hbm*rais,

I was not able to get over there today I had to solve a problem at my daughters school. I forgot that I have tickets for Halloween Horror Nights for tomorrow.

I will get it for you over the weekend though for sure. Your not imposing I will be more then happy to help. I will bring my cam to get pics of where the top and bottom meet for you also.

 :cheers:

John,

Don't worry. Take your time. I just want to make a quick model with SketchUp and play around with some ideas to see if I come out with something that is worth building. Nothing urgent.

Danny,

God call. Chablis' model is already a simplification. I'd prefer to start with something closer to the original, but I'd love to have a more detailed look at it anyway. I'll try to PM him.

 :cheers:

edit: Maybe Chablis' model is not a simplification of the SI. Maybe is a very faithful model of another cab. I don't know...

Ok,

Here we go,

The bottom is completely metal.

The wood is 9/16 thick

I will start with the top box.

The front is 30" x 7 7/8"

The Sides are 17 7/8 at the top and 15 1/4 at the bottom X 7 7/8

The top of the machine is 24 x 22 1/8 x 3/4 thick


The bottom box.

The front is  24 3/4 x 6 3/4

The side is 12 3/4  at the top and  10 5/8 on the bottom x 6 3/4

The side that has the opening for the coin box to go in, it is 11 1/4 to the outside of the lip/bezel for the coin box.

The measurement for the bottom do not include the extra 1/2 inch of material that is bent out to attach it to the top.

I have attached a few pics. The original Hi Res pics are NOT dial up friendly and their are more then I posted here.

Since they are so large I will not burden Saint hosting them but will make them available in case you need to zoom on something.

And just because I had the camera there is a pic or two of my other machines waiting for me to rescue them and bring them home.  ;D

I moved before I could finish off the control panel on the vertical mame machine.

I used to have the same cabinet!  I MAME'd it and eventually sold it.  Judging by the buttons, yours has another game in it (mine was a Taito Space Invaders).  Your leg mounts are on inside-out.  The threads for the bolts to tighten down on the tube legs should be on the inside.

It'll be interesting to see one of these rebuilt.  They are more complicated than a Midway style cocktail!  Good luck!

TTYL!
Wade

It was converted to something called Falcon. It was gutted when I got it and I have not done anything with it.

I intend to turn it into a space invaders eventually, I am on the list for Spacies cool looking glass clips for it already. :applaud:
