You sir are a gentleman and an arcade fanatic.
I humbly await pictures.
Now i need to go get a 5 gallon drool bucket.
By the time the pictures are posted i should have all the house stuff moved and have the workspace in my new shop setup ready too go.

I'm going to manipulate the repair schedule to get my boss to let me pick the thing up from the warehouse on a Thursday or Friday, afew weeks from now. This will allow me to stay after work to do a partial disassemble (take off seat, speaker grills, etc.) and take some detailed pics. Then I can print out photos at home and bring them back up on the weekend to measure and write notes on the pictures and get it put back together before my boss comes in on Monday. After all that, I can start editing the pics to show the measurments.
Since the bottom is the only constant straight edge throughout, I plan on basing almost all reference point measurements from the bottom cabinet edge, not the floor. I will take as-straight-on-as-possible pics of each side, full back, full front, full top, and (hopefully) full bottom view. I will also take multiple close up pics of as many things that I can get to without breaking it apart with a hammer, including any inside bracing or cross members I can access.
I will post High-Res pics offsite with a link in the thread, as well as pics adjusted to fit here for those who don't need high-res pics to get their info from. It has been suggested to place a yardstick or some such item in the pick for some to use as a scale reference. I may create a separate set of select pics with an overlying grid with a set scale for proper scaling. If my measurements are accurate enough, this might not be needed, but it could prove crucial to some to accurately plot any curves.
I will post here when I get the game in the shop, then start the new thread within a week when I get the pics ready.
Now..... quit drooling on your keyboard...... 8)

That's a lot of effort. Thank you for your time, we appreciate it. I will be extremely interested in the results.
I don't have my fileset yet either but I was also in on the initial group buy of the artwork. If the cockpit stuff in there is usable I can help out with that.
