans?

I must say.. Recreating origional cabinets is a pain!
It's not so bad if your just using the origional cab as a router template to make a copy, but when your actually making prints...Sheesh.

Here's my "creative" method used to measure and duplicate the odd shaped side panels:



I used the 1" X 1" Grid to accurately determine the end points of the various arcs, and then used simple geometry to calculate the exact radius of the arcs.

This by far was the most difficult part of the entire cabinet.

Before I release them, A friend of mine with a CNC router is going to make me a cabinet using the plans.
That way I'll know they are accurate, and free of errors...

It just seemed like he changed the plans according to how the built cabinet turns out...
I just wanted to know if they are ready to post...

To Clarify:
Yes, the plans are "done, and readyto release"

However, before doing so.. I am having a prototype cabinet built from the plans to confirm the accuracy of the plans.
(I.E. Make sure all the curves/router slots/dimensions match the origional cabinet exactly.)

Sorry for the delay!
