cabinet plans?
« on: November 11, 2002, 09:26:33 pm »
Hello all,

It's been a while to check out the site (2 yrs at least) and now I'm ready to build a machine... but the links to the plans seem bad, except the pac cocktail plans (which by the way are incredibly well done).

Does anyone have plans for a cabinet?  I'm going to do an upright cabinet that would have either a SlickStick Classic or QUAD control system that I make myself, and the monitor will be a 19" computer monitor.  

I own one of only 2 ZipSticks they sold (I think). My friend owning the other before they closed up shop. It's a great stick but I really want to build a cabinet now.

Thanks,

James

This dude explains very clearly.

He has plans too but seems little too complicated for generic people like me and others here.(point is that it wont be easy if you try to build somthing like mamestation 2)

I loosely based mine off this plan.  It had great step-by-step instructions with full measurements.

Good luck on your project!

Wow that page actually charges for the plans.  It really isn't too difficult to draw up some of your own plans.  I'm a 23 years old kid with almost no wood working skills and mine came out perfect.  I based it on a few pictures I found and just measured to suit my needs.

Ok it turns out I had to reboot to get these links to work... Lucid's wasn't working earlier.  It does look simple.  I'm pretty crafty tho and I'm actually a 3D modeler/animator from way back to '80s so I'm not affraid of more complex projects.  I just needed a rough start to save me time and give me something to build off and ponder before I start mine.  Still debating options.  

I might build special cabinets for special functions, instead of craming all functions on to one control surface.  But not sure I want more than one cabinet in my puny house either haha.
