Thanks all, and I must say how much I like (and am envious) of your mini cab Jeveryh.

Pink may not be for me -- but I hope my cab will turn out as good looking as yours as well!

BTW: I'd love to see any more mini arcade plans anyone may have -- I'm a fanatical planner, and I think any additional plans would help.

Thanks again for the warm welcome!

MinerAl:

When i made my mini Galaga style cab, I used Jakobud's plans and just decided how tall I wanted it.  I made a fraction of (new height)/(original height) and multiplied every number on the plans by that fraction.

AtomSmasher:

I made one by shrinking the Lusid plans from the Project Arcade book to 3/4 of their original size.

Thanks for the compliments!  Just take your time and plan everything out and you will be fine (asking a lot of questions and doing research helps too!).

This is exactly what I did.  I wanted an "80%" cabinet so I took the jakobud Ms. Pac-man plans and shrunk all the dimensions down.  It wasn't perfect due to the weird conversions sometimes (like 80% of 1/16" is kind of tough to measure) but it came out great anyway.  I'll see if I can post my plans...
