Project #2: Pac-man from scratch

(1/15) > >>

amadama:
Hi everyone,
As I finish up work on my mini Dragon's Lair cabinet I am going to start work on my #2 home built cab. A full size Pac-man.
For this one I can really use everyone's help here as I want this to be just like the real thing.
So far I have the following parts:
Marquee (I made it myself)
Control Panel (complete but needs restoration)
Coin door (complete but needs restoration)
Front glass bezel (in pretty good shape)
plastic monitor bezel with smoked plexi
Side and front art (full size, did it myself on self-adhesive vinyl)

I am basing it on Jacobud's plans from his site and have printed out a full size of the side panel to make a template for future use.
The biggest help I can use is in the positioning of the monitor and internal wood parts.
Thanks,
Alex
(Here's a sample of my artwork (taken mostly from localarcade with some minor modifications by me)

Here's some pics I've gathered from the internet.  I can't say for certain that they all are unmodded cabs, but FWIW....

More....  The last one is obviously modded, but it shows the difference in monitor mounting angle vs bezel mounting angle.

Hi Rick,
Thanks for posting these pics! The one showing the monitor angle is particularly good as it is this sort of thing that I am looking for!!
I wonder if anyone out there has made a template of the inside side panel of the Pac cab?
If anyone has please post it or let me know where to find it. I will happily update Jacobud's files with it!
Thanks again,
Alex

I took that inside monitor angle picture!
I still have the broken down cab in storage, but no time to measure!
I'll try to drag it home this weekend.
