those of you with a taito cab, does it have t-molding? its hard to rtell from the pics it looks more like ply with a radiused edge...

time for a bump! anyone know about the t-molding, or lack thereof? and is the taito machine exactly 24" wide?

can anyone tell me off the top of their heads what size framework work (if any) is in a taito cab? that is, does it have a frame of 2 x 4s? or are the panels just screwed to each other? i went to a hardware store today to brainstorm. theres actually not much stopping me from beginning to cut wood now. im gettin itchy saw fingers!

Lutus:

The T-molding is a flat black molding and on the top corners around the marquee, the molding is cut at a 45 degree angle to accomadate the top piece and the side piece coming together.  Does that make sense?

yep, i think i know what you mean. ive embarked upon my journey to build a SI cab. ive gone with the taito version. i may yet make a second. i couldnt wait any longer so i got started last sunday. if it turns out to be way off i might sell it and do another. its therapeutic building things so i wont mind too much as ill take everything out of the cab and sell it 'bare bones'. but hopefully im building a fairly accurate representation first time round (",)
