This isn't for a MAME cab. I want to know if I could get some dedicated classics down there.

Give the kid a break, he asked to borrow an empty cab not a working Galaga! Where in NJ? TNT is always giving away free cabs. If you cant fit a full size cab you can get cabaret games.

All right, perhaps I have been too harsh.

My apologies to USSEnterprise -- you did not ask for a working classic and to imply otherwise was unfair (although I woudn't lend out my project classics for such an endeavour either).

I still believe (as I did in the original thread as well) that a fridge box, possibly modified to size, is the best way to go about testing fit for those inexperienced with moving cabs in tight places. Nobody gets hurt and nothing gets broken or stuck. You can use glue and 1x2s for bracing inside the box to establish ridigity.

As for the size of a MsPac ... about 33"x24 3/4"x67" at maximum depth and height.

USSEnterprise -- I really do wish you well and hope that you will be able to get the machines you want down the stairs. Another option if the cabs you have listed don't fit is the old plywood Nintendo cabs (e.g. Donkey Kong) since they come apart and go back together relatively easily (same may be true for other plywood cabs like PacMan or Galaxian, but I haven't seen anybody try with those).

Cheers.

missioncontrol:

if you can move a refrigerator down there then you should be O.K.


but do what someone else suggestd and check out TNT if your close enough and see if you can get an empty cabinet from him... take a little kid with you though so that way the kid can kick him in the shin and say "That's for the Mrs. Pac-Man" then kick him in the other shin and say "And that's for the Black Knight Pin."

SirPeale:

I don't know why you need a whole box, all you need is the basic footprint.  So...about 25" wide, and maybe 30" deep.  Figure six feet high (less likely, but estimate higher) and that's your dimensions.
