There may not be plans online but I bet you can find cab dimensions. Just look around for ms pacman cab dimensions. The two are identical. Just work from there. OIt would probably be easier to fix up a junked cab, though.

Do you need Galaga cab artwork? I have a full set of new licensed reproduction artwork for sale. It includes the sideart, marquee, control panel overlay, and front kick panel. The only thing I don't have is the bezel because it's attached to a big piece of glass.

Found this via google:

http://arcadeshop.com/cabinets/cabinets.htm
I've never seen that site before but I like it. Too bad they're pre-assembled. I bet that makes them just that more expensive to ship.

I found a cabinet like the first one sitting in an arcade shop. It was an old pacman cab with some of the original paint still seen inside and all of the registration cards and serial numbers inside. It came with a coin door though and had formica on the sides and front. Total cost...... $20. ;D

Yeah converted cabs are pretty cheap - often free. The problem is they're converted. I'm dealing with like 8 of those right now. I'm trying to de-convert them.
