I loosely based my cab on a Robotron cabaret.  It has a 24" footprint and is 5'6" tall.  Not sure what the original cabaret dimensions are for Robotron.

So a bit of a seque, but I am confused by Cabaret cabs (their history etc). I am very familiar with the standard size cabs, and the much less common cocktail cabs, but:

Why did some manufacturers build cabaret cabs?
How many arcade games (approx) were released in Cabaret cabs?
Were these cabs built for deployment in specific locations?

Cheers
Olaf

rdagger , Cool  cab :o. Thanks for the pic.  Myrmidon Im believe they were/are built for locations were space is an issue that way you can fit more cabs in  a smaller area.

As far as how many were made your guess is as Good as mine. I imagine that the popularity of a particular game would be a big factor in weather it was released in a cabaret version. There are some still being made by Amoco, The make the Parkman 25Th anniversary and the ms pacman / galaga games in cabarets

As far as specific locations, you would find then anywere you  would find fullsize games.
