YES!  I felt better about this one... I used the other side of the cabinet which was not so "irregular" and did a rubbing of it, brought it inside and cleaned all edges and the numbers were so much better.

 8) excited for the rest of it now.
Happy Gaming!

here's what i've got...

there is some overlapping of the top panel and the upper rear panel...but that was expected since the back was shorter than it should be...the trade-off being that all of the angles are spot on...

i'll probably just make one of the rear panels a tad shorter...which one would be best to do this to...?

 :cheers:

Awesome... let me double check the rear top panel... I think thats the one that is off... also the rear top panel does not appear to be mitered either ( as you have it in the pic)... looks like the cabinet top panel just crudely sits on it... if I were to cut a new one I may consider mitering it to properly fit to the top panel.

Thanks for the update  :cheers:
Happy Gaming!

actually...i don't have it mitered...it kind of just looks that way from the overlapping...

the mockups that i did before had the two crudely sitting together...i'll definitely change that to give it a more clean look once we get final measurements squared away...

keep up the good work...this is fun...

oh... thats actually what I meant... I should have said: "does not appear mitered as you have it drawn"... that is...  you have it illustrated correctly :D

well those are too long for my model... :P

i shortened up the rear door...
it measures 42 9/16" in height...

ignore the displayed dimension...i realised i didn't have the bottom rear panel flush with the bottom edge...it's fixed now...

how does the back door open...?

Here is one more data point... I've attached a pic showing the distance measured between the top and bottom rear panels... this number is correct... so let the rear door measurement present itself..

It was stupid late last night... I may have  ::) given you some bad numbers.

Also... I played with the 3d model... the side panel distance along the back is about 1/4" short... I'm sure thats a function of the angles along the front / marquee area... but that may contribute to the problem with the back side.  :cheers:

Discrepancies with Coin door/floor panels
« Reply #49 on: April 16, 2020, 02:53:31 am »
I planned on using these dimensions to build my own Stern Cabinet, but while doing some simple adding and comparison to original cabs I found some issues with the proposed plans. I wanted to get this thread updated in the hopes no one uses those measurements to make a cab of the wrong size.

1. The bottom of the coin door panel measurement to the ground
-The dimensions show a 15/16 gap from the bottom of the coin door panel to the bottom of the side of the cabinet. Based on every stern cabinet photo I've seen that is not near accurate. It looks more like 1/1/2".

2. If I was to trust the coin door panel section their measurements do not add up anyway. Adding up the coin door panel front side at 36/1/2" + the reveal of the top 1/5/16" + the proposed bottom reveal 5/16" gives a total of 38/1/8" which is 1/8" larger than the entire 38" section it's supposed to take up of the cabinet side.

3. They have completely left out the section at the rear bottom of the cabinet side. Sure you could leave it as 90 corner, but it's supposed to have what looks like a triangle cut out of it.

4. Well this is quite obvious as well, but the floor panel too is off as it would be too low.

If anyone can help with correcting these that would be fantastic,

Thank you

Curtis
