japanese sit-at cabs - dimensions
aramis:
Just FYI, but I'm in Western NY and the "closest" arcade I've seen that has sit-down style cabs is up in Toronto. They were in EVERY arcade I went to, and there were a LOT of arcades! In any event, depending on where you live, it might be worth checking out as opposed to getting one shipped from the west coast, etc...

That is interesting. I've just checked online, and the only ones I've seen are on the west coast. I'll have to keep my eyes open. If you happen to see any for sale, please drop a line on the board. Thanks.

A couple thoughts....
I believe the sit-down cabinet is a Japanese phenomena, which probably explains why we don't see them here on the east coast.
My guess is that they stemmed from the Pachinko culture where people have become accustomed to sitting while playing.
A sit down cabinet can be made from wood, but they obviously wouldn't have the sleek, rounded corners of the fiberglass models. Would probably still look pretty cool, and I intend to design one when I get some time. Some starting dimensions sure would be nice though :).

I have a SNK Japanese 29" sit-down cab. It was from Arcadestuff on ebay. I had it shipped from California to Indiana for approx. $130
The cabinet that I have is all metal. It is very heavy.
Dimensions:

53 inches tall
27 inches deep (not incuding control panel)
