Top work Oscar  ;D.  Does the panel for the speakers look less horizontal in the cad drawing than the actual pic from klov?  Or is it just me.

Wonder if Sonic could check some of Oscar's dimensions  ::).

Cheers

OSCAR:
Yeah, I agree that what I drew doesn't seem to match the KLOV photo.  I suspect that it has something to do with the angle of the control panel.  The one in the photo has a slant to it, and Sonic's sketch shows it horizontal.  I added an 8deg slant while keeping the edge dimensions, and it seems to look closer to the klov photo now.

Homebrew:
Awesome work Oscar, i was trying to figure those angles out myself, but math was never my strong point.   ;D Thanx for the help.  Thanx again to Sonic as well for the giving us the dimensions to start with.  Much appreciated guys.

Well if you look closely you'll notice that the control panel is just mounted over the cabinet in the front, anyways (since the control panel is modular and comes in different sizes). It bolts down from the inside in case you're trying to move a larger machine through a doorway.

It would be inaccurate to try to make just one measurement from the side. What you really need to know is the size of the cabinet with the control panel removed and then a seperate measurement of the control panel.

As much as I love these cabs, it would be a shame to see an inadequate recreation. For those on this board that have one, please take the time and get real measurements of this cabinet. Again, it would also be helpful to know the internal measurements as well because there are monitor mounting brackets and control panel mounts that aren't accounted for just by looking at the outside.

I don't mean to be a whiner, but why would anyone build something that looks like a Midway machine when they can just build a real Midway machine?

You are whining, you should be happy that someone took the time to document this and post it here. If you asked nicely for the specific dimensions you want without putting people down you might get them.

Some people want a Midway looking cabinet but aren't necessarily going for a reproduction due to other constraints, like door way size or customizeing it to be optimum for their own height.

If all one wanted was an exact midway cab its usually cheaper and its definately easier to just go buy one.
