Ms Pacman Counter top cab plans?
« on: March 27, 2005, 04:44:56 am »
Does any one have plans for a "authentic looking" Ms Pacman built around a 15" Monitor.
I am trying to build a counter top model that looks like the original, at least the top anyway. I am planning on taking the original dimensions and converting everything over, but it would be much easier if the calculations were already done.

Thanks, Patrick

While not plans, I think these are excellent examples.

I have a 14" tv reserved for a project like this.

I agree that Bishmasterb's design most closely incorporates the classic Pac/Ms. Pac cabinet curves in a bartop design. I plan on using that design for a Vantage-based vertical 486-DX bartop. I haven't seen plans, but he's posted shots of all sides so you should be able to wing-it and scale things to match your monitor.

I'm having some trouble with Firefox giving me the correct URL so I'll just describe...

Search for a December 13, 2004 thread called "Bartop plans". There are links to additional threads in there. Taken altogether, you'll find most of what's been done and discussed here.

Hmmm... now it seems to want to work. Try these two threads in addition to the one I described:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?board=1%3baction=display%3bthreadid=23215
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,27939.0.html

I'd love to see what you come up with.

Thanks..... Those gave me a good starting point.  Now I gues it is time to break out the calculator and work out dimensions....

Thanks!

I was looking to add a bartop to my surroundings and these look like great plans (with more measurements than I have ever seen before :^)

Cheers
Tom
