Thanks Gibbous.... much appreciated.... :notworthy: these plans are not for the same cabinet as I need so please anyone with the same cabinet please help.... ANY HELP IS GOOD HELP |

I would think that you could adapt the measurements taken by Gibbous to be the style of cabinet you want. Just combine the two overlapping side panels and adjust everything between to be the same width as the control panel. Or get Stingray to measure his since the sidepanels are the same as the one you want. I think everyone just takes these cabinets for granted. I'd think they'd be great since they were made to do conversions and be easily serviced. As we've seen there are several variations as well. Check out the flyer for Ikari III. It looks to be identical to Stingray's except for the metal panel. Here's the Ikari Flyer and a Dynamo flyer which has the finished dimensions: |

yeah i think i may have to do that.... im suprised though that everyone seems to hav these cabinets in the US, but getting someone to measure up the plans would be so hard... ... i appreciate all your help guys.... but the quest for a cabinet to be measured (not mish-mashed together) still goes on... I await anyones help... once I do get the plans I post them up... |

I think part of the problem is that there isn't a specific cut-corner cabinet. Dynamo made these for a number of years and seems to have made MANY variations along the way. I figured the hardest/most expensive part of recreating a Dynamo cab would be the metal control panel itself. If you wanted to fabricate an exact replica, you'll need to have steel plates welded at weird angles. The funky angles would even make this difficult to do with wood. This probably leaves you buying an existing panel. Here's one off of eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-CONTROL-PANEL-4-Arcade-Game-Street-Fighter-2-Layout_W0QQitemZ6285840894QQcategoryZ13716QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem It looks fine, but if you notice he states that it's 23 7/8" across. The cabinet width on the flyer I posted was 28" wide for the 19" versions. Many of the Dynamo panels I've seen listed on eBay were about 26 1/2" (including the Champion Edition panel). Also, due to the size shipping costs are high even within the US. Here's another bit of weirdness: http://cgi.ebay.com/Large-arcade-game-control-panel-for-mame-or-Dynamo-HS5_W0QQitemZ6208747944QQcategoryZ13718QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem It's for the HS-5 25" version, but obviously it's a VERY different type of control panel. I guess my point is that they were designed to be generic and adaptable to different types of games. On top of this, there weren't that many dedicated games that came in them and even those (such as SFII:CE) usually ended up getting converted into some other game. This can make it difficult to identify exactly which version of the cabinet someone has. A local laundromat used to have Deer Hunting USA in an old CE cabinet. I only know that because they were lazy and put the orange overlay over the speckled CE overlay. I'm sure there are at least a couple people on these boards that have a CE cabinet, but it may come down to how patient you are to wait for them. I'm guessing you're holding out for a CE cabinet, but even the picture you posted is different than any I've ever seen (which were black). |

I see where your coming from and that the excate cabinet would be impossible, its the style im after. Once I have one plan from any of the size models I can create it to any size, its just getting a plan of a model. As to the control panel thats not difficult as a good friend is a metal fabricator and can make it in no time... but thanks for your reply :cheers: as stated before i'll just have to wait for someone to post there plans ::) |
