What would be so hard about building one of those? for the side curves, you could just use a jigsaw on the wood, you just couldnt make the actual wood curves, but you could just make them straight. It would be cheaper than an upright, because you would only need about half as much wood. I think someone should try it, just need some measurements. Plus, with enough coats of paints, you would get that candy coated look, and wouldnt even know it was wood. |

Id definately consider one of those for a two player nfl blitz cabinet, can someone post front and side dimensions? |
| the3eyedblindman:
come to think of it...the circular angle on the front peices meeting the side pieces could be achieved by circular peices of molding, a little wood putty, and lots of paint, this is defiantely doable. |

They also bump out in back to clear the monitor neck. You are better off trying to duplicate an Aussie lowboy cab then you are one of these. Using wood would require the machine to be ever so slightly larger in each dimension, and then it wouldn't fit through a normal door anymore, the whole thing is basically built to hold the monitor, it is metal and the monitor just barely fits. I really did look into this and I have one in my living room I could copy, and trying to make that style out of wood would be a nightmare. Everything on them is to really tight tolerances. But really, counting the price of wood, assorted hardware and a 27" monitor, well, you can just buy one. If you really want to roll your own wooden one then simply buy your 27" monitor and I will measure the control panel height for you, that is going to be the only dimension you will be able to reuse. The monitor is at about a 60 degree angle and the monitor bay is the exact width and height so that a 27" monitor just barely fits in either direction. |

richardp171 had some candy / madonna cabs for sale a while back and he may still have some. He is actually helping me out with a CP for an ASTRO cab. He could probably answer the questions on the dimensions. If he still has the MADONNA cabs, I'll likely get one from him as soon as I sell my cocktail cab. The MADONNA's have rotatable monitors so you can switch quickly between VERT and HORIZ orientation. -Goz |
