I just measured the MK2 machine at my local arcade (which is an offical Midway cab), and I measured the T-Molding at 13/16". Is this correct? Is the wood also 13/16"? I would prefer making everything 3/4", but I want to make it as close to the Midway design as possible.

Since you didn't get any replies yet, I'll take a stab at it.

I believe that the MK2 cabinet was made from 3/4" thick stock. I am not aware of any construction sheets (plywood, particle board, MDF, or otherwise) that are available in a 13/16" thickness, but I could be wrong. There are a number of woodworking gurus around here that confirm/deny this, though. I don't *think* the original MK2 had laminated sides...

After 3/4" t-molding is pounded in the slot, it measures closer to 13/16" than 3/4", as I just checked on my cab. Perhaps that is what you saw?
