Conflicts with Defender Cabinet Dimensions?
MameFan:
I have a Defender cab that was converted to bubble bobbl,e but the graphics are still on the sides (under the formica).
LMK if you need any measurements off of my defender cab.
In return, if you could help me locate a mini(cabaret) version of Centipede/DigDug/Tempest for measurements, let me know who would have one :)
Thanks.

Sounds like I'm going to go with 26" outside for the whole base (all four sides). But I'd appreciate you checking with a tape measure for me if you have the time. I'm pretty confident in the measurements of the side panels as a whole (as per King's drawing below). But I'd LOVE it if you could also measure the distance from the edge of the control panel to the glass so I know how deep to cut (and where the glass should start). King's site says 20/32 but I think that's how far from the edge of the side panel the glass is mounted (indicating where I have to mount the glass support). Maybe that's enough, but I've been thinking that the depth of the control panel is really the key measurement. The width is assumed to be 24.5" given I'm using 3/4" sheet material.
The rest I can get from studying pictures I think...
Thanks! I'll watch for those mini cabs!

mahuti:
My control panel and monitor area are temporariyl gutted right now. I'll send you detailed pics and measurements tonight.
MameFan:
Okay, took the notebook and loaded the pic in Paint (bad for editing!) and edited MOST of the measurements. If there isn't a white block next to the original number, then the original number was fine. All the rest were edits.
In addition, I added more measurements. I didnt do them well, but here are what they are:
A: Depth from front marquee edge [on side] that the top of the monitor plexi ends. (8 5/8")
B: Depth from front edge by control panel [on side] that the bottom of the monitor plexi ends (8")
C: Depth of control panel (8 1/8") deep
D: Height of front bump out that holds the coin door (17 1/8")
E: Depth from front bump out until the bottom facing (3 3/4") deep
F: Height of bottom facing 22 1/2"
I also added a height measurement of the angle of the back tilt (7 1/2") they didn't have before. (6 1/4" is the depth of the tilt I measured)
All the front panels are 24 7/16" wide.
Let me know what else you need me to measure.
The corners (inside and outside) are all somewhat rounded but have such a small radius, its just as easy to cut them blunt and just lightly sand with a sanding block, rather than attempt to measure and curve cut them.

You are my hero. I'll print and study this. I was hoping that things wouldn't be more than say, 1/4" off. I'm suprised at how different your numbers are. I wonder if Mahuti will find significantly different numbers too! (different revisions of cabinet?).
I hope I can return the favor somehow. I'll certainly put the data to immediate use.
