Need Information on this cab!

[RayB]

What about a quick n dirty sketch with some of the general measurements?

ie:
 - Length, height and width of the main body.
 - Height from floor to top of the glass.
 - Height of the backglass box

I think that should be enough for people to design from...

Yes, it is just a push button for the plunger. We can not really see it on the picture because it is black on right.

Unfortunaly i don't have time to make plan for this cab.

Ok, i 'm going to get few measurement for you, if i can tonight. 

WHAT!?!?!  You're just joking right?

About what?

Good news: I found a cab online.

Where?  The same?

[AlanS17]

The one I found was a mini pinball, but not the same game. It's just similar.

Let us know where the other cab is.  If your not going to drive... others might.

I would LOVE to have one... but have a feeling my wife wont let me do it.

But I have a dream of future pinball being finished with support for pinmame... Adding the eyetoy type head placement... To have the ultimate in home every - pinball pinball machine.

Actually I think it wouldn't be too tough to design one yourself. Start with the monitor and just build around that. The bottom part only needs to big enough to accomidate the monitor and coin door. Everything else can go behind the back glass. I'm seriously thinking about building one of these.

Anyone have a source for pinball legs and glass hardware?

That's what I was thinking - legs and and glass retainers. The rest should be a snap!

I know what I said about posting ebay auctions in the B/S/T forums (I don't like it), but this is different. It's from an ebay store...

The seller lives in South Carolina, and it looks like it's for local pickup only. They only want $350 for it, and I think it's working.

Anyone who buys this thing has to measure it off and post the dimensions. Deal?

[Stingray]

I'd love to have more info on the "plunger" on that one.

If it were within 100 miles of Tulsa I'd be seriously considering it.

Are you looking to set up a "plunger - like" switch, Stingray?

It might be pretty simple to hack one together. A regular plunger and spring assembly with a way to trigger an opto switch with a modded actuator on the plunger itself, with a rubber bumper stop of sorts to simulate hitting the "ball"... It might not be that hard to hack one together.

Yeah, that's true. I hadn't thought of trying to hack a real one. Now I just need to find one to experiment with.

Wow... we must all have ADD. How off-topic can we get? 

(I know I've got ADD.)

[youki]

I finally find time to take some measurements.

I considered the cabinet as big rectangular boxes but it is not true. So it is just to give you an idea.

Thank Youki!
