frogger cab plans
« on: May 03, 2005, 11:06:21 pm »
Hi. I am planning on building a repo frogger cabinet a few months down the road. I'm not sure if it will be a dedicated frogger or a mame setup. I want it to look like a original frogger cab. (Accept with a newer coin door) Does anyone have a link to plans for the original cabinet . Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks    :)

I've not found plans anywhere myself. I'm not sure if it'll help, but my Crazy Kong came in a cabinet that seems to be a copy of the old Sega ones. I don't know how different it is, but the pictures look amazingly close with the exception of the monitor not leaning back. I'd be glad to take measurements of it if it would help.

It's pretty nice as a mame cab since you have front-accessable storage on the bottom. My cabinet's slowly getting cleaned up and changed to a MAME cabinet.
Brevity is not my strong suit.

rlemmon,

If you do aquire dimensions for the Frog, be sure to post them on this thread...

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,11347.0.html

If Jakobud's not busy, he may compile them for his website.

For your info.

Sometime in the next couple of days I'll get the measurements.

Does anyone know if height is measured to the start of the curved edge or the sharp corner that would have been there? I'll look at how it's measured on Jakobud's page.

It can't hurt to have the dimensions of another cab floating around, even if it is a knock-off. The only other thing that might be different is that mine is built with 7/8" laminated particle board. I think the sega cabs use 3/4". It shouldn't matter much for what you need it for though.

I don't know if it will help you get started, but I know the control panel face is 24" x 7" and the marquee is 6" x 24". If you haven't guessed, everything between the sides is 24".

My control panel layout is here:

I'm going to have to move the top-corner admin buttons in a bit from this picture, but it all fits fine otherwise.

If anyone wants to measure their Frogger (or Carnival, Fortress, Head On, Deep Scan, Invinco!, Digger, Astro Blaster, Eliminator, or Pulsar), that would still be a great help to the community.
